I did notice a bit but it was actually the pads. My mechanic used a special brand that has almost no dust. I'll try to get the brand today.

Mine went on with no problems. Even my mechanic, who as skeptical, says they're no issue. It's more time consuming taking off wheels!!

Hi Guys,
I have a brand new set that are black with silver Jaguar lettered front and rear available. The fronts were mounted and removed with zero road time. Was going to put them on Craigslist today, but if someone wants them I'll let them go for $100 plus shipping. (cost over $200) Please PM me if interested.
Thanks,
Dave

Do the MGP covers fit the XKR? I'd looked at these a bit ago but after researching thought I came to the conclusion they only fit the XK8.
I may be wrong and would like clarification (I did notice in a earlier post a XKR member did use them, was it a special order?)

When I bought them, they had only offered for the XKR (x100) they wouldn't guarantee they would fit my XK8. I took a chance and they fit.

I also second simkins!
Just paint your calipers. Putting the covers reminds me of a person wearing a fake Rolex!!

I agree about the fake brembo covers. Plastic and posing as expensive calipers, complete with fake plastic chrome parts.
The MGP covers aren't posing as anything. They simply cover the stock bland calipers and give a clean look. I have the calipers painted on my XF and they look like crap. I'm ordering the covers for it too.
