My 2010 orginal black caps were corroded around the edges. Got new red caps from ebay and apart from no part number markings on the reverse side, I can't see any difference in quality. The red do look nice against my Kyanite Blue!

The guy I bought from has no more left, but Ebay item 160989237310 looks identical.

I looked at CariD but I'm not ready to "Pimp My Ride"! What about a chrome "leaper" on a base for my desk? And what about Jag apparal? My Jag dealer said "Jag quit making it". Thanks for your help.
Snide,

Check with your dealer first and then try these websites to compare prices for Jaguar parts and accessories:

Aftermarket:
Mina Gallery - Jaguar XK8 XJ8 XKR XJR X-TYPE S-TYPE Performance Parts Upgrades and Accessories
Welsh Enterprises - Welsh Enterprises - New Jaguar Parts, Used Jaguar Parts and Accessories - XK120 - XK140 - XK150 - E-Type - MK - XJ6 - XJ8 - XJ - XK8 - XK - XJS - S-Type - X-Type - XF
Eurotoys - Jaguar & Range Rover Performance Parts & Upgrades - Eurotoys Ltd
Paramount - Paramount Performance Aston Martin
SB Wheels - SB Wheels

OEM:
JaguarParts - "Jaguar Parts" - Jaguar parts and accessories catalog
Merriam Jaguar(Dealer) - Jaguar Parts Center - Call (800) 510-1401 for Genuine Jaguar Parts and Accessories

These are just a few. I'm sure that other forum members can suggest other sites.

Also, eBay motors UK eBay Motors | Shop a vast selection of used cars, motorcycles, boats and car parts. (which is where I found the compact spare for my XKR) as well as eBay USA and Amazon.com.

If you're looking for a particular item, you can search this forum or start a new thread to ask other members and see if anyone can help you.

I have the red center caps on my '13 Italian Racing Red XKR and they look great with the 5-spoke Takoba wheels and red calipers.

And the Takoba's are easy to keep clean. I had the Kasuga's on my '11 XJ SC and they were a real pain since the spokes were so close together.

Looks great! I feel your pain on the Kasugas - on my XKR175. And my Range Rover has 15-spoke shadow chrome wheels...those are even harder to clean!

Default I'll Buy Your Black Caps!

If you do buy the red caps that you're considering, and if you'd like to sell your 4 black growler caps, I'd be interested in buying them from you. Let me know. Thanks.

Jeff Durham at Greenville Volvo Jaguar Porsche (work: 864.478.1469) is an EXCELLENT source for OEM Jaguar parts. Very responsive and quotes the best prices that I can find (including versus Jaguar Merriam / Aristocrat); his price usually includes the same discount that Nalley used to offer.

No surprise, because that Greenville Jaguar dealership is part of the Asbury Automotive Group, which also owns Nalley. See: Asbury Automotive
