I never noticed either way on the 175 I sold. If you're concerned about your car being a legit 175 go to Jaguar topix: https://topix.jaguar.jlrext.com/topix/user/loginForm to get the build of your VIN.
The 175 is a great car; however, I was disappointed Jaguar never built the 175 to the performance standards of the European 75. The 175 is a standard XKR with a body kit. I bought my 2013 XKR because it had the dynamic pack (same suspension, dynamics, and wheels as the XKR-S) and the performance exhaust. You can turn your exhaust into the performance exhaust by simply removing the 2 mid resonators and replacing them with an X-pipe.

I just had my grey ones painted red (yes, shake your head) and bought some vinyl stickers for them from ebay, which look great. See http://www.supergraphicsf1.com/Jaguar_Brake_Calipers.htm
