Door pillar chrome surround

Interesting - I didn't know anyone offered after market reflectors as everyone seems to DIY, albeit it for colour coding purposes. Shame they don't offer them for the facelift versions.
Chrome seems to polarise opinion - personally I don't like it, but some people add it everywhere they can

i removed the Stype from the back,,,,,,,,,,painted the wheels and mirrors a different color.....i would say no no no to any chrome. especially door handles,,, you are not supposed to high-lite door handles, the only reason those are available is because they couldn't think of anything that was easier to swap out as an aftermarket part..... no chrome, chrome bad IMO

They are such carefully thought out beautiful designs there is little that can be done that will not detract from the balance offered by the original.
I would suggest living with it a while and changing that which bothers you. An S-Type R makes quite a statement as is and cheap add-ons often look like cheap add-ons.
This is from a guy that has owned two Jaguars with American engines which looked completely original from the outside.
Good luck in any case and I suggest keeping all original parts for resale.

all those things you want to add to me are so insignificant , that supercharged badge is very cheap looking, I know cause they are all over ebay and I bought one lol(better one out there), I will post pics of the subtle adds I have done to my str tomorrow
but everyone has different tastes, nothing is right, as long as you like it :-)
