Default Alec's Super V8

Here are some updated photos of my 2003 Super V8, which I purchased over 2 years ago from Beavis/Hercules on the forum. Since then, lots of upgrades/changes have been carried out.

I will let the pictures do the talking, as there are too many to remember them all, so here are the main ones
Wheels and new exhuast, exterior detailed, new side skirts:








Engine bay dress-up:




Alcantara (Suede Cloth) Headliner, pillars & sunvisors, in black:




Picnic tables, split rear memory seats and custom Jaguar cushions:




Lambswool mats and F-type pedals




I was very pleased to win best modern Jaguar Saloon in our local Jaguar Club:





Youtube video of exhaust sound:

Looks good. Where did you find the Portfolio vents and how did you retrofit them?

Edit: Nevermind, I found your old posts about them.

Looks awesome Alec!

Did you fit the roof lining yourself? How hard was it to remove & install?

Any tricks or suggestions? The JTIS says remove the back window LOL

Cheers Guys!

Cambo, did it all myself, the headliner was done through the rear door, as documented by someone else on the forum. Very scary though, as the board took some twisting to get it to come through, probably better taking glass out!
