Gotta agree that the ski racks do nuthin for the stunning car you have but I'm guessin they're there for a reason and not on when you don't need em

Very nice. You must have had the Arubas on before I am guessing. I have those on mine and they are hard to find used/rebuilt. Was just thinking of getting an extra just in case.

I see the snow in the pictures and I know what you mean about the potholes. Roads where I live are terrible now. Potholes appear by the hour.

I've always wondered what my car would look like with aftermarket wheels, since your car is a silver sport model just like mine.

They look good.

Very nice choice, Jaguardoc. Those ASAs are the kind that come with different colored inserts, aren't they? The black/silver theme compliments the rest of your car.

By the way, was your front bumper replaced? I notice you have the Sport Edition's side and rear bumpers, but the front bumper looks like it came off a normal X-Type. Just curious.

Nice observation, the bumper was not replaced. However i do live in MA. so in the winter time the front spoiler acts like a snow plow. I replaced it once in the first winter i had her, then the second time it cracked, i had it removed completely. I believe the car still looks great without it.

Yes those are the ASA with the inserts but with the black accents of the wheel and the color of the car none of the color inserts seemed to look right.

Gotta give a +1 on the previous comments, not too big, not too small and looks good on the x

watch out for those curbs

Personally, I think your car looks better now! I like the side and rear skirts that come with the sport package, but have never been a fan of the front bumper.

i can understand how the different colored inserts wouldn't look right with the black accents on your rims.

Your car looks great!
