Exterior Moulding / Trim: Description and Operation

Exterior Trim

Air Intake, Splitter Vane And Front Body Trim







Body Front

A chrome splitter vane assembly installed centrally in the bumper casing 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

For certain markets, a Jaguar 'leaper' badge is surface mounted on the rear of each fender in place of side repeater lamps. Three piece color-keyed body side mouldings are surface mounted to align with the side repeaters or Jaguar 'leaper' badges dependent upon the market. Chrome door handles are fitted for N. American markets.

Door Sills

Extruded, polished aluminum tread plates with 'Jaguar XK8' inscriptions are fitted to the door sills.

Body Rear

Rear External Trim







Two script badges are surface mounted on the trunk rear panel. A 'Jaguar' badge is fitted on the LH side, and an 'XK8' badge on the RH side has external trunk lock key access between the letters X and K.

GLAZING

Door glass trims and one piece windshield and coupe backlight finishers are in extruded aluminum alloy and painted Dorchester grey on all cars. Coupe quarter-light trims are secured to the body at waist level by 'T' studs, and at the top by clips bonded with the glass as an assembly.
