Updates for those who care:

I have had my Jag for about a month now and I am really feeling like its mine, done to date:

-Replaced wheel trim rings x3
-New Shoes x 4 (Michelins)
-Replaced the sagging A Pillar covers
-Full detail in/out including wet sanding and top conditioner
-Paint touch up on the steering wheel, dash and shift knob all looking like new
-Replaced previous owner sat radio mounted on dash with ice integrated sirius - radio and iPod/USB connections coming right through the factory radio with no -visible changes

Still to come:
Replace XKR badge with new OEM
Replace wheel badges with new OEM
Replace original floor mats (does anyone know if there is anyone out there selling the leaper mats with the leather trim as original?)
Mount carbon fiber 3' antenna to replace factory and improve looks
Install mesh girl below main grill
Replace/Condition hood louvers as they are looking weathered (any recommendations)
Upgrade exhaust looking for a bit more purrrrr
Add bits of carbon fiber trim to interior

My wife thinks I am crazy, I love this ****!

I would love to know how you accomplished this. I've looked at numerous threads on the factory radio, and I am still trying to determine the route I will take.

 

A busy month.

Any issues with replacing the wheel trim rings? Other than the cost.

My 'S' has the same embossed floor mats as yours and they are wearing around the white 'Jaguar' lettering. I'm going in to the Dealers on Friday and planned to enquire if they are still available. I'll let you know.

Graham, the rover/jag dealer here told me they no longer make the style I described. Curious if that matches what your dealer says. No issues, aside from cost, on the wheels. Glad for that. I will post pics. Hypo, Universal SIRIUS Factory-Like Kit for Car Radios | TSS-Radio The solution is a sirius tuner they hide behind the dash. I can play my iPod or listen to Sirius or Pandora. Controls are weather off the iPod, through the included remote and limited through the factory radio. I can see what is playing on the factory screen. But have to scroll through my playlists through the iPod. Small price to pay for the aesthetics. Let me know if you want more.

 

Thanks for the link. I'll look into this.

 

Dealer checked with Jaguar this morning. The embossed front mats are out of stock at the factory. They have been removed from the list and there's no plans to remanufacture.

They also checked the UK Dealer network for me to see if anyone still had them on the shelf - zero.

SNG Barrat do some of not bad quality, not OE but a good price

 

How do you do this - Install mesh girl below main grill

I would like to do this, but I am not sure if I can find a girl to do this!!!

Sorry, could not resist the temptation.

Good luck with your car!!
