Well, he doesn't have it yet!

However, only other possibilities that come to mind is that the white is glacier instead of polar, or the roof is wrong, neither of which are discernible from the pic.

That's a reflection of one of the street/dealer lamps from what I can tell...

There's a miniature Volvo SUV sitting on the roof of it.

This game turned out a lot better than I expected, i very much enjoyed everyone's responses so far. Mr. Buick is the closest to the actual issue so far... The angle of the photo disguises the problem a bit.

Side sills don't match the body colour?

You didn't spec whichever "Pack" paints the black plastic body colour?

Or did the "Pimp My Ride" team attack it by mistake???

That's a 2015 car with a 2016 Part on the rear end?

The body-colored sills color looks off. It could be the angle/reflection. But it looks much brighter/whiter than the rest of the car.

Are the hood vent slats supposed to be different than the 2015 models?

Did you get the correct rims you ordered?

i hate that on 2016s, too! ... the rear diffuser as well

The black pack does per the Jaguar website

Gloss Black finish to side window surrounds, front grille surround, side power vents and hood louvers.
Looks like the hood louvres are white is the only thing i can see.

I think thats a feature of MY2016. They also don't appear to go 'all the way' to the front wheel, but that (I think) is intentional.

Wait...final guess - drivers sill is MY2016, passenger sill is MY2015.... which couldn't possibly happen....

yea that's a change in 2016.

here are another 2 white cars with the black pack and the louvres are the same, so it can't be that.

2016 Jaguar F-TYPE R, $116,113 - Cars.com
2016 Jaguar F-TYPE R, $115,683 - Cars.com
