Thanks for the additional shots. Really appreciate it. Very nice.
I've done some further enquiring at a few dealerships and it seems that Jag has replaced the original part with a new one and has also changed the design somewhat from the original. I'm not sure why, but have heard two reasons:
1- chrome peeling off of originals
2- originals had problems with fitment
No idea where the truth lies here, but the original part is no longer available for order (at least not in North America).
Cheers!

They slide over the stock tips and are held on with a supplied bolt. Check out some photos of them uncounted on this thread: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...modded-124114/

I have been thinking about adding the finisher to my car. The cost is now $470.00. I guess since they are no longer chrome but polished SS the cost has been reduced.
It seems that the OEM finisher is polished SS so the only difference I see in the two is the center vane. If this is the case I am pondering the center vane being worth $470.00. I have to admit I do find the look tempting.

I am wondering if MDabney has the first tail pipe finishers manufactured as they appear to be chrome and there is a notch in the upper and lower lip of the finisher that lines up with the center vane.
The new polished ss finisher does not have this notch in the upper and lower part of the lip that lines up with the center vane.
What has me on the fence from purchasing these finishers is that I was drawn to the fact that I thought they were chrome but now that they are polished ss, the only difference between these and the OEM is the center vane.
The accessories that I have added to my car are: Plastic Trunk Mat, Illuminated Tread Plate both front and rear, Illuminated Trunk (Boot) Finisher and Growler Chrome Lug Nuts.

XJsss,
You're right. I stand corrected; round quad exhaust tips were introduced on the 2014 XJR.
For more XJR photos, see http://www.caranddriver.com/photo-ga...nd-info-news#7
If this was helpful, please press at the bottom right.
