I have a 16R with every option on the car including carbon ceramics and carbon roof, etc... And although irrelevant I also have a ME degree...
So yes, I'm sure I have the aluminum, and also have good vision and can see that they are not cut through.
Now in response to your other answer that they are an accessory sold at $600, that's useful info, so thanks. That's way too expensive for a set of paddles...

Dude, I know you're a smart guy, and post sensible stuff most of the time, and there there is useless **** like this? So you think it's a special skill to tell the difference between aluminum and plastic? Come on man... The only way I can rationalize that asinine response is trying to get your post count up, if that's the case please stop, and it doesn't hurt to be less condescending in life in general.

I recall a discussion about special yellow paint for the SVR and possibly other F-Types, but I can't find it despite searching.
However I found this on the Oz Jag FB page:
It looks like you can order a "bespoke" SVR with pretty much any colour you want, well at least here in Oz!

Silver: T2R6547MMU
Red (Land Rover): T2R6547CAY
I found these to be too short and made my own, which ended up costing way more lol

I was thinking about this.... I didn't personalize my car to stand out, it's just I drove a BRG Wrangler with Tan Top for 20 years, and that's what I wanted (and felt most appropriate for the e-type successor).
Is there a way I could search a database of how many British Racing Green Tan Top vert F-Types exist on the planet? Super curious now.

The businesses that get it is about hospitality, service, and personalization coupled with "pay to play" access to luxury are going to do incredibly well, with this coming age of ultra wealth never feeling recessions, etc. It's a smart move, albeit wildly niche. Good money tho.

Alloy accessory paddle sold by Jaguar. Note symbol cut all the way through and brushed finish.
Standard paddle fitted to V8. Note indented symbol.
Comparison. The alloy paddle is longer and thinner.
HTH.

HTH is this a worthwhile upgrade
Can you feel the difference bw stock plastic and the alu in your hands?
I'll admit, i assumed the stock silver paddles were alu in their feel - my evo x and m3 has alu paddles and i really can't tell the difference - my s3/rs3 though you could really fell they were plastic
$450 here

- The 6 speed ZF box currently sourced isn't rated to hold the V8 horsepower.
- The automatic transmission is intertwined into many other modules via their software. You'd have to modify/redevelop software for the PCM, ABS, BCM, IPC, Active Diff, etc just to get everything to play nice together and not confuse everything.
- Jaguar would have to re-certify the vehicle via emissions compliance and crash certifications.
There's a reason the manual transmission is a dying breed when so few people buy them. We're lucky we got anything.
The only possible way to do this type of a thing would be to buy an SVR and have it changed over to a manual trans car afterwards to avoid the crash test/emissions issue. You'd still have to deal with the software compatibility (or just live with the associated issued).
