Certainly is, I have been looking for years and cannot find anyone who can do a proper job on putting louvres into the bonnet.

I'd love to have those louvres on my XJS, they look really cool. Of course, with no V12 under it there's no need for extra cooling help, in fact, on my kitty it takes a pretty hot day, plus stop and go traffic to get the needle to travel to the center of the temp gauge dial. There's no doubt that louvres add an extra sport exclamation to any car, plus I don't believe that Jaguar installed them on XK8's and XKR's to prevent them from overheating...

I'd have to get me an estimate.

Cheers,
