Nice!. My Portfolio has the Selenas and I've been wanting to get a set of those for the same reason. Where did you find them?

We've got the same car including interior and Florida plates.... except now our wheels are different.

Hi - I’d been looking at several sets of refurbished Takobas on eBay, but by some stroke of luck a set of new take-offs showed up on eBay one morning so I snapped them up! They were in pristine condition which was great. I feel they really updated the look of the car.

Yes, I believe we were looking for cars about the same time! And we didn’t want a black interior! How’s it going with yours?

I've got the 20" Nevis wheels, didn't like them at first, but they suit the car perfectly and I am now a fan. I had 3M protective film on all sheet metal forward of windshield that I removed. The paint underneath is perfect...like showroom. Had to redo the headliner as Florida sun must have baked the foam liner. Surprised because it's only got 20100 miles and has been mostly garaged as far as I know. Otherwise, the cat is running great and I like it better than the first day I drove it. gordo

Just bought #2... There are some significant differences between 2009 and 2011.

Nice pair!
But yeah, I would hope there are differences between a 4.2L NA XK and a 5.0L SC XKR, like about 210 hp!

I started this thread just over three years ago with a photo of my 2007 XK 4.2 Coupe. This has now been replaced with a 2014 XK 5.0 Signature Coupe.

I hope this one is as reliable as the previous XK. The only items requiring attention other than scheduled servicing in the four years I owned it were a replacement RHR Upper Wishbone with a squeaking bush, a failed Pedestrian Impact Sensor and a Centre Heatshield.
