I am preparing my MK2 for a JCNA event, and in a review of the JCNA MK2 Judging Guide, I see where it says that my wheel covers should be ''partially painted'' body color.
As my car has wheel covers, but not body colored, I am concerned.
Does anyone out there have a MK2 so painted? If, so, I would love to get a photo so that I will know what portion of my wheel covers should be painted and what part remains chrome.

I have some paint left, my intro British Field Meet is about 10 days out, the main JCNA meet first week of August.

Thanks!
 
I thought only the 2.4 or Daimler had the painted version. I would call the JCNA or your local club to verify as I've seen tons of MK2s at shows without the paint. I dismantled 2 MK2s and have the hubcaps and neither were painted. One was a 62 and the other a 64.
 
Well, mine is a 64 MK2 with 2.4L, no paint, and nobody else with a 2.4L or for that matter any MK2 has paint on their caps.

Thanks!
 
I've also parted out countless steel-wheel 3.4 sedans and MKII's and do not remember painted hub caps. I still have a pile of these hubcaps and none of them show any evidence of paint. FWIW.

Alan,
Would you have any idea if the Mk II wheel will fit on an XJS hub? I need five for my XK 120 replica. DO you know the offset and setback also?
 
I know an XJS alloy wheel will not fit a MKII hub. The bolt pattern is correct but the wheel hits the side rod. I'm not sure if it will work the other way around.
