Default Possible to install a SVR Front Bumper to an R?

Does anyone try to order a SVR front bumper and install it on a F-Type R?
Is it possible and convertible?

@Meister_Kajo how are you getting your SVR parts ordered? I would like to get the SVR side fenders, but I can't find any method of ordering them

If you have the part number and an SVR VIN, you should be able to get the part from any online supplier. They aren't listing the parts by model.

I asked Jaguar Germany on monday.
Please forgive me any faults about the translation...

"An exchange of the front aprons of the F-TYPE R and SVR among each other should be technically possible for my opinion. The mounting and mounting points should be the same.


The "bigger" topic, however, should be the orderability. For all without exception, all spare parts for Project 7, for example, are so-called "restricted parts". This means that the complete chassis number of a Project 7 must also be specified to order any spare part. Another complicating factor is that the more exclusive a special series, the more strictly care is taken that spare parts are only used for this special series. Starting with a documentation (photo) of the damaged and therefore replaceable component, up to the delivery of the defective part for quality assurance purposes to the manufacturer.


This is to ensure that the exclusivity of these models is preserved. I therefore assume that it is similar to the spare parts of the SVR. Even if it is not a limited edition, it is no less than the top model of the F-TYPE, whose appearance should be reserved for the SVR. With our now adjusted XKR-S was the same procedure."


Well, it' s difficult...

I doubt that the SVR is a limited edition car with restricted parts. They will produce as many SVRs as necessary to meet demand. Production of the Project 7, on the other hand, was limited to 250 units...not even enough to be homologated for racing purposes.

However, you generally will need to produce a valid VIN when purchasing any Jag parts. If SVR parts, then a valid SVR VIN will be needed.

Resale value of a vehicle in such a manner would be less than a factory EOM car. I guess ok if you plan on keeping it forever. Very low demand for cars modded in this way.

After seeing the prices for all the parts needed, especially the carbon fibre lip on bottom of bumper, the total makes it not worth doing, plus there is install and painting expense.
Seeing the pricing, it's no longer a possibility for me. Not worth it.

These cars are not an investment in any way financially. It's really an investment in enjoyment and if modifying the car this way brings more enjoyment then I say do it. And there is always the option to go back to stock later.

In terms of the cost for the overall conversion I would say it's totally not worth it. While the SVR front bumper does look more aggressive and slick, it's really not worth $5k for that conversion. It would be better to get some nice forged HRES (if it was me).

I agree ! Keep the money in my wallet.

There are a whole bunch of them on UK Ebay so no sure how they are getting them out of the factory as they all say new and unused, but I don't think it would do much for the resale, its a little bit like when everyone used to stick an M3 badge on a 318 in my opinion

You have to post at least five or 10 times on this forum before they allow you to PM.
