Good grief. No wonder our cars exhibit a premature fading of the bright trim - now I know why! (Look, Ma - no protective film anywhere.) The Wallenius Wilhelmsen RORO car carriers have a capacity of 6000+ cars - but this makes waiting for the boat look ridiculous.

Jaguar/US seems to be an especially egregious practitioner of this "exaggerated" MY identification. Especially on models ending their run (like the S-Type). You would hope that at least a few cars would have been built in 2008 for something identified as a 2008 model, rather than stopping production half-way through the *previous* year. It is interesting that there is no such thing as a 2008 S-Type sold or advertised in the UK - the last were sold as 2007 cars, even though they were built at the same time as the "US-2008" cars.
Well, look at the last refresh of the Mustang here in the US... a few months into 2010 and they were selling "2011" Mustangs...
It is all really marketing, and makes it hard on consumers.

The Sun: a mythical orb of burning gases, rumoured to be the centre of the solar system, occasionally said to be glimpsed from the UK LOL

I'm not putting this in the For Sale thread because this is a for free give-away.
I have the entire set of side window bright trim pieces to give away to anyone who wants to come and get them (two of the sections are much too long to bother packing for shipment - and too fragile).
This bright trim is really in nice condition, with only a little of the usual "milky" deterioration apparent if you look at a few sections very intently at the right lighting angle. It just wasn't good enough for my 2008 S-Type, which took the 2011 JCNA National Concours championship in Class D-11 (9.991 avg score). The dealer had replaced this trim with brand-new trim under warranty, so it cost me nothing, and I am passing on the savings.
This is off a post-facelift car, so I am not sure if it will fit the pre-2002 models.
Oh, I am in Aiken, SC (near Augusta, GA).

Are you sure these are what you want for your STR? I thought that most STRs had gloss-black trim - these are the usual shiny bright trim on most other S-Types.
I would be happy to entertain a prepaid box, but it would have to be of a weird shape to fit the long trim pieces: about 54"x14"x4".
Plus I would have no responsibility for how the trim survives the shipping process. Even Jaguar Parts had to ship my replacement trim twice before an undamaged set arrived at the dealership.

To be honest all I'm looking for is the insert tab where located at the ends of each trim that bolts into the door
So even if the trim breaks or tabs get broken all I really need is that part.. Looks like it slides out if your gentle with it and I can just reinsert on mine. If nothing gets broken I can have them sanded down and sprayed black

This is getting way too complicated - all I wanted to do was give this trim away for free (no good deed goes unpunished). I'm afraid that I do not want to go to the trouble of finding a shipping box (dimensions in post #36 - yes the trim is back in the original Jaguar plastic packaging, but no box is in hand), determining the shipping cost, then messing with paypal. All for something that I am willing to give away for $0.00. I don't mean to sound stroppy, but my free time is limited. It's back to the attic or personal pickup.
