hi everyone after a lot of time and money my xjr has come to this and i do smile its my pride and joy, its not a 02 reg its a V FEB 2000 model hope you guys like it thanks to everyone for their amazing info... the bbs split rims were put on after the wedding...

regards

 

Nice to see what one looks like with the blacked out window trim.

 

seeing the metal being replaced always makes me think there must be a better alternative to salt on the roads. It's killed so many Jag's!

I hope the painter really treated the areas well with red oxide and zinc etch primer, then shutz.

Looks well. Us UK Jaguar owners don't insist on leapers, chrome, extra bling, it's not required! (Unless your name's Stuart ;-)

 

I have chrome in all the right places! Its not my fault I'm a 1/4 Magpie!

XJR4Life's car is a similar colour to mine. I will have to post pics of mine at some point.

 

I appreciate your perseverance . Happy safe driving and your ride will serve you well

 

Had to include pics in the post.....so much better
Great looking car you have there my friend

 

Great looking XJR!

I don't insist on chrome either, but as my XJR was imported from the US it has plenty... not complaining though. It even has chromed Asteroid wheels, which look quite nice on a black car

 

hey jim thanks thats what i ideally wanted to do but am a bit novice with computers, and thanks to all for having a look too, i found some more pics jus wanted to show the shine on these pictures a little better, my blackberry does not do it justice anyway have had many cars but i doubt very very much i will ever sell this one, previous year it had upgraded brakes brand new bushes suspension and the list just can go on and unfortunately isnt going to stop lol anyway thanks to this forum its inspirational

regards

hey seanB sorry forgot to reply yes he did treat it wth two types of stuff but i cant remember what it was one of them was something to do with rust treatment in a few stages and he put wax oil in various places through manufacturer holes underneath looks brand new very tidy clean and fresh... hopefully it last ten years because i dont mind giving it a refresh n ten years...

 

jim you are a star haha thanks again i will study the link :- )

 

very lovely

 

@xjr4life

It looks the business now. I love the blacked out window frames, sadly in the US we have to have shiny bits and leapers :-(



This was the best colour I could find that hid the chrome as much as possible.

Seeing the pictures of your floorpans makes me really glad I left Blighty and moved to California where it's nice and sunny and doesn't snow !

Great to see a car being brought up to 110% again. Take care

 

thanks everyone for all your comments and feedback, i refuse to drive this in the rain now or when roads are salty such a shame jaguar was weak with the metal used in such a great car...

i saw this xjr in blue very nice car had lovely paint work and have to say the chrome on that car looked very nice i think chrome suits dark colours but you're right it being silver i prefer without the chrome,

anyone got pics of their xjr put some pics up t be great to see them...

love them wheels at the moment i use them when the cars going bodyshop or mechanics bbs splits will be back on in a month i think i got a mental problem lol but its all good
