Default Time to stop lurking

I've been lurking on this forum for a long time (5months) and I thought I should finally sign up.

I have a 2009 Jaguar XF SV8 and I live in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

I've attached a few pictures of my car.

Modifications so far;

1. Painted Rims Black
2. Spires Exhaust
3. Chip/ECU Tuning



I look forward to becoming a regular/active member of this forum.

Thanks all!

Welcome Cybix,

Like the XF but think you may have problems keeping the paint on those wheels.

I see you don't have too much traffic congestion the the UAE.

Traffic is really sucky here at times, you can be stuck in it for hours.

Further to that, everyone is inconsiderate, no matter were you park, you will get a door dent, I got a nice large door dent the day I got my car.

I find it hard to make sure I don't curb my rims, accidently hit it the other day, scuffed a bit of paint off but not noticably.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Hi Cybix, welcome to Jaguarforums, good to have you here with us

Nice ride and thanks for the pics.
I was in The UAE a few years ago on business, Dubai is an amazing site, especially at night, but when I was there during Ramadan the heat was so intense......I'm thinking the tint is pretty much a no brainer...lol

Welcome to the forum,

Good to have you with us.
A door dent on the first day would be a real sickener.

You should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.
