It has always irked me that the R (and then SVR) come stock with a nice badge on the bottom "spoke" of the steering wheel but there is no such animal for the S, not even as an option.
A few weeks ago I stumbled across a very cheap stick on S badge for the steering wheel, see here: https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/...05811546210148
Anyway, I stuck it on a couple of days ago and although it's not as nice as an insert with an integrated badge (like the R) it's not too shabby, especially for the price:
It looks much better in real life, the camera flash has washed out the colours a fair bit.
That looks all right Kim.
I don't see much of you posting elsewhere these days; how is the F type behaving?
Thanks Phil!
I post heaps on this forum so you can't be looking all that hard!
The F-Type is behaving very nicely, not a single problem since the small coolant leak a few months ago, and it goes like stink now with the larger crank pulley and tune with the added bonus of some very nice supercharger whine.

I look in here occasionally, reading what catches my attention, and commenting where appropriate. JC is very quiet these days, and I am banned everywhere else.
Good to hear about the F-Type; I would rather like one, but feel that old boys with younger wives, such as myself, look a bit sad in those type of cars; I have spent half my life ripping it out of blokes of my age (68 next month), driving 911s, so I am reluctant to join them.
I love the howl of the XJ's supercharger; the XF is more subdued in that department, but then it has more induction and exhaust roar.

So you aware the yellow part should be green, or is it the camera, looks good , a small piece of cut vinyl to cover the yellow part.
Always wondered why some S interiors have the S decal on the top of the dash below the center vents.
I've done some checking of used car ads and it looks like some 2013/2014 V8S F-Types (ie same as yours) had the S decal on the dash but most didn't.
Conversely every V6S F-Type I have ever seen has the S decal on the dash.

My 2015 V6S doesn’t but as I understand it whatever premium interior options I have - and I have many (including premium leather, leather package...or whatever it’s called) - negates an “S” on the dash or anywhere in the interior. I would have liked an “S” just below the pop up vent but c’est la vie. At least I have a flat-bottomed steering wheel. Given the choice between the two, I got what I want.
