Hello all. Happy to be a Jag owner and member here. I just urchased a slightly used 2017 Ce 35t AWD in Polaris White a month ago and just getting started with my dream ride.I’m a career Army soldier in the MN Army National Guard and serve as the state drug test coordinator. The only thing I love more than my car now is my job. I’m going to do just a few things to make it my own and just stated with a window tint and just last week got some Clear Mask paint protection film installed. M just bummed that I can’t take it to the car wash for a month to let the film seal to the body. I just got a chrome factory grill and Union Jack door sill plates that I’ve yet to install. I’m also looking to get a carbon fiber splitter, rear diffuser, skirts and trunk spoiler wing. I’ve also read about the muffler delete and love the sound but don’t want to do anything to void my warranty. I have plenty of experience with carbon fiber and titanium from my R1 trackbike which I’ve spent countless hours on racetracks around the country on. My XE is the first car to give me the same exhilaration as riding at Road America, Road Atlanta, Barber or even Miller Motorsports Park in UT. I hope to be able to utilize the knowledge of fellow members here to help me with my Jag. Looking forward to all the help everyone here can provide. The day I picked her up from the dealer.
Trying to keep her clean.

Hello, Chris,
Yes, Nothing looks quite so bad as a dirty white car; unless it's a dirty black one.
Congratulations on your new Jaguar.

Been working on a few upgrades. So far I’ve done the Clear Mask for protection, 50% tint and added the Union Jack stainless sills as well as changing out the grill for the factory chrome grill and chrome splitter bar. I also have a carbon fiber rear spoiler and just received my carbon fiber rear diffuser/valence. I’m going to try to install it this weekend. I also did the resonator delete and painted my calipers a couple weeks ago and added some hi temp vinyl Jaguar decals. It’s coming along nicely.





This is the diffuser that’s going on along with some Akrapovic carbon fiber exhaust tips. I also have a second diffuser I accidently ordered that’s made for a dual split exhaust tip I’d be willing to sell for a reasonable amount. No five week wait to get through customs of overseas shipping fee!

Here is the extra valence/diffuser I have if anyone knows anyone who’s interested. It’s brand new in the box and only removed to look at. Only looking to recover some of what I paid.
