Replace S-Type stick-on logo
I've just bought a new S-Type stick-on logo for the trunk lid as the old one had lost its "chrome" finish. The sticky side of the new trim piece doesn't seem to be really sticky. Do I have to heat the thing? Or is there some gimmick I don't know about? I think I have to heat the old one to get it off, perhaps with a hair dryer (?). Any advice appreciated.

No you do not need to heat up the SType pieces to stick on. They are applied with a foam/cushy double sided tape.
If they are new, you just peel and stick.
If you bought it used, then you need to buy new automotive 3M double sided tape and reapply. Scrape off the old crap first.
OR you can just leave the SType off completely and put a XF Leaper badge there

It does look nice.... I know I was just kidding with you based on a thread a while back that talked about it...I'm sure Enthusiast was kidding as well.....
IMAO....I would pull the R badges as well... I was going to debadge mine but now I'm afraid it will start rusting....(now I'm just making fun of myself)

I have been reading your other thread in horror. I am blown away that that kind of corrosion is happening so quickly. Unreal.

Thanks George, the tips are actually aftermarket and were welded on when the exhaust was done. In comparison, they are significantly bigger than the stock one's.
I havent really compared 03,and 04's when it comes to the rear, but by valance, are you talking about the plastic piece in the bottom center?
Not really sure the exterior difference is in the front either, EXCEPT there are no FOGLIGHTS! But we all know that from my incessant bitching on past threads
Oh, and the clear sidemarkers were from Ebay, they just pop right off and I also got "chromium" bulbs that apprear clear/silver when off but flash amber. Cleans it up a bit I think.

Yeah I have HID fogs on my lowly 3.0...
Here's a pic from the day the S-Type came home. As you can tell the earlier ones don't have the lower black plastic pieces. The bumper cover is one piece.
My exhaust tips are stained and dull, and look like little toys.. Can you tell me how big your tips are diameter wise?

Yea, It blows me away as well. I has to be a quirk since no one else has piped up with the same issue. I just hope that Jaguar is as nice and helpful as my dealer is...

Time for the nerdy me to distinguish the 03 from the 05 (Note the only body difference between an R and base are body color bits and grill) the 05 has an updated rear bumper, tail lamps, and deck lid. Even the base car has the black plastic that runs across the bottom of the bumper from tip to tip. The nose was updated with a new hood, bumper, and grill....
One note about the 05 R...It is the only year that the strip on the trunk that runs between the tail lamps is body color. From 06 and up it is chrome just like a base car...

Yeah. Odd. The 03-04 had a strip that was shorter but also body color.

This also clearly shows that Bull's Exhaust tips aren't stock
Hope this clears it up.
