Possibility of non-standard factory customization?
#1

Pardon me if this is a completely ignorant question, but I'm totally new to the Jaguar brand, and looking closely at a new build F-Pace order: is there any way to customize a Jaguar when ordering from the factory that ISN'T spec'd in the website configurator? I know some of the other luxury car makers permit bespoke departures from the standard option lineup, but don't know if Jaguar has any option for such a thing. The reason I ask is that I would like an F-Pace with all of the technology options of an R, but I do not want the R's heavily side-bolstered sport seats. I like the ventilated prestige seats much more. So I either want a prestige build with the adaptive cruise control, lane assist, etc. added, or more plausibly an R-build with the seats "downgraded" to prestige seats. I assume changing either of those after delivery would be extremely cost prohibitive.
I asked the dealer, and he said the web configuration tool the public sees captures what is and isn't possible. Is that always the case, or can true custom changes be made?
Thanks for any thoughts.

My jaguar dealer gave me the impression is that you can have things off the main build, but it will cost. I am considering an XJR575 and I dont like Firenze red but want Italian Racing red. It will cost, but should be possible. Also, the LWB version of the XJR is not available on the build menu but apparently can be bought if you are willing to pay for the special changes. I am in Australia and notice some of the options on the UK site are not on the Aust site. I may request some of them. I find it hard to imagine that a car built in the UK for Australia couldnt have all the UK options.
Time will tell.

My understanding is that IRR is Firenze. They just changed the name of the color. As for differences in an Australian build, I noticed several when comparing specs for the F-PACE. For example, it seems that in Australia an F-PACE can be ordered with a "solid" roof, whereas in the U.S. build, only "glass" is available.

MY wife wants an E-pace and again, checking out the build options, there are a few extra options available in the UK and not in Australia such as carbon fibre mirrors and vents. Minor to be sure, but I dont understand why. Maybe the website in Australia is just a bit ordinary.
Cheers!

It is possible that explains some differences in some models, but XJs are only made in the UK. Also, I dont get why there should be differences at all. When you spend billions of dollars on setting up a new model, why restrict a specific PAINT colour to one or more markets only? Seems odd to me.
