Hi all,

Im just contemplating upgrading my 2003 Super v8 to look a little more modern. I already have a 358 XJR, and love the more modern look and since my car only has 47k on the clock i'm going to be keeping it several more years. I realise this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but personally I love the more muscular haunches of the facelift. So, i've been looking at the black bison upgrade and got a price list from them yesterday !
After I'd recovered from the shock im still interested, but havent quite decided on this or a standard x358 upgrade. If anyone has any 358 parts for the upgrade please feel free to get in contact. - I've researched the changes quite thoroughly, and feel fairly confident in the ugrade thanks to Dave's fantasic 'how to' on this forum.

My real question after all the above waffle, concerns wheels. I have the gorgeous Callisto wheels on my XJR which im tempted to put on the upgraded super v8, but I also love the Orona wheels off the x351, and reckon these would look fantastic with the Black Bison bodykit. Question is (and i've tried finding this) is will the 351 wheels fit the x350 with no modifications?

Thanks anyone for your help in advance.

 

Hello again,

Well after looking a little more at the figures from Wald i've decided they are just too expensive. I've attached there pricelist for your amusement, but essentially their base kit is £4900 +vat +shipping and doesnt even then include paint and fitting! So i've kicked that idea into touch!

I'm definitely moving into the facelift conversion area now, so i've started sourcing bits for the upgrade. If you have anything for sale I will need please let me know.

Still undecided on the wheels though. As much as I like my 'prestige alloys' I much prefer the look of the 20" wheels. After a bit of further research I found the standard XJR wheels are 20" 9J's. The front Orona's are the same size so I assume its just the offset I then need to worry about? Any idea how I find that out? (Ebay doesnt sound like a very good source).
