Just thought I'd share a couple of pics of my car. 09 SC Lunar Grey w/Spice interior. I know that the leaper is not for everyone, but I love it and it grows on you.

 

Nice car! I like the exterior/interior color combo.

 

Looks very clean!

That orangy/brown interior color is my favorite.

 

I see more and more people putting the Leaper on the hood on the new Jags. In NJ alone I have seen at least 6 people do it just this year.
I am the opposite.I even remove the Leaper off the trunk as it looks ununiform and misaligned

 

Your car looks great, the vapor or lunar gray color is so nice on these cars.

 

Very nice looking. Can you tell me more about your fog lamps. Are they OEM or aftermarket. Also, do they actually illuminate the road as a proper fog lamp or do they just light up like christmas lights on Audis?

 

Thanks Rique,

This was discussed a little while ago on another thread with CA-Sport. They are actually DRLs not fog lights. So they don't light up the road like an ordinary fog light would. They are LED's like you would see on the Audis and Benzos. When they are on without the park or headlights, they are very bright. They get dimmer when you turn the parks and headlights on. I have mine hooked up to only come on when the other lights are on. Didn't want them to come on as soon as I start the car, which is what most DRL's do. They are not the Jaguar OEM blade. They are a very well made aftermarket set that can found on the UK sites. (JustJagsUK or Adamesh). Bumper removal is necessary to install these. There is no other way.

 

Nice car , I like that color

 

Nice car, and yes, we have the same drls. And even a leaper! Mine's piano black now, along with all my chrome.

 

Beautiful car - love the interior. Go to pick up my new XF tomorrow - 09 XF Premium, Ebony Exterior with a Leaper, Spice Interior, same wood, same everything as yours... gorgeous!

Enjoy your Jag!

 

Gotta say I love that color combo. First I've seen of the spice interior. Looks great.

 

Thanks Gator,

Yes the color combo was ordered that way from the factory. I kind of like the exclusivity of the combination.

 

Forgot to mention your outside color is beautiful. Grays and blacks are my favorite colors on the XF, kinda like your gray more than my black . I think the black is more executive looking (which I like) but the gray is certainly more casual and refined. Looks good.

Any mods planned?

 

+1 on the exterior color too. Although I'm partial to kingfisher blue , gray and silver on any model Jag look great, even kinda sinister at night , especially with tinted windows. Very classy.

 

Thanks Arlingtonman,

What you see is it. I tinted the windows. Added the blade DRL's and the green center caps for subtle contrast. I also added the S Badge on the front grill which I posted a picture of on one of my other threads titled "S Badge".
I don't like excess chrome and I believe the car as constituted has enough of that already. I'm not one for taped on/tacked on stuff. I love the Volans wheels and they are 20's so I'm cool with that. Personal opinion only. I'm not against what others do to their cars.

 

I'm not a silver fan. I test drove one - it didn't demand NEARLY as much attention as the dark grays or my ebony one I finally went with. I also really like the Radiance. At the end of the day, there isn't a single color that makes me look at the Jag and say "Wow, what were they thinking?" as they all have their pros and cons. I also debated the British Racing Green / Botanical Green, but as my current Camry is Spruce Mica, I didn't want people to think I got the same color again, though I have never received as many compliments on a car color as my spruce mica. I got that car merely for the color. I love it. Get compliments everywhere I go - it sparkles like nothing you've ever seen before.

Up here in PA, tinted windows are illegal (can't pass inspection if they're tinted) so that's out of the question for me.

Just googled kingfisher blue. Another gorgeous color. Never seen it before.

Here's a pic of my car taken a couple of weeks ago from my front porch.

Kingfisher Blue, or Jag code HFE, was an option on Jags in the 90s, not sure if available now.

The color looks green or blue depending on the light, but looks mostly green to me, thus the confusion on name for many.

My buddy from the the Bahamas, who worked on Jags on the island, says, "it's a British thing."
