have just finished my 3.6 manual xjs been working on her for the past two years pretty happy with the outcome like to get feedback. next job is fitting the turbo and we are away

 

'Shrinking violet' springs to mind; not.
It looks like it should have missiles mounted on the bonnet and I wouldn't want to see it coming up in my rear view mirrors!
It looks pretty mean.

 

Maybe it's just the photograph, but something is bothering me about the red bonnet stripes being glossy next to the matte black. Maybe the red should be matte too. I like what you have done with the headlights. The car does look mean. How about fitting a turbo V12 instead?
