I still think Jaguar was somewhat inspired by the arden ground effects for the last X100 facelift. Jaguar cleaned it up a bit but side by side at car events it's really obvious. With all the aftermarket affordable kits similar to the arden, it's not too expensive to update the older models. And the rear bumper witht eh lower valance really looks great too.
IMO, I think the X100 arden kit is one of their more successful. More subtle.

Well, so those are the hosee you're having issues with. Very interesting. I bought the same ones and have had nothing but trouble since installed. I'm actually going back to the factory hoses this spring. Every few weeks another starts to weep and if we tighten much more, it's going to start causing damage.

I love my 2000 XKR.
at 88K miles, it needs new filters, hoses or sensors from time to time, but I have a good shop and an Avalanche that rarely needs anything. My Jag is not 'twitchy' to driver, rides smoothly, is comfortable, and goes like hell. I don't plan to ever sell it, and hope to leave it to a neice or nephew (he already has an XK8 coupe). I am drooling over a friend's 1972 XKE coupe, black on black, chrome wires, V-12, runs strong, shines 'like a diamond in a goat's ***' (if you never worked on construction...) but I am out of garage space (MG-TD and several cycles) and wonder if I'll use it enough.

Love those coupes! Nice color and the wheels look much better than the stock ones. The early wheels were never my favorite.
What I can see of the interior says it is probably not original, but the piping to match the exterior color works very well.
Congratulations and welcome to the world of fine driving.

Hey, really nice car! I usually don't like lambo doors but that one looks sweet with them!! Usually lambo doors come with a car that have tons of bad mods but somehow, with yours being classic factory for the most part, they kinda work!!!
