Default Where can I get some Engine 'Bling' Parts in the UK

Hi

When I get my engine clean, I want to 'Bling' it up, with Colored Hoses and all that kind of Stuff.

Anyone know any suppliers in the South near somewhere like Essex or maybe Suffolk (UK)

You're jealous aren't you!
I did stumble across a website yesterday but can't remember what it was called; I'm at work at the moment (0400, bummer) but I saved it to favourites on my laptop so I'll look later.
There are loads out there if just search custom car bits.

Wrong! I am not jealous, I am Green with envy!

I've got the same engine as everyone else but mine doesn't look anywhere near as good. Not yet! but it will do one day, as at the mo I'm too busy driving to do any work on it.

As I want to make the most of the Summer, which as you know only lasts for a matter of days in the UK.

And then I've got to fit some new rear rotors and a new exhaust system, then finish putting the radiator in my other XJS.

Then concentrate on my hobby of buying Petrol, as well as earning the money to pay for it!

You would be broke from buying fuel if you lived in the "Sunshine State". It only rains here on Christmas eve(lol)

Oh no! That's really 'jarred me off!'

I was just about to go out this 'avro' as I think you say in 'OZ' and the drivers window decided not to go down.

While the passenger side works OK, so would I be wrong in thinking it may be the 'Switch'?

But the Jaguar Gods were with me, as the moment I put the Hood Down it chucked it down with rain before we went out.

So Trip Cancelled until further notice.

Hi Jim

Thanks, I will give them a look in due course, I'm sure they will have some stuff for the XJS.
