Awesome BRG!!!

 

These are absolutely beautiful pictures of a beautiful car in a beautiful background. Anyone can see how, when an X308's appearance is optimized as to look and shine like new, there's nothing that later newer cars have on them. The X308 is a timeless design and will look this beautiful forever, no matter what new cars keep coming out.

As I'm writing this, my XJR is getting polished and wet/color-sanded to a concourse mirror finish in the fashion that my show-car XJS was done and I just can't wait 'til Friday when I pick it up. I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve...

Cheers,

 

Awesome car in a wonderful Pacific background. I'm down in Torrance and I have taken several pics of my XJS in similar fashion, up in a Palos Verdes cliff overlooking the ocean. I think that I'll be doing the same with my XJR now that it's getting a polish and wet-sanding job.

BTW, Earl Grey just happens to be my favorite tea... and BTW, how do you get an old fashion black CA license plate?

Cheers,

 

Thanks forced air. The CA black plates are part of the legacy plates the DMV released you can get personalized ones or just the number sequence that you already have

CA Legacy Plates

Cheers!!

 

Cool picture

 

Here is my Lizzie..

 

Nice shot Dimitris, shows off her smooth lines.

 

I agree, almost like a series III, very nice.

 

Absolutely beautiful photos of the best looking Jaguar ever made....not to mention the best color....and the best year from a totally unbiased owner of the exact same car, same color, same year !!!

Congratulations on your great taste in motorcars ! LOL

 

I have to thank my wife for these shots. I was away for a business trip and she knew how much "in love" I am with my Lizzie and sent me these to make better cause I had to park her out at the street for 10 days.

 

Yup, Eric, I was about to say exactly the same, only that I would add the Series II, as well. I used to own a '77 XJ12. Those curvy Jaguar hoods are very special and unique, very....Jaguar.

Cheers,

 

Car came a long way;

 

Sure has and lookin' good!

 

Amazing how much lower the body kit makes it look.

*looks at Arden sideskirts in the corner*
one day....

 

As long as I frequent this forum, I hear you talking about the Arden kit ... in your storage ... .

 

 

I like Eric and Pilotman's rides very much. But when Eric put that kit on it, it just set it off.
What I really like about everyone's ride here, its obvious they have a love for their vehicle and care for it very well....kudo's to all.

 

Thanks Highhorse!
Yes, we do love our rides, don't we?

The Glanz kit is still available, also separately (I remember Grandell only needing front and back or so).
Perhaps a solution for him.

There is also still a full kit available, not sure on quality, but rather cheap (less than 500usd plus plus).
?????JAGUAR?X??????????SET?? - ????!
This seems to be a copy of the Arden set (which my Glanz is not).

 

This set really looks great and something that would be a fun and not permanent addition to my car. Seeing as it seems to be coming from the home of all "cost effective" clone kits, I expect the quality to be a little shaky. Anyone know where to get this type of a kit in North America?


Eric

 

It is from Japan, not China, and I doubt they outsource them.

I further doubt you can buy them in the US, but you can place an order though a proxy, costs ~3-5%, they speak English and they will arrange everything for you.
Note, they list them as SWB skirts (2870mm wheelbase).
I see they also list the various parts loose (front, skirts, rear bumper).

I can set you up if you are really serious, but outside this Sexy 308 Picture thread.
