Default Jaguar XK / XKR Nose Bra

I'm looking for a Jaguar supplied nose bra for an 04 XKR that you would be willing to ship on my dime. Thanks.

Just a suggestion- have you considered a clear bra? The old-style leather/vinyl bras, even OEM ones, are abrasive on the paint and can do more harm than good over time. They're not really used anymore.

Take a look here: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-anyone-53383/

Default Clear Bra

So far my car has picked up one single bumper chip in 15K miles. Lucky I guess and I would like to keep it that way.


I've had both types. I had a 3m film on a 928 and after a few years the edges started really showing. Upon removal I found that it protects the paint to a point but when it takes a hit from fine gravel, the paint chips just as it would without, and upon removal the paint comes off stuck to the film. I would not use it again myself.


I had a good quality standard bra on another car which I ran for 6 years. The trick is to take it off frequently and keep the surfaces clean. A lot of people tend to install one and just leave it. Yes grit will get in-between overtime and scratch the paint.
