Default Pics of XF s/c before and after...

Here are a few pics of my XF: the 1st is when I was test driving.. the 2nd after wheels, tint and smoked out tail lights... and the last is after the Eibach lowering springs.
Springs look GREAT (in my opinion) and car still rides smooth and seems to handle just as well.

QUESTION - On your 3 pics, pic 1 & 2 look normal, BUT how did you get the gas fill door on the drivers side in the last pic?

I am not a fan of tints but you car don't look awkward because of its color

Looks good MoS. Can't see the front but have you gone or are you thinking of going with the black XFR grille? Blacking out the window trim? What's next. I love modding.

Hate to break it to you.. but yeah, even with Zaino.. My previous Jag was a Pacific Blue (dark blue) S-Type, and having never used anything but Zaino on it, swirls were still my worst nemesis..

New to me, my dark blue Vette has never had swirls so maybe its depends on the combo of their products thats used.

Thinking of painting the caliper a cobalt blue or something, not sure which color tho... Looking into the Mina cat back exhaust for a lil extra growl and POSSIBLE a 1.5lb pulley. Put 2 k&n air filters in it last night...

Unfortunately, can't see your pics since I'm new, so apologies in advance if you already have some of these. I saw a blog with pics of the XF 'Black Pack' mod kit. It looked pretty sweet.

"a factory-approved kit that includes 20-inch diamond-turned wheels, a gloss black grille and window surrounds, together with the Aerodynamic Pack consisting of a new front skirt, lower air intakes and 'muscular' side skirts."

Top Gear: Jaguar XF ‘Black Pack’ mod released

On a side note, I'm debating on whether or not to tint the windows on my indigo blue XF. I was thinking of a light tint but would appreciate input.

Colbalt blue would be a nice contrast. I'm thinking about caliper paint as well. Red is kinda overdone

Agreed on the red. I like this color suggestion, had not come to mind; also looking at yellow for black car.

Very sweet looking cars you have there folks.

I do like the blue calipers, they stand out, and to me are just that bit different from the norm.

Man of Steel, The murdered out look is sick! I have been looking into options - went to Jag and inquired about the black Kallimnos wheels too. I like the 20" Volans and don't want to part with it - Did you paint your wheels black or powdercoat it? I have been looking into both options - Powdercoat lasts longer than pain but i heard that the process weakens the wheel.

Any thoughts will be appreciated! Thanks!
