We've selected 5 Jaguar-approved accessories that we think you should consider fitting to your Jaguar XK.

Car Ownership

In a bold change of events for us, we're not going to recommend that you change the wheels on your Jaguar XK. While we still believe this is the first step to personalize your car (and the one that makes the greatest difference), we just couldn't choose from the ten different wheels that are available for the Jaguar XK.

1. Carbon fibre mirror covers

The black weave is synonymous with performance and racing. Both lighter and stronger than steel, carbon fibre is the composite of choice for race cars and high-performance vehicles. These mirror caps will add a dash of race flair to your Jaguar XK.

2. Carbon fibre boot lid finisher

Complement your new carbon fibre mirror caps with an elegant and tasteful boot lid garnish, finished in the same exquisite black weave. This trim piece underscores the Jaguar emblem on the boot and is perfect for a light or dark colour car.

3. Bonnet louvres with chrome strakes

These dress-up pieces will add some texture to your bonnet and are finished off in chrome with the word 'Supercharged' embossed on the strakes. These pieces are only applicable to XKR and XKR-S models. Fitted the carbon fibre trim pieces? Then opt for the carbon fibre finish instead.

4. Sport pedals

It's now time to move inside and add a little wow-factor to the interior. These aluminium pedal add-ons feature rubber sections to ensure that they're not only aesthetically pleasing but functional as well.

5. Carbon fibre side vents

It's more carbon fibre goodness and this time it's along the flanks. These power vent pieces are crafted from the same high-quality carbon fibre as the mirror caps and boot garnish and are guaranteed to complete the look you're after.
