Default Painted Wheels on 04 X-type Sport

Hey guys been working on my car throughout the summer with small stuff here and there. Finally got my wheels painted like I wanted too and got my new hood liner put on. Next up is the grill and some painiting touch-ups. Then hopefully a lowering kit and a new exhaust.

Have a great day everyone!

Looks great, thanks for sharing. Those hood liners look the mutts nutts
The wheels look good too, make it kinda more aggresive looking

I just kept the hood on the car. Took the opportunity to degrease the engine compartment and underneath the hood real good. After that I just got a couple of the supports put in place and then just sprayed it down on the back end and pressed it to fit. It was really easy to do!

Thanks for the good words guys I was trying to do something a little different. More updates to come soon.

Beautiful, I wanted a silver jag, but I've had a blue one and a white one, very content with the white though!
Quick question, where did you get your hood liner? Thanks

Nice looking wheels. I wonder if you can find Jaguar wheel caps to finish it off.

Personally I like e contrast in the wheel and rat of the car. Hood liner is something I might consider as well

Hey man, did you paint the chrome trimmings yourself? Because thatsunami what I'm thinking to do.
