Hi all, Im new to this forum and im already loving it. I have an '03 jaguar and I have been looking for cheap/affordable parts for it for a while. It has been energy consuming too. I need the hood, radiator support, rightside headlights, upper grille and a fog light. I found a used hood for 375. Is that a good buy? And does anyone know of places(websites, companies, as such) where i can get these parts for real cheap?

 

i had a busted left headlight, and i got a new one from these guys for $350

You will have to remove the front bumper cover to do it, but that was fairly easy. I only partially removed it, one side at a time to get at the 4 bolts that hold the headlight. it's flexible, but i read that you have to be careful not to flex too much or is will seperate the layers (plastic from colored paint from clear overlay). the only hardish part was the one bolt up in the wheelwell on the sides. it took about 45 minutes to do. (the dealer wanted $1,000). One thing i did notice, these new ones dont seem to have the automatic leveller motors (the old ones shifted up/down when you turned them on, the new ones don't) - maybe thats why the dealer wanted so much. they are nice and bright (and they have the Xeon hi-beams) and i can live without the levelling.

After doing the left one, i did the right one too because the new one was a white light and the old ones were blueish, and i didnt want them mismatched. I offered the pair of old ones on Craigslist for $200, but no takers. (All the bulbs work, but the right one has a broken adjustment screw that causes it to flop around.)

As for other parts, ebay has an amazig amount of Jag parts for sale, i'm sure you can find whatever you need there.

THis place has LOTS of parts too: http://www2.partstrain.com/ i even found the windshield washer nozzle i needed there....
