Hello everyone
this is my Jaguar X-type Sport,2003 year

 

Hi Fosquate, Super car, it looks in very original condition and very well looked after. I am in the UK and have a 2004 X-Type 2.5 SE auto. It is emerald green with a cream leather interior. I have only owned it for about 3 months and already love it. I will post some pictures when I have worked out how to do it.
Chris.

 

Nice detail! I love that you added the chrome grille to the sport model, too. It goes against everything Americans tend to like .

 

wood out-white carbon in

 

Call me crazy, but I actually kinda like it.

 

agree, its kinda crazy to cover up the wooden trim in the car with those carbon fiber sheets but they really look good.

 

He did great work, too. It isn't easy getting the edges and corners right, trust me.

 

One more pic

 

manual tranny!!!! gotta love it! good work

 

You gotta be a skillful person , those photos exude sheer pro

 

Looks sweet man. I'm a fan of the woodgrain myself. But that Carbon does look pretty sweet. I think the black accents it. Well done.

 

I think it looks really great with the black interior. It would not look good with a lighter intrior like mine. Great job all around though. Thanks for sharing.

 

Wow I thought my 03 was in good condition, yours is super, where did you get the carbon fiber and did it go over the wood or the did you take the wood off. If so how and was it easy? Welcome to our humble forum. I am the old man of the group, partially handicapped from a bad back and maybe cancer also. But other than that I feel great, as I have a Jaguar X.

 

Thanks for comments guys,i have 3 more things to update on car:

1: jaguar hood emblem
2:chrome mirrors covers
3: tinted windows


@ adam leub: carbon feaber you can buy on ebay,and it go on the wooden trim..and is not to easy to install

 

Update no.1 is on car waiting postman to bring me parts 2 i 3

 

Very nice car, well taken care of

 

wdit Where did you get those inserts. I found this weekend the piece around the instruments speedo, tach, has a crack I think in it, or it is a bad scratch. Anyway if it is cracked, I need to get a new piece, I google'd wood dashes and found a couple of suppliers but none had the correct color. I have a almost blonde wood trim on my car. First one I ever saw in that color. Shift knob is dark wood however? Any ideas or help would be appreciated. By the way if your leaper breaks and it will my son has a 15 minute CD on how to fix, This CD is to fix the leaper if it breaks off, the OEM is held together by a piece of string, or very cheap wire. My son fixed mine and it is better than factory for $5.00 US. To cover postage and copying from his computer. I like your dash look a lot.

 

Your car is absolutely, positively stunning.

 

For Adam... It is 3M Di-Noc vinyl. He opted for white, I (and I think gragner) opted for black. You need to remove your dash pieces and carefully apply with a heat gun and precision Exacto knife work (like upholstery).
