door mirror covers

[Spyderromeo]

I have lost the rear view mirror cover on my XKR (Buckinghamshire wooded lanes!) but rather than get involved in paint jobs on primed parts I decided to replace both sides and go for a chrome finish. I can find a few sellers of the parts but their specs don't seem to be the same as my understanding of Jaguars. Can anyone enlighten me. My exact spec is an XKR 4.2 Supercharged Convertible year of manufacture 2007. This is therefore an X150 I can't find any info that says Jaguar changed the mirror covers on the X150 in 2010 yet the sellers all seem to indicate they have covers for X100's or covers for an X150 after 2010 the illustrations look the same as my car but I have learnt not to trust only absolute statements on the internet. Can any one tell me if the mirror sold as suitable for a 2010 XKR will fit my 2007 XKR.

Hi Jim, if you haven't already, you need to find and peruse the Jaguar Classic Parts website / catalogue. Whilst you are unlikely to be able to purchase many parts there, especially at the moment, you will find all of the parts numbers you need to second source what you need.

You will also find out what parts are model year or VIN specific. The link below was copied as I looked at the chrome mirror caps / covers for the X-150.

I also think you will find that the 2010 MY mirror caps include an indicator repeater, whilst the earlier cars do not include this feature.

This is the type you need for your car; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255593035828?chn=ps&_ul=GB&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&google_free_listing_action=view_item

the later type have cutouts on the bottom edge for the integrated repeater lamps.

Thanks guys I have the offending parts on order already, and the source of classic parts has been bookmarked. I have to say I am very impressed with the information that readily flows from this site. From my user name Spyderromeo you will guess I have been associated with other clubs for other mark some national, some international but I have never received such quality responses so quickly. Be proud!

For those interested my car in my user pic is myself at the end of the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans in a Porsche 550 Spyder replica not really a kit car (I use it as a trackday car).but one derived from one 50 years ago (not even made anymore) it had a fibreglass body actually moulded from an original Porsche and a space frame that was so good I knew original 550 owners who used parts from them for maintenance. I still own it and it and its Covered Race trailer, but I am not sure I would like to do many laps in one anymore. The Romeo bit in my user name comes from the fact that it is Alfa flat four powered with a 5 speed gearbox, limited slip diff, inboard brakes, etc.  

Thanks again.
