Established in 2010, Aori Auto Parts is a professional manufacturer of plastic exterior components for Land Rover and Jaguar vehicles, offering a product range of over 6,000 items, all manufactured to original equipment specifications. Jaguar F-TYPE parts are among the products we offer.
What is the Purpose of Jaguar F-TYPE Parts?
1. Restoring the vehicle's appearance after an accident
If the original exterior components are rendered unusable following a collision or a parking lot scrape, the vehicle's appearance can be restored by replacing them with the corresponding F-TYPE parts.
2. Maintaining the F-TYPE's sporty aesthetic
As a Jaguar sports car, the F-TYPE relies heavily on components such as bumpers, grilles, spoilers, and air deflectors to define its overall styling.
Replacing damaged components ensures the vehicle avoids issues like uneven panel gaps, misalignment, or distorted proportions.
3. Replacing aged or worn exterior trim
For vehicle refurbishment and cosmetic restoration, specific exterior parts can be replaced individually based on the extent of the damage.
4. Suitable for aftermarket repairs
Jaguar F-TYPE parts are ideal for procurement by professional repair shops, collision repair centers, auto parts wholesalers, and aftermarket distributors.
Inventory of frequently needed exterior parts (SKUs) can be stocked based on local repair demand for the F-TYPE model.

How We Package Jaguar F-TYPE Parts?
1. Inner Layer
All Jaguar F-TYPE parts are tightly wrapped in anti-static film or soft non-woven fabric.
For sharp edges, we apply additional foam corner protectors or corrugated cardboard strips to prevent punctures to the outer packaging or friction damage during transit.
2. Middle Layer
Critical stress points are wrapped in EPE foam or custom air-column bags to absorb vibrations and impacts during long-distance shipping.
For fragile items such as grille assemblies and headlight bezels, we use internal dividers to physically separate parts and prevent damage from stacking or compression.
3. Outer Layer
Small items: Packed in 5-layer reinforced corrugated cardboard boxes and wrapped in waterproof stretch film.
Large items: Custom wooden crates or frames are the preferred choice. If a customer specifies cardboard packaging, Aori Auto Parts installs rigid cardboard edge protectors on all six sides and wraps the exterior in multiple layers of waterproof stretch film.
FAQ
Q: Are exterior parts interchangeable between the pre-facelift and post-facelift (2020) models?
A: No, they are not interchangeable. The F-TYPE underwent a mid-cycle facelift in 2020; there are significant design differences in components such as the headlights, front bumper, and grille between the two versions.
Q: Is it complicated to replace parts like the front bumper or grille?
A: Replacing the front grille or grille surround requires removing the entire front bumper.
The process itself is not complex, but it involves a large number of screws and clips, so please allow sufficient time.
Q: What should I do if the parts get scratched or lose their luster?
A: Besides replacement, there are other solutions:
Use a plastic restorer: Products such as Autoglym Bumper and Trim Gel or Gtechniq C4.
Apply a wrap: Remove the trim panel and wrap it in a carbon-fiber-patterned film to conceal scratches.
Q: Can I send the primed parts directly to the paint shop?
A: Yes, they can be painted immediately. Before leaving the factory, our primed parts are coated with an OEM-grade protective primer that offers excellent adhesion.
Before painting, simply use a degreaser to remove surface dust and static electricity; you can then proceed directly to applying the topcoat and clear coat, mixed according to the vehicle's 17-digit VIN.
Q: Which SKUs do you keep in stock?
A: We maintain stock of over 6,000 established products; most mainstream F-TYPE exterior parts are available for immediate shipment.
For custom or newly molded parts, schedules are determined based on engineering assessments, and we provide real-time updates on production, quality inspection, and shipping milestones after the order is confirmed.
