It's the Union...Jack! [OEM]

$14.95 plus $5.00 shipping. (Sweet, and subtle, touch IMO)

I nominate this as the “King of all mods” on this forum!

That may indeed be cheaper than the umbrella holder, and it's much cooler.

YOU then will be pleased to learn I have a gorgeous original photograph - signed by the photographer, Jesse Alexander - of Jim Clark hanging in my office.

I got the union jack valve caps at my dealer.. I like the subtle look. Likely no exposure to theft of these caps were I live, however if I park in Toronto, I may take them off and replace with standards.

What kind of world do we live in when a man (or woman) needs to remove their value stem covers (due to the possibility of theft)? What the hell have we been reduced to?

I know, I know...its a rhetorical question but gimme a break!!!

Agree, however, I've had 'silver' colour stems stolen of another vehicle when parked in the city... crazy stuff and really annoying.
Not all that different than getting a car keyed by some retarded low life. Saw an XK at my dealer getting estimate a few years ago, due to someone scratching the paint all down the side of the car.

One of the very first things I bought right after I ordered the car,I found mine on eBay too.

These are the only other thing I'm sticking on my car,another eBay item...they're really nicely made and are slim so they remain subtle:

Who am I kidding? I've had two cars stolen; a lovely 1980 Mazda RX-7 taken (I seem to recall in '81 or '82) - which I did get back with minimum damage - and my 1996 Acura NSX which I never did.

So, yes, I wouldn't put it past any a-hole stealing my Union Jack value stems (that said, would love to catch them).

The caps on Amazon from Columbia Jaguar are a different manufacturer part number than the caps listed as an accessory for the F-Type. But judging from your pictures they fit?

Good eye (like mine; as I too noticed that and called Columbia Jaguar and they confirmed that that number did in fact change).

Fits like a glove. A British glove (whatever the heck that means).
