Didn't ruin it at all. Looks great.

Camera could do with an upgrade!

Looks great! I just tinted the windows on my 96 VDP too and would love to get the upgraded wheels that came on the XJR 100 for it. Does anyone know if it's possibe to buy those and would they mount? I also thought about getting the mesh grill for it too in Kingfisher blue outline??

I've had easily 50 cars/trucks in my life. This car is the first ever to make me have to pick what iI want to take to work every morning. The car or my bike (the normal choice).

I've been meaning to take some, I will try to get to this weekend. I went with 35% tint as I didn't want to make it too dark but yet want to set it off. I think it came out perfect. Your wheels look great, and you've pushed me to go ahead and change mine. Are they hub centric or lug centric from the factory?
ps..we have the same question in the morning...do I take the low rider or the Jag?

Kongo, the wheels are 18x8.5 Coventry Hornets specially made for Jaguars. I got the 20 mm offset to make them fill the fender a lil more. Really cool because you can put your Jaguar center badges on the hub. Yokohama s-drive 245/40-18 z-rated tires. They handle great!

bad94flstn,

Thank you very much that is exactly the info I was looking for! I wanted a wider wheel and tire set up but didn't want a universal bolt pattern if the stock turbine wheels are hub centric. I love the way the wider wheels look on the XJR and I think it makes the longer wheel base look a little sportier. Your car is exactly what I've pictured in my mind. Now if I can find the mesh grill and a wooden shift knob I'll be golden!
Thanks again.
