A very warm welcome to you.
The chrome really stood out well against the colour of the car.

Too bad those unmentionables weren't caught and strung up by their unmentionables.

Good luck with getting her back on the road and just ask if you need any advice.

Welcome Hoya_loya
At least they didn't drop the Jag down on the rotors. Happened to me once. Once you start driving her again the soul will return.

welcome to the forum, bummer on the wheels but hope you get her back on the road soon. Plenty of info and support here.

You've already found the XK8/R section - pay attention to the first few threads with the how to's, downloads, etc

Be sure to check out the Mid Atlantic regional for local events/news:

Mid Atlantic - MD VA DC DE WV - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum

lastly - recommend adding a signature to your profile by clicking the user cp link in the upper left - include model and year for best responses to your questions

Enjoy

Welcome to the forum hoya_loya,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums. Sorry to hear about the wheels.

I can see you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR tech section so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Please 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 can also visit the US Mid Atlantic Region forum by following this link Mid Atlantic - MD VA DC DE WV - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
