Default XF 09 Need suggestions and help on mods

Hey guys I was told to put this in the XF forum because I'd get more answers I was silly enough to ask my question in the introduction forums. If any of you guys can help me out with this decision that would be great! Recently received the car, it was inheritance from my uncle, I'm planning on really investing some time and money into this car. I copy and pasted this, I am not trying to spam which is why I'm saying this.

I really wanted to put a kit on this car, my friend suggested this site bodykits.org cause he got a mad good discount, when it comes to body kits guys I'm not the one to know too much I just want it to look cool, ha. So I checked out that site they had this one kit and I thought it looked "fresh" (<--- don't know how old most of you are ) - Jaguar XF 2008-2010 - Body Kits - Full Body Kit. (- Jaguar XF 2008-2010 - Body Kits - Full Body Kit) First I'd like to know what you think about it, 2nd do you think there is a better kit? and should I try doing this with a friend (who is very knowledgeable about car stereos but I'm not sure kits, or should I get it professionally done?) These guys from the sites were pretty cool when I called them and said that it's up to me to make the decision which I really appreciated not getting the product shoved down my throat if y'all know what I mean. Any who if you guys could post some replies tell me what you think I should do.

Well... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ... I believe that the Arden kit is better looking but also a bigger ding in the wallet ...

Also everybody has a view, so if you like something go for it. I am usually not a fan of kits for cars like Jaguar, though i like minor mods.

We have an Arden vendor at the site

FIERCESPEED , prices are high but if you like to keep your ride long term and money is no concern Arden is the way to go

Don't see how whether you have an SC is relevant at all. Anyhow, I'm generally not a fan of body kits on any car but the one you posted is at least relatively conservative. The Arden kit is more over the top if that's what you want but at $10-14k is overpriced like all Arden pieces seem to be.

Pretty sure the XF in this video - Jaguar XF w/ 22″ Monoleggera Spacco - has the kit you posted. If your dead-set on a kit, a professional install is likely worth it.

Here's another one - This is at adamesh in UK but they ship worldwide and shipping is pretty reasonable. Pretty good looking kit at $2600.

jaguar body styling | jaguar xf body kit | genuine body kit

Yeah, the Loder1899 kit is another option but has always looked a little more tacked on than the others for some reason to me. It's also just a front bumper cover and diffuser basically.
