Interesting thread. Today, I ordered new weather strips for both doors, to replace the pockmarked ones.
Thanks to the guys at S N G Barratt for helping source the parts for me and to forum member @GGG for explaining how to install the weather strips!
Will post installation and update photos when the parts arrive later this week.

1. Is this a clip on type mirror or does it require removal of rear view mirror?
2. Where did you get the power source from? Center console?
3. Is it a wireless system?
4. Does the rear view camera require power from the backup rear light?
5. How difficult was the installation?
Thank you so much. I’m seriously considering this.

Thats awesome. I have a few questions for you.
1. Is this a clip on type mirror or does it require removal of rear view mirror?
2. Where did you get the power source from? Center console?
3. Is it a wireless system?
4. Does the rear view camera require power from the backup rear light?

2. Power for the mirror is from the kick panel fuse box.
3. It’s wired.
4. Camera is powered from the switched power in the trunk...thanks to Sean W and WhiteXKR for that info. The reverse trigger is the backup light.
5. I had help from my brother-in-law who has done several of these, but not in a Jaguar. Install was not difficult, but took about 3.5 hours of being careful and not breaking anything.
I’m sure my neighbors think I’m nuts backing in and out of the garage...I like it😎

“what would trigger the front to turn on?”
If you look at the pic of the mirror, you’ll see the power button in the center as well as two selector buttons. The right button is the rear and the left button would be for “aux video”, i.e. front camera, phone mirroring or videos (with other hardware), etc. Putting the car in reverse overrides the other channel. Too complicated for my old brain.

Not exactly "today" but ...
I didn't do this "today" but a couple weeks ago replaced the wheels and tires with four brand new of each.
In the purchase inspection it was found that the front two wheels were bent a bit. I could have repaired them for about $400 each, but the dealership had 4 never-used 20" Senta wheels (the same that were already on the car). The dealership's wheels had come off a showroom car that was purchased - but the owner wanted different wheels. So they had been sitting in the dealer's warehouse for about 7 years collecting dust and the dealer was anxious to get rid of them. They said I could have a pair for $1,000, or all four for $1,600 (these are Canadian dollars). So I bought the four. Plus wholesale price on four new Dunlop tires.
The two rear ones that came with the car look perfect (seem to have never touched a curb) so I have two rear spares if I manage to mangle one of the rear ones. So I did well, and the car looks fantastic. I have to say, I am a fan of the Senta wheels on this car.
New wheels about to go on
The finished product.

Deliberate hard to say but there as deep gashes taken out of the inner spokes (unsure how one would achieve that sort of damage) with backing into the rim.
Yes the body also has a small crease a few cms long and in a specific spot the clear is taken off exposing the base coat .

Me too always I've always fancied the senta wheel unfortunately all mine we buckled too costly to re-roll so istead of having them repaired I went out and purchased a new set of diamond turned gyrodynes (currently plasti-dipped in silver for durability)

All the best.

It's extremely frustrating as the wheels are brand new and now damaged by no fault of my own
