Exterior Trim
Air Intake, Splitter Vane and Front Body Trim

A chrome splitter vane assembly is installed centrally in the bumper casing on normally aspirated vehicles, and a mesh grill is fitted to supercharged vehicles. The air intake incorporates polyurethane covers for the two bumper beam overriders. A Jaguar 'growler' badge is mounted centrally on the upper face of the front bumper casing.
Body Sides
Rocker panel mouldings are fitted to the rocker panels to enhance the side view of the vehicle. For certain markets, a Jaguar 'leaper' badge is surface mounted on the rear of each fender in place of side repeater lamps. Chrome door handles are fitted for North American markets.
Body Rear
Rear External Trim
Two script badges are surface mounted on the luggage compartment rear panel. A 'Jaguar' badge is located on the lefthand side. An XKR, XK8 or 4.2 badge is located on the right-hand side. The right-hand side badge has the external luggage compartment lock key access.
