Default Side marker search continues.

As most of you know, I'm obsessed with finding a unique side marker for my XK8. I completely forgot I had ordered these a while back and they came in the mail today. I have to say the quality is really nice! Heavy chrome metal, not plastic. So I thought I'd temporarily stick in to see what it looked like. Oddly enough I don't hate it. It's a copy of a real vintage jaguar badge but more modern. I doubt I'll use them but thought maybe I'd get some feedback.
I'm still waiting on my Union Jack badges! For now my non functioning clear markers will do. Side marker search continues.-image.jpg

Oddly, I don't hate it either. Thought I would when you showed the ad where you bought them. Kind of reminds me of Aston Martin somehow.

They remind me of Aston too. I like them though. Very vintage!

I know, right? I wanted to hate them but the bloody things look pretty good! And they fit over holes perfectly. I'm still not putting on until I see my new silver wheels and the Union Jack markers. And not till he finishes the new paint. Black mink metallic
