You doin yours Buck?
Or thinkin bout it?

Jim

 

Hey Jim I'm with you no matter what on the black...if not black nothing shiny! Thats why we buy the sports is it not? Here's 04's x with both black...I was just trying to get you a pic with your car's color and the grill oh well...


This night pic kind of makes it all blend but I think it looks better than the regular silver mesh...

P.S.- You should probably click on the pic go to my web album and download the pic as with this pic you can't really tell that their is a mesh grill in there...

 

[:-]What's that ?
I didn't know you were Dart Vader

 

You go to my album? I painted 04's chrome pieces...and than messed with his rims and front mesh grilles...grilles look funny because the pics are at night and I painted them with adobe...look better if it were a day time shot of the car...

 

Black looks like part of the car is missing.I think I will add the stainless upper (retaining bodycoloured surround) and lower mesh to my wish list.The more I see them the more I like them.

 

I'm with you on retaining the bodycoloured surround Buck!

Jim

 

Yeah third on that one! Either way with the mesh the cars look better!!!

 

Problems problems!!!
I soo wanna do it but, I'm picking my rims up tomorrow ( 500 miles round trip )and they need some attention, tyres off refurbed like new an tyres back on ( no garage to do the work as I converted my garage to another bedroom[&:])
Leather dye arrived so interior needs attention too as well as caliper paint there ready to repaint calipers.....lol
Soon though.....Soon

Jim

 

Good luck with that workload Jim...dont forget the before and after pics

 

Jim, a bedroom in the garage??....most of us have to use the upstairs bedrooms for a bit or if we cant wait the kitchen[sm=smiley27.gif]but a bedroom in the garage...that would be handy
I'll add that to my wish list as wellbut after my HIDs , heated seat kit and chrome mesh grilles....priorities you know

 

I always liked the stainless mesh look on jags. If you get the XJ superv8, with the body chrome panels blacked from the factory, the grille is STILL chrome with stainless mesh...just looks classier.

 

I think chrome on bigger car helps the look though...I feel like our cars don't look that great with chrome because it is too much in a small area...although the blacks look alright with chrome I tend to not like any other color with the chrome sport for me...

Hey jim do a faq section on the seat conditioning your doing...mine is starting to show some wear and if I plan on getting rid of her I'd like to not have anything else to draw the value down on this car!

 

Chrome looks brill on darker colors like black .Let's see you have a white car and chrome will not look as shiny as it looks on a black color .

 

See what I can do Aquill. My leather badly needs attention, especially the drivers bolster thats worn.......needs freshened up.
God knows when I'll get round to it now winters near enough on us and I have 2 sets of rims to do as well as paint the calipers and the leather too....lol
I'll do my best as and when I get round to it bro, I promise

Jim

 

Hey Jim, have you ever painted your leather seats? I know I need to do so, since my leather has been worn from 104K miles of abuse, but I'm a skeptic of those painting products.

 

Biggie, painting the leather seats is like chasing ghost in dark .Eventually, after a certain amount of time ,the paint will go off

 

painting leather??? you mean all us lowly americans can have jags as cool as Buck!!??[sm=hail.gif]

 

Hey Biggie.......I have just ordered / received some Black dye which is a perfect colour match for my interior.
I am going to try it soon. I'll start with the drivers bolster which is showing signs of wear and see how it goes from there.
I'll let you know mate

Jim

 

Oooh I might be screwed than...I have the grey/gray leather and not black...[:@] I've seen these colors too bud a little skeptic perhaps on the outcome...

 

Well we'll see I guess.......I'll test a small area first where the wear is and see how we go from there
Hopefully it'll be good.
I'll let you know either way

Jim
