My fav web site for jag parts:
http://www.jaguarxp.com/jagxp/Xtype_Exterior_page.htm

They have everything for the jag...

The only other performance upgrade is the Arden ECU upgrade, set you back 1600 for 25-35 hp

No blacked out lights

just a word of caution to all you mod freaks out there...


the service from jaguarxp left me with a very bad taste in my mouth. it took them over a month (and 3 different excuses about shipping) to get my lower mesh grille to me. some others i have talked to have experienced the same thing. they did give me a partial refund for waiting for so long, but i would have rather had the grille sooner, even more so considering they charged me $12 to ship the grille in some cardboard that weighed under 1 pound.

you may have a better ecperience than i did, but knowledge is power.

shipping was only part of the problem. the part that set me off was the continual line of excuses.

i ordered the grille, and 2 weeks later i had nothing. called them, and the excuse was that they sent it out via USPS, but somehow they were able to get the package back after it had left their local post office due to some error. this in itself is practically impossible. a guy i work with in a bar is a mailman, and he told me once it leaves the local office the only way it will come back to the shipper is if the mailing address is not valid. there is no way to call and ask them to stop it mid-shipment. then i was told they sent one out via fedex and gave me a tracking number. the tracking number was never valid - it was the type where it only tells you that the shipper has notified fedex they are going to ship an item, not actually sent it out. a week later and nothing. another call, and this time the excuse was that the package was never picked up by fedex. a week later and the thing finally arrived. took 3 more weeks to have the credit they promised me actually credited back to my credit card.

not saying this will happen to anyone else who orders, but the exact same thing happened to someone who ordered parts from them. instead of a rebate, they offered him a liscense plate frame.

Nineball, did you order directly from the xp site or from there ebay store? I got my grill insert from there ebay store and it shipped and arrived no prob. I ordered on a friday and got it the next thursday.

Just wondering if there is a difference.

I like those arden lights but I don't. I think if I do anything to the rear end is save my 800-900 bucks (US) on those taillights and night shade the tail lights. I think if they were more flush and didn't have the indent where the actual light is I'd like em' more. But than again I like them too. Price sends me the other way though...I'll stick with the stock ones or spend that money on the complete ground effect kit! I think those tail lights look better from a distance vs. close up like in that picture on here. They look sweet on their website though.
