Hi!

I have been some time without write here. You know I had problems with my HID upgrade because of broken tabs on the headlights... anyway finally I have bought and installed news headlights from Jaguar dealer (too expensive but the only good solution after all).

As you can see on pictures I have completed some changes since I received the car from my mother:

- I add the rear oval exhaust tips.

- I installed the white side repeaters.

- I installed the new headlights.

- I installed the HID upgrade and change all the bulbs.

- I checked and clean the cd changer that wasn´t working ok.

- I installed the upper and lower mesh grille (the lower glued to the bumper, I didn´t like the mounted system it included).

- I bought and "install" to use a new key.























And now, the next week, I have an appointment on the garage to re-paint it (the same green colour; it´s only to improve the look and the bright and fix somescratches)and I continue looking for some 18" wheels. I have also to apply the leather dye I have already bought, I will do it after received the car painted the next week.

I´m also thinking about the possibility of install the ACM (for iPOD), Parrot bluetooth phone kit... and I dream with Borla exhaust system or something like it and with a styling package but I suppose I will never install these things jejeje

Surely I will install some audio system (I´m a great car audio fan; I had a huge installation on my last car). I have some doubts about it and this time I will pay a professional installation but I don´t know just now what will I do exactly...

And I´d like to add the leaping cat to the bonnet but I´m afraid about stupid people could try to steal it and broke it and the bonnet... I don´t know what to do this way :-(

Well, this is my car. I have not showed it before here. I will add new images the next week when it´s re-painted.

Regards!

 

That'sa tremendous one ! ...I love you chrome stuffs as well as navi . I believe navi itself makes a huge difference

 

Alot of hard work paid off. New 18's will look really nice on that X. Add more pics after the paint job and any more improvements, ok?

 

Nice...

 

Nice looking X my Spaniard friend.

 

I got the mesh grill from jaguar and had it installed with the mounts but there is a small gap at the top. What did you use to glue it? can you take some close up pics of the grill? maybe i will glue mine!

 

Thanks everybody

bojangles I NEVER get snow where I live. I´m on Malaga, on the South and I live just in front of the beach. Here is always sunny.

About the lower grille I didn´t like the mounts and the screws, I thought it wasn´t too good to fit it and since first moment I prefered to glue it. I use several coats of a strong glue but it should be better to apply some BLACK silicone with a gun. Anyway my grille is strongly glued and I think (and hope) it will not be removed easily.

Here some pics (I used white glue and after I painted it carefully to be impossible to see nothing white from exterior). I put it on its position, I protected with tape and I glued the interior zone. After the neccesary time I applied another coat for several times. The more difficult point it´s to glue both grille extremes and there it´s bent so I used a glue gun for the exterior zone to be in the correct position and after, when the interior was strongly glued I was able to take off the glue from the exterior. I don´t know if I´m explaining it good [>:]Here some pics (I have not from all).

 

LikeI said, Nice..My X is set up same as your's, even the color..

I spent the summer of 1976 in Rota, Barcelonaand Palma (I absolutely loved Palma)..Did a little trip to Malaga and did a bull fight in Madridtoo..beautiful country mi amigo.

 

Nice X! I want the navi! Are you going to paint the chrome while your at it?

 

jejeje No; In principle I will preserve the chrome just like now. I like it on doors and the piece of trunk... but maybe chrome from front and rear bumpers could be dispensable but I don´t think it will look good been painted, do it? I don´t know... now you ask meit I have the doubt and I´ll have to think about it from now til nex Monday jejej

 

Lollaaaapozzzzaaaaaa !
Another chrome lover

 

Paint looks way better IMO...



You get some wheels and the chrome doesn't look bad but I'd still rather have paint!

 

Do you have some lots/shares on paint manufacturers ?

 

What? Sorry, I don´t understand well the meaning

 

Alot of money your spending on that jag .

 

jejej The more expensive until now has been the headlamps that was unexpected Therests of the current updates are only small details not so expensive. And still I have to find good wheels for it andthe paint the next week, nothing cheaper... But I hope it will worth the trouble after all when I complete the whole upgrades.

 

Nice Car

 

Yeah cadi you'd think I had stock in dupont or something wouldn't ya!

I wish I worked for them! I wish I could paint, that would be fun!
