Default My 2000 Jag V8

Here she is, This is my Jag, a few mods included H&R lowering springs, 8000k HIDS, Upper Lower mesh grills, Chrome mirror covers and a few other things. Enjoy guys.



I just wanted to add also that painting the side repeaters and the calipers do give the car a nice feel. Do it It's worth it.

Thank You,

What would you recommend for additional HP? Does anything out there really work besides Nitrous? I thought about trading it in for the "R" but I love my car, I've had it for a while and it's been good to me. I will be upgrading the exhaust shortly, but i doubt I'll see a significant difference. Any ideas?

Really nice combo of accessories! Did you go with the chrome mirror covers or the ones that actually replace the painted portion? If you used the covers do they make a smooth transition with the body of the mirror? I'm trying to decide which ones to get.

Get the ones that replace the painted one. If you look, the painted ones are already almost sticking out from the mirror housing anyway.

I know you love your car bro.....but S-Type R is minimum 2003 model year and 4.2 Supercharged V8. You will never get your 2000 to match it.

The chrome on the mirrors are just covers and most people think it came out of the factory that way. i paid $80 off Fleabay for them and to be honest they look fantastic and fit like a glove. I think the biggest pain in the butt with these is just trying to keep them clean, I live in Florida and bugs here are a mess.

For about $500 I can add 150 shot of nitrous, but I'm not sure I want to do this to this car. This would probably be the best bang for the buck when it comes to adding HP. I haven't really started toying around with the engine but once I get going I'll match the power of the "R" and then some.

I wouldnt recommend nitrous unless you have the money to replace your chains and tensioners.

If you have the money go with Arden Exhaust in combination with Arden Catalytic Converters. It will give you a little bit more than 25hp...and change your air intake K&N is just fine.
But you can find good stuff on jaguarxp.com and check out the banners on the forum. You can get a lot from here. Check this site absolutemotoring.com
