Default Picked up my STR today

Oh my god it is awsome!!! My first Jag and I'm well impressed. Performance - crazy I love it.
Forgot about my S500 already.
Went through paper work quick,it was tuned by company called ARDEN - body kit, performance pack, exhaust. Some of papers are missing but can called them up and see exactly what was done,costs,etc - get copies of everything.
Fixed the headlight today using screw method-awsome trick, 5 minute job. Got a park light bulb stuck inside the head light "bump" -will be a hard one to remove.
Will need to get it checked over at Jaguar-my mate is a mechanic down there so will take care of me (staff discount on service ). From this years MOT is has a play in left front bearing-will deal with that asap.
Will keep this post going. Some nice pics will come tommmorow as it is raining badly today.
I love my STR need to say it again

Welcome Borys,

Great forum here, you will find lots of support and advice..... nice car, mine has Arden mats, badging, pedal set, gear knob, love the Arden bits and bobs.

I am currently playing around and modifiying and no doubt the bug will bite you, just keep a slush fund aside for her and you will have a great time...

The rear bumper with the quad exhaust is very slick, made me do a double take for sure. Car looks great, would love to hear more about your performance mods (dyno, 1/4 mile, vidoes?). I recommend VHT'ing your side markers like I did on my car (same color), it will look great.

What are those things between the headlights?

Headlight washers. Not an option for the American buyers, Canadian and Europian markets only.
