Default 2021 Model P300 no 'P300' badge?

Does anyone know why Jaguar doesn't put the P300 badge on the rear panel for these cars but they do for the P450? And has anyone know the dimensions for placing the P450 badge?

They think customers really want a P380 or better, so they leave it in stealth mode.
BTW, my P380 badge is removed (along with the other rear badges), so the un-cognisenti might think I have a P450!!!

Default No P380 anymore ☹️

P380 not an option anymore. The thing is the Jag dealership and Jag advertising actually had 'P300' in their blurb, so you think they would be ashamed of it?

The un-cognisenti wouldn't have a clue - they'd just know you have a great looking car!

Jaguar is not always consistent with which badges they use. I have a 2018 R Dynamic AWD. Some 2018 AWD cars have a separate AWD badge under the R Dynamic badge. Some do not.

Also at one point you were able to select if you wanted badges on the car when you configured the build.

It's possible, in the UK at least, to still select "no badges" in the build but, as I discovered when selecting that for my P450 last year, it only removes the variant designation badge. As such, for mine, it only stopped them sticking the P450 badge on the right. You'd think they'd give you a discount for saving them money but, alas, no!

I don't know if you will be able to find the exact dimensions, but you should be able to find a photo of one on Autotrader.com. I checked half a dozen 2021 P300s on there but none had the badge. I am sure if you check more you should be able to find one with it. I was checking cars all over the US.

Thanks for that, but can someone with a 2021 P450 just let me know how far down from boot (trunk) line and how far across from number plate (license plate) aperture the 'P450' is set? Surely one of you boys with a P450 has a rule or tape measure?

Default Balance restored.

'P300' badge in black installed by Monsterwraps of Hedge End near Southampton, UK, http://www.monsterwraps.co.uk/

I think it looks great and finishes the car off properly.
