Thought I would share some pics of my car and what I've done so far and am doing in the near future.
Tinted the windows and the lights and got a number plate for it.
Removed the rear and front silencers - sounds like a beast.
Heres a video of it - sounds better now, that was taken the week it was done.

Got a little vandalized with some break fluid
Brakes were a little worn down after being low and treated a little harshly.
Replaced them with some Brembo discs and EBC red pads.
That's all so far, I also am intending on shortly fitting some Bentley wheels to it and I have air bag suspension system ready to install.
Im intending on having bodywork done and obviously having the vandalism repaired around november time. Followed by interior and audio work after.
Any opinions and thoughts welcome!!

i wish, dont know who did it, they did 3 cars on our drive, mine wasnt the one they aimed for but still some landed on it, but it was going to be sprayed anyway when the body work is done so its not the end of the world

A while since I have posted any updates.
Well the vandalism continued. I did a quick fix from the first time and they poured paint stripper over the whole car so I decided I'd do a fix while trying to catch them.
I also moved away from some other wheels when i found some off the XK that went on rather nicely.
Heres a clip also where you can hear my exhaust -- mine is about 16 seconds in

I am soon going to be painting it properly in a a different colour. I no longer want to put it on air so am selling the air ride and looking into having coilovers made. For the moment however I'm having fun driving round in a menacing Jag

I like those rims over your other ones, and if the black doesn't fit your final color you choose for the body, get the rims chromed and call it a day...bling goes with any color.
Good luck with catching those vandals!!
