Hey everyone. Just thought I'd introduce myself instead of immediately going to the tech section as I normally do. I picked up an X-type a few months back to use as my d&d...so far, I'm pretty happy with it minus a few little annoyances (hence trolling the tech pages).

2002 Jaguar X-Type 2.5L

So far I've added/bought the following:

Mina grill (upper and lower)
Cygnus 18" rims
Mina front fascia
Mina eyelids
Mudflaps (colored to match)
Mina exhaust tips (not installed yet)
H&R lowering springs (not installed yet)
Mina Chrome a-pillars
Mina Chrome handles
Arden Chrome side mirror covers
35% black tint wrapped w/eyebrow
Mina Clear side lenses (6)
Mina Growler grille
Mina Boot spoiler

Pioneer AppRadio 2
Pioneer 4 way amp
Pioneer 12" sub
Pioneer 6.5" speakers (4)
Pioneer headrest monitors
Pioneer backup camera

So, I've spent a little to make it more my style. Pic below and yes, it is quite dirty. Rims are off because the stock 245-45-18 tires are WAY too big for it.







Also own these toys and had to throw em up here...

Welcome to the forum carpenterltd,

I see you've already found your way to the X-Type tech section so no need for a link from me.

You have been busy with the upgrades. Definitely calls for some pics.

Remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You may also like to visit the US Mid West Region section by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/mid-west-us-il-ia-mi-mn-mo-oh-wi-39/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forum.

Graham
