This is what I have done so far to my Jaguar, some may like and others will not but it's a choice that everyone is entitled to. I wiil also post a link to a Jaguar that some kid destroyed in my opinion.


This is what I am planning to do with my wheels....about to start this project. Taking my factory wheels and sending them off to be black chromed.


http://www.britishautowood.com, this is the site where I got my shifter knob from, but if you need wood restoration for any Jaguar, check him out.

 

Poor Jaguar

 

Is that black chrome on the xk above? I am a big fan of black chrome and it is $$$$ to do to a stock wheel.

 

Yes that's black chrome....200 dollars per wheel plus shipping. Getting it done through Calchrome. They did Jay Leno's corvette. It cheaper to do it that way then to find custom wheels that cost way more, besides I like the wheels already on the car, just not fond of the silver plus they are curb scratched from the previous owners. When I get them done, I will post a picture of them. Here is the web site if anyone is interested. CalChrome Photo: Jaguar S-Type, Chrome 2005-2008 18 inch R "Triton" Double 10 Spoke wheels., here is another black chrome wheel on a different jaguar.

 

This is a blue Range Rover with black chromed wheels

 

So far so good!

 

I also like the black chrome wheel. However I am not sure it will look good with a light color such as mine which is Zircon. Certainly looks good with your dark blue.

 

Also looking at doing this to the Frontend of my Jag

 

Front

 

This is my newest addition to my Jaguar, added aluminum pedals including foot rest. The old stuff was ford lol

 

Looks sharp!

 

Where can I purchase those floor mats ! My original ones are getting worn out and the pedals where can I purchase those as well?

Thanks

 

I have this coming to replace my cigarette lighter, check out my first post for the website, he restores wood from any year/type of Jaguars, has some cool pictures of old Jaguars on his site. I am also looking to change up my upper courtesy console look where the home link, lights and sun roof switches are located.

 

Ok, just put high temp stencil on my calipers

 

I have found a headliner for my car because it is stained and the back part has separated from the glue. The next two are what I am going with and I got them from this book.

 

Headliner, my car has a darker headliner than the pillars. This swatch compliments the Mocha interior including the piping in my seats and seat belts.

 

Pillars, my car has this color pillars right now but in a felt look, I am going with a leather grain look which matches the dash and door panels.
