I'm an XF R-Sport guy posting here on the F-Type thread, so be gentle, but I would never debadge my car. I do, however hate dealer badges, luckily my dealer just uses a plate frame, which I'm fine with. The Jag dealer plate frame lets people know/believe that you bought it new and not at some CarStore type place, or at least a same make/dealer trade in. As much as I paid for it, I don't want people thinking that I bought it off Craigslist, lol.
I'm actually in the minority in that I have the 2016 R-Sport, and I almost wish it had a little something on the grill like S has. Although they don't currently make and XFR yet. so that will probably get the R grille badge. I do have R-Sport inserts in my side vents though, but they are tiny. And thankfully no 35-t on the back end, just XF.
I don't get the whole de-badging thing but I'm 51. I still kind of dig ostentatious, show-offy consumption.

Removing dealer badges in my mind isn't debadging, that's just doing things right. There's only one thing that annoys me more than seeing a dealer badge and that's the Friday afternoon dealer badge on a jaunty angle inversely proportional to the number of sh*ts given by the guy tasked with doing it...no license plate stuff either dude, I got forced into paying $138 for the Jaguar frame that came with the Vision Package ;-)

not that I needed the help noticing it, but that badge is a reason I kept really identifying and seeing the F-type around. It really makes it more noticeable. Originally I wanted one because I felt I was left out of the club, LOL but just got a base manual, which is more than enough to me.

Something I haven't thought of in decades, but I *was* voted most unusual in both junior high and high school. So this idea truly fits my own, idiom, sir. <---- joke: https://youtu.be/-jO1EOhGkY0
But this idea is hilarious. I'll form my own damn club. But then I would have to quit it because any club that would have me as a member, is not a club I would want to be a member of. (Groucho Marx)😅😉😄
Could you imagine? Lol even a photo shop of it would be funny
I remember telling the dealer I wanted a button, and they said they could throw one in. I declined, as I imagine that would be relatively inappropriate.
