So I investigated further, and 1) I was surprised how easily the headlight rims come off, and 2) how dirty they were!
All it takes is to press the headlight rim back slightly, then insert a small screwdriver under the top tang and leverage it up until it clears the clip and the rim basically pops out. To refit simply press into place until the tang drops into its slot. I removed the rims and gave them a cleaning and polish with Solvol Autosol, my favorite metal/chrome cleaner. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Autosol-7...CABEgJZ0PD_BwE Quite a dramatic improvement! No need for any re-chroming, just needed a good clean!

Wonderful! I like this red paint so much. I wish I'd found my Daimler (Sapphire Blue) in that color. |
Now that is a perfect pic of a perfectly looking car

Recently acquired 2002 XJR
My recently acquired 2002 XJR. Previous owners were Florida snowbirds, so the car was stored in their garage during the hot months. 38,000 miles. The chrome grill surround was reportedly special ordered by the original purchaser. Another Quartz Dark Gray car.

XJR in her dancing shoes....
So, after many months of work, and getting ready for the British Display Day, that also included the JDCA Display Day, she got 3rs in the D'Splay Class, behind a D-Type replica....
Loving it. Lyndon https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...e2cddf4bfc.jpg |

There are a number of threads on this (one I made many years ago)....mainly titled Brembo or Brake Upgrade just follow it with x308 to get specific results. Thing is they are near impossible to obtain because they were only available a couple of years and mainly on XKR's. I've been looking for a set for years that didn't cost an arm and a leg. I'm going to go with a set of S-Type R's (already have them)...I need to modify the the mounting points. |
I scored a brand new autoart silver x308 xjr on eBay. My silver x308 is a sport. But they'll make for some funny pics this weekend lol.

She's back clean for weekend gallivanting lol. Impromptu beauty shots.

The end of a beautiful, almost-Fall Sunday, and as the sun showed signs of setting, and I sipped on a cold beer, I couldn't help but admire the lines of these X308s and took a pic. Classic style! . |
