# π Protint β Premium Detailing & Protection for Jaguar F-PACE
## ποΈ A Special Note for Jaguar F-PACE Owners
The **Jaguar F-PACE** is a masterpiece of British performance SUV engineering. It's the perfect fusion of sports car dynamics, luxury SUV practicality, and head-turning design. As Jaguar's first-ever SUV, launched in 2016, the F-PACE has become the brand's best-selling model globally, combining the soul of an F-TYPE sports car with the utility of a family-friendly crossover. With its muscular haunches, distinctive Jaguar front grille, sweeping roofline, and available 22-inch wheels, the F-PACE is built for driving enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on style, performance, or practicality.
The 2024 F-PACE SVR features the legendary 5.0L Supercharged V8 producing 542 bhp, while the P400 model offers a 3.0L inline-6 with mild-hybrid assistance delivering 395 bhp . At **Protint**, we understand that F-PACE owners value:
- **Performance pedigree** β protection that doesn't weigh down the sporty dynamics
- **Commanding presence** β keeping that stunning paintwork flawless
- **Adventure readiness** β PPF that can handle highway stone chips AND light off-road scratches
- **Luxury preservation** β protecting the beautifully appointed cabin
- **Resale value retention** β a well-protected F-PACE holds its value exceptionally well
> **β οΈ Important Note on Indian Legal Compliance**: As per the Supreme Court ruling of 2012, **aftermarket sun films are effectively illegal in India** for most vehicles. However, high-end imported cars like the Jaguar F-PACE that come with **factory-fitted tinted glass** are exempt from the ban, as confirmed by the Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic) in Bengaluru . Rule 100 of the Central Motor Vehicles Act, 1989 stipulates 70% visibility for windscreens and 50% for side windows . For vehicles without factory tint, we recommend **removable mesh sunshades** which are legal for use while parked .
