Smile New Fr GA

Yo,
New to the Jaguar line of vehicles but always admired them from afar.
Just recently purchased a 2004 Jaguar X-TYPE 3.0 (LOVE the AWD BTW!!!) red with white interior. Immediate plans are cold air intake, cross drilled rotors F only and tint (the illegal kind). Later on down the line possibly some TSW Snetterton Hypersilver or Coventry Whitley Hypersilver wheels and either some coil overs or lowering springs.

Welcome to the forum.

As you are going to do quite a lot of work on the car, it will be worth taking off the outer, (plastic) sills and cure any corrosion that lies behind, if you're going to keep the car some time.

Hello and welcome,

Make sure to leave plenty of driving time in between all the upgrades.

Thanks for the advice GGG and I will as I just changed the air intake filter (don't know what the history of the old one was) last Thursday and this morning I noticed a little more throttle response. I figure a month or two between major mods.
