Wheel arch trim
My 1988 xj 12 (black) has stainless wheel arch trim that appears to be original to the car .... sorry I don't have a picture at present... some others that I have seen pictures of seem to have the same trim.. can someone tell me whether this was an optional accessory at time of purchase... ?? Thanks

As Doug says, watch out for rust ! These were popular in the UK too in the 70s and 80s, as it was a quick and easy way to disguise rusty wheel arches, especially the rear ones. Front wings are bolt on, so not so much of a problem, you just replace the wings, but the rears are a cut and weld-in job, (and if you do the job properly, lead-load not filler before painting).

Thanks again
They seem ok, perhaps due to the benign climate and no salting on the roads here, I felt all around each and they seem fine the only rust I have noticed anywhere is on the bottom sill of one of the rear windows...oh and there's a dent in the roof where a barn roof fell in on the car in a gale !!
