Has anyone attempted to remove the Jaguar decal from the black trim at the bottom of the front doors? I think they look like a cheap afterthought.
Also, I found this piece of black duct tape inside the left rear wheel well, and it looks like there’s some adhesive residue in the same spot of the right:
What are the last 5 digits of your VIN? You have an early edition dealer demo, you might just have such an early build that they slapped the Jaguar on as a tape before they had the proper part available. (Neither of mine have tape there, it's embedded plastic letters). Same logic for the duct tape
I agree with @sciencegeek
I've looked into possibly removing this and the HSE stickers on the side of my car and they were not taped on. They almost seemed like there was Clear coat over it
My I-Pace was built 88 vehicles before yours was built. Upon inspection of my car there should be a fastener similar to the one in the upper left of your photo about where the duct tape is located (maybe behind the duct tape). Needless to say the duct tape is not suppose to be there.
Vinsuz, I believe you have the option of dealer replacement of these JAGUAR & HSE parts on your vehicle under warranty. Some owners of cars had these stickers that faded with exposure to sunlight and had them replaced with new parts with molded-in lettering, there have been some forum reports of this.
I saw your other posting where you prefer the de-badged look. It should be possible to have these decals carefully peeled off without scratching the gloss black surface.
I was disappointed when my car arrived at the dealer with the molded JAGUAR on the doors after seeing a demo with the removable decals and I already planned to remove them from my car.
See your dealer for those missing plastic fasteners too, they are used on all JLRs vehicles.
The Jaguar rocker panel stickers were an early accomodation. I noticed them on the 'dealer demo' I-Pace I first saw in August 2018, asked about them, and was told it was an early "demo" adaptation. This turned out to be true: my delivered car, 4 months later in December, had the Jaguar emblem professionally "baked in" to the panel, no sticker. I still don't particularly like it. The I-Pace is the only Jaguar vehicle with branding on the side. I would remove it if it was a 'sticker' on my car. Had I known about the 'blackout' option, I would have taken it to remove that 'Jaguar' branding.
As for the duct tape, that's a head scratcher...
100% One of the first things I noticed when I looked at the I-Pace in person at the dealership, was the Jaguar script on the lower, side of the car. I love it. Mine is not a glue on sticker, but rather part of the strip. It looks amazing, I think!!!
Any chance one of you folks with the raised/molded "Jag" (and "HSE") in the rocker panels could post a close-up? I'm trying to decide whether I want to ask the dealer for the "correct" panels or just remove the stickers.

I got the gloss trim pieces wrapped in 3M 2080 carbon fiber black. The raised HSE is barely visible, but the Jaguar script looks pretty cool under the wrap.
Sorry for the dust on picture, but on mine, it seems a little bit easier to remove.... But no intention to do so.
Do you know why some have a cheap sticker, and some don't ?

I reached out to my dealer’s parts dept. to inquire about getting those panels replaced under warranty, but he said it might be a while before he hears back from Jaguar because the plant is working on a skeleton crew.
After a week of driving the I-Pace, here are some of my thoughts, for whatever their worth, on these two cars:
Build quality-
The Tesla build quality is legend, just not in a good way. Rattles, squeaks & suspension noise ruin what is an otherwise quiet cabin. Some noises are impossible to...
Nice day to wash the car and was looking at the rims. I have the 22 inch 5056 rims. These appear to have an aerodynamic shape. All 4 are the same which means on one side of the car they are oriented one way but on the other side they are the opposite. I was wondering if there should be...
Found an interesting deal on a well optioned S trim I-Pace, but I am curious about the look of the headlights and turn signals without the "Signature Daytime Running Lights". Anybody out there have a photo, video, or concise description of what the S trim looks like? Most (all) of the videos...
