I'm driving a 2005 XKR- Pacific Blue with parchment, convertible. All mtce. done by Jag. At Road America in Elkhart Lakes, WI in the open vintage race I saw a couple other Jags with racing stripe pairs going down the middle and a contrasting color going diagonally across the bonnet. Is this a typical race scheme for a Jag? If so, I'll consider painting the stripes on. Secondly, I need a new growler emblem on my front bumper. I bought one from Jag for $160.00. They are telling me it costs $250 to install it because you need to take the front bumper completely off. Can that possibly be true?

Do you have a pic of the paintjob you have in mind?
Sometimes what looks good on the track doesn't transfer well to the road.

If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

I'll try to affix the picture of the silver XK8 with the green stripes going lengthwise on top and the two red stripes on the left fender.

 

It all comes down to personal taste but for me it detracts from the the lines of the car.

Those red flashes look familiar. Think there was a pic posted a few months ago with a similar addition and detailing performance mods.
