I noticed that you don't have the drilled holes to install the plate on the caliper?!? Is that different on the XK vs XKR or did your refurb unit just not have them?!?
I'm pretty sure that plate is just an XKR thing. They appear to be very different brakes between the XK and XKR from what I have seen so far.
This refurb Is an OEM XK caliper cleaned up and rebuilt and looks exactly like the one I replaced.

I found a decal set that was very close to the dimensions of the logo on the stock piece. Turns out, that brake caliper decals are almost a perfect fit.
First, I like the old school rap selection... Second that is the same decals I used when I wrapped my calipers, two years and they still look new... I think I still have a couple extra, I might have to slap one up on the dash...

Did mind in as close to original "JAGUAR" lettering as possible. They were fading.

Any chance of seeing a pic of it on the car? Looks good so far!
What paint did you use?
Had a company nearby mix the paint and put it in a spray can. The finnish is not as nice as I would have liked it to be but that is probably the painters fault!
It's not a perfect colour match but close, looks better than the black plastic IMO.
When looking at the picture on the computer I see it is not properly seated so went out and gave it a couple of thumps and now it is!
When looking at the picture, I see you’ve got a lift and a spare front bumper!
Lift is very handy. The bumper is my old 2007, I just got my 2010 front bumper from the painter and am in the process of assembling it, love the look of it!
