Now I'll start... Riski, have you checked to see if Jaguar offered a body kit for the R in 03? Might be easier than changing almost the whole nose of the car...

Yeah I'm curious about this kit. I would love to see what the individual pieces look like, as the front doesn't make sense to me. What year's' is this SUPPOSED to fit?
I do like the rear diffuser piece, kind of cool touch.

I'm very close to Mina actually went there to pick up my Stainless lower grill inserts, if they have one in stock I could check it out for you guys if needed.

Whats Mina's actual shop look like, big, fancy place? I personally wouldn't be intot he front kit, but your right, the rear diffuser does look very sweet.

This is what the final design of bumper looks like on my '03. If this one fits so will the XS version. None of it was bolted in place so it would mean some slight adjustment but the fit on the fenders is perfect which means that the fenders have never changed. You can see that the bolt positions either side of the lights are identical. As I said in the other thread you'll also need the later hood, grill and undertray.

Holy crap! Great pictures.... I've always known all that was different with the 05 refresh..God knows I've regurgitated it here many times. But the hood and bumper differences always looked real minor to me...Wow, they actually changed it a lot! You couldn't squeeze the newer bumper without the grill and hood if you wanted to..

Amazing pics.. great reference..

Arden also makes a cool rear diffuser for our cars but I cant seem to find a great picture of it. Seems to simply fit into the black lower plastic portion of our bumper

Mina seems to have two locations, I picked up my Grill at the local LA spot that they fabricate, so more of workshop than a showroom. The guy Chris who seems to run it said depending on what the inventory is they also have another location north of Los Angeles.

Hey redzed. This one is for you.
This should fit your bumper swap needs & let you keep your foglights.

I am going to start sourcing a hood, grill and belly pan so that I can put it on my 2003 STR. I am thinking of painting the car a dark charcoal grey....
