New guy to jags
ok here we go.... since im up for my first kid i decided to let my truck go and look into a four door car, and as you can see i preferred to stick with jags over anything else
. anyway i was reaserching the 03-05 Type S and the Type S-R, but since gas only seems to be going higher i opted for a white 05 3.0 so i was wondering if yall guys could answer a few questions for me. is there anyway you can get the same heaglights/ Front bumper/ navigation system/O.E.M. H.I.D. lighting system for headlights/ Fog lights and grill on a 05 Type S? pretty much a conversion for it lol.... anyway any type of help is grately appreciated thanx

RE: New guy to jags
I think you opted wrong. Not from a gas point of view per se, but the uphill battle you'll find trying to fit bits to your lower spec car.
A V8 Jag driven at 90kph gets 32mpg. Not to bad since the V8 thing throws you, it's only a 4.2. and a damn efficient one. Wasted gas is wasted gas, but the car still weighs the same and still needs the same fuel to move it.
I would have bought a V8 for the features and drive it economically. Well I did that actually. I keep my fuel computer loaded all the time on instant mpg and I learned a lot about how the car drives.
But back to your question, it will cost lots of dough and you'll be having the car apart on weekends. Plus you'll have more issues with the car since you customize it. Maybe just enjoy the car as it is? I resist the urge to airbox it, exhaust it and pop in fancy lights. The car runs great and treats me well. I fitted an aftermarket nav system and could not be happier.
Your username gives away that you might enjoy more mods than the next guy...maybe stick to rollin some nice 19s and a nav unit and makes the wife smile.

RE: cosworth
Ever seen a civic with cut springs? It's bouncy and has a hard ride. 22s on an S will rub with a wide tire and the ride is out the door. Plus the gearing goes off so much that it shifts sorta funny after that.
19s and wide looks good. But that's not the look you want so... 22s it is!

RE: cosworth
Go with 20's at most. You'll appreciate it, the car will appreciate and your wife's back will appreciate it.
As for adding the front end on the car I don't think it would be too difficult to change it up but you'll have to shop on ebay. I wouldn't look anywhere else but on there.
The stock navigation integrated into the dash would cost more than an aftermarket unit that can do more and the work involved wouldn't be worth it.
Getting the auto adjusting hids on the front end probably wouldn't be too much fun but certainly anything can be done with a little brainstorming.
