Her name is Blacky and she's a whole lot of woman! I just had the windshield replaced ($1,800), so you'll still notice a crack in these pictures.

Nice lookin' car! I always wondered how the XKR rims looked on an XJ

Thanks DMFleming79! Before I put them on I was a little worried they'd be too big, but I actually love it. The stock wheels do looks great, but with the added XJR grille and these Jaguar XK8 rims I feel it gives the car a real sporty look. I absolutely love the Vanden Plas interior.

Looks great.

The rims suit the XJ8 much better than they ever did the XK8. VDP interiors always were way, way better than standard trim.

gorgeous car.

Gorgeous, indeed

Yeah, wow on the interior, that is all.

Here's a side profile from summer, and one from today!

theres just something about that X308 body. I love it even more than my X351....wanna trade? lol

and i love even more the layout of the interior

Wonder why I like that so much............



............... now I remember.

Another one of those I wish I'd kept.

I agree the X308 has a beautiful body. It looks like such a well built, delicate car. I feel they went the wrong direction in 2004 with the redesigned XJ's...but they did get better in 2008/09.

i wouldnt call it wrong direction....the X350 was a nice modernization of the X308...there were a few things they could have done a little differently.

problem was the designers at the time were stuck in trying to keep the same design flow....they were stuck in the past.
