2016 Brake Caliper Covers
I just bought a new base F-Type (with 20's) and in addition to getting ready to have it lowered and spaced, I am embarrassed by how cheap looking the brake calipers look.
I know that there are complaints of overheating, but I would like to find nice red caliper covers and cannot find any anywhere. Does anyone have sources? And do you know if the calipers on the 2016 are the same as a 2015?
Thanks in advance!

Cheaper to paint than buy all new calipers...

It's just too early in the F-Type product cycle for anything like caliper covers to be available yet. You are watching the development of aftermarket components unfold right here on this forum.
Here is a set for an XK with 18" wheels that might fit. Worth ordering and returning if they don't fit:MGP® - Jaguar XK-Type 2014 Caliper Covers with Jaguar / Leaper Logo Engraving

I don't have any leads, but I wanted to say that I do understand your concern. I was looking for caliper covers myself because I didn't want to mess with my leased car.
After seeing the return process though, I wouldn't be so concerned. I don't think they will even notice if you paint it a standard color like red.
You may also want to talk to your dealer as they may be ok with you making a small modification. Good luck either way.

LOL.
Just paint them red or whatever. You can do it yourself pretty easily for a few bucks. Caliper paint or engine paint will work.
When its time to turn car in, (and if you feel you must), hit them with a $5 can of silver paint. Done.
Or just say the factory paint came off (it probably will) and you had to paint them.
