Same as White Bear I have 19" Coventry Whitley's in hyper silver

 

Beautiful coupe !! Going to be next on my list I think.

 

CRHINO,
I see you named your coupe Lola. That puts me in mind of what many consider the most beautiful racing coupe ever built. No real competitor to its contemporaries, the GT 40 or the legendary Porsche 917, but perhaps like the XK8, what it lacked in performance it made up in design.
The Lola T70 Mkiii.


Regards,

 

Well said (about design) and a beautiful car ...though she's not my Lola !! Form is more important than function to those that appreciate art !!

 

I would like a convertible but have no room in the garage and wouldn't have the heart to have a rag top constantly getting rained/snowed on!!

 

Mine doesn't see any snow so sometimes rain. Its awfully nice to have that top down and driving. A whole new feeling. Having said that I love the lines of the coupe and hope to pick one up as soon as my wife is prepared to move from second to third place !!

 

I fell in love with the lines of the coupe. Good luck searching for one!! You won't regret it

 

Next year! Start searching for 2004-2005 XKR Coupe. Wont be in any rush so will take the time to find the right one.

 

Front: 'Aris' Rear: 'Donut'.

 

Still a beauty even with a donut !! That seafrost is a great colour.

 

20" BBS Montreal, factory standard on the 100 Edition.

 

I went in al little different direction....

 

Amazing just how different the rims make the two coupes above look !! Both beautiful cars but very different looks for sure.

 

Detroit.

9X20 inches on the front, and 10X20 inches on the rear.

 

Prettyblue fin your car is perfect. Those wheels really look great with the silver.

 

thank you!
Everyday, I get so much joy out of driving her...I chose getting this car over a trip to Europe...again, I know the right choice was made.

Good luck on your search for a coupe. They are getting difficult to find for the 2003-2005 years.

 

My wife destroyed 3 wheels and I lost a complete set twice due to road hazards. If you own one of these low profile setups it's just a matter of time. Fortunately we own a used parts business so I can find replacements fairly easily! Repairing them is an art, though. Balance is critical and finish can be fussy but it is possible to come out the other side with a nice set of factory wheels without paying ungodly amounts of money.

 

They are indeed but patience will pay off and I have my XK8 which brings me as much pleasure as your XKR does for you. Of course I am in the snow belt and my Lola has been under cover in the garage for months now. Just patiently waiting for April !!

 

20" split rim BBS Montreal with chrome/steel additional rims on top.

 

yes, I am aware, and drive 1 mph over bumps, humps, railroad tracks etc
I have a separate insurance rider for the rims, they were $6,000 original to the XKR, and not cheap to replace if damaged.
