Front Bumper and Undertray

Front Bumper And Undertray







The hood is hinged at the front and supported by two non-locking gas struts when open. Hood release is by a lever located at the LHS 'A' post.

The front bumper beam is in a GMT material or aluminum for N. American markets, and covered in polyurethane. N. American models also have energy absorbing strut mountings. Valance reinforcement is provided for front fender mounting.

The front fenders are common parts to both coupe and convertible. A chrome-plated splitter vane with twin polyurethane overriders is installed in the front air intake of normally aspirated vehicles. On supercharged vehicles (XKR), a chromed mesh grill is installed in the front air intake.

The front fenders carry Jaguar badges and direction indicator repeaters. A single front towing eye stored in the trunk, screws in to either the left- or right-hand side of the lower cross member.
