Default Jaguar S-Type R with Nitrous

I don't generally tell anyone what to do with their money, but I think this project was pretty misguided. I will say that while Ian thinks the paint is obnoxious, I kind of like it, but agree that it looks like a pretty bad respray... And adding nitrous just seems like asking for trouble. I wonder if he's even going to get to unload this...

That colour which is used on the 2018 Ford Focus RS is an edgy colour on the RS. But on an S-type, to me it says mutton dressed as lamb.
It goes from being edgy to looking naff.

It does look great on the RS! If I were going to get one of those, that'd absolutely be my first choice.

I prefer the "asbo orange" colour on the older ST model.

I'm trying to remember when either the old TG or 5th Gear did an item of making fast accelerating cars and fitted NOS to an old XJS or similar?
