Well, I'll start this story off with that I first had an '02 3.0 X-Type, but after getting the body kit fixed, mom got in a wreck and totaled it. I'll add the whole story at the bottom later on
Here is a picture of what it looked like:



Now, here is what the new jag looks like, after getting new wheels on it.
List of mods and things that have been or are going to be done to it will be at the bottom of this thread post.






Now for a list of things that I plan on doing to this pretty machine

Tell me what you think

 

Looks clean man!!! What kind of mesh grill you going with? I can't wait to get the lowering kit and exhaust put on my X. Keep up with the updates..

 

tell your mom she can't borrow my jag :+)

 

Nice...what kind of wheels are those on the blue jag?

 

I like it. Looks clean.

 

Gorgeous rides indeed , since you will tackle these jobs , don't forget a back up camera

 

Heading for the same upper and lower grill that are on the blue one

Yeahhhh, I don't even let her drive this one haha :P

Not sure :/ Everything on the blue jag came on it, it was gorgeous, keyword "was" :P

Not sure on the backup camera, but it's a good thought



On other notes, the touch screen will be a Pioneer hopefully, and I should be getting it within the next month or so. And the lowering kit will be here within the next month as well! - Is pumped. Will also post pictures of my new LED bulbs in the car such as in the mirrors, the dome light, the city lights, trunk, and footwells :P
Stay tuned everyone!

 

How do you plan to move the climate control unit down. I thought the same thing but can't imagine doing it without having to fabricate the whole fascia.

 

I'm having it professionally done within the next two weeks. I'm purchasing this touch unit, Amazon.com: Pioneer AVH-P4100DVD 7-Inch In-Dash Touchscreen Double-Din DVD Multimedia A/V Receiver: Electronics and i'm getting the HD Tuner for it as well, but I'm having a professional install it for me :P

 

Touch screen and satellite tuner have arrived, now it's just a matter of getting it into the shop to get installed. Also, finished purchasing the rest of my LED's for the interior, will post pics asap

 

Yes please, I can't wait to see how it turns out!

 

nice

 

Got my touch screen and my XM tuner in today! Going to have all the rest of my LEDs here tomorrow, then I will get the pictures of light updates.

 

Finished upgrading my lights on the inside to LEDs

Here are the results.

City lights (I think you guys call these DRLs but i'm not sure.)

Awesome shots, definitely good job

 

I love the look of the first X-Type you had. I LOVE the sport body kit with the chrome trim, I think it looks much much better than painted IMO! The white LEDs look much more modern! Nice job

 

nice job on both. i like the blue best

 

Yeah I love that X-type too, I'm striving to get the body kit for this one too.

I'm trying to make the white one look as close to the blue one as possible :P


Side note:
Ordered my HIDs last night, not sure when they'll be here, but hey, I bought em

 

Make sure to post pics when you get that body kit put on!

 

It will be a while, I can assure you that. I need to get a job and save up for that. It's quite a while away :P
