Greetings from Florida! The day after I bought my used convertible, Hermine formed and it has rained every day (not all day- I have still managed to put the top down a few times and take my grand kids and my pit mix, Ethyl, for joy rides! ) Ethyl is also my security system.
For those not familiar with American football, Jacksonville is the home of the Jaguars- a team that was sued by Jaguar and had to change their logo because it too closely resembled the hood ornament.
My car is currently turquoise, which is a color found in nature, but not, as far as I am aware, in the Jaguar world. The seats have also been customized with ostrich skin leather. In short, someone pimped this vehicle.
I have been lurking the forums while I deliberated my purchase, and the optimism and experiences shared have been a great help to me already. I will post a pic later. I am awake at 4am wondering about brake shoes.

Kind of hard to describe this paint color

 

that........is quite an interesting color

the chrome "air vent" on the fender looks like its just glued on....the car looks cleaner without it

enjoy!

 

I am afraid of what is underneath. I think my first baby step will be to get rid of the metal/ plastic trim on the door.

 

Welcome to Jaguar Forums MrsToadsWildRide.

It's foam rubber secured with double sided tape. Warm it with a hair drier and gradually peel off. Nylon fishing line is good for helping this! The doors are painted underneath so no rectification needed other than cleaning off old adhesive.
