XKR 2003 bonnet Growler

Postby paul463 » Sun Aug 11, 2019 11:24 am

Can anyone confirm what colour bonnet growler badge should be on 2003 XKR convertible in blue.
Nose cone was damaged at the garage and when the body shop stripped back to repair and repaint they found five layers of paint and the growler badge with supercharged was damaged when removing. The one on the car was green and I see there are red versions which is the right one?
And where do I get one from as Jaguar has no stock.

2003 MY XKRs had a silver growler head on a green background (source: You & your XK/XKR by Nigel Thorley). Finding a genuine badge probably means trawling eBay or contacting a breaker. Mike.

Thanks Mike.
Alan from JEC also told me:
According to the information I have it depends on the VIN
Up to VIN A30644 the Bonnet Badge is Red behind the Growler (Part No. C2N1991) (to MY2003)
From VIN A30645 the Badge is Green behind the Growler (Part No. C2N3703) (from & incl MY2003)
Both have the word SUPERCHARGED on the bottom.

Maybe not a coincidence that A30645 marked the introduction of the first 4.2 litre engine? :D

No coincidence. That's the start of the 2003 model year. Mike.
