Does anyone know if there are still companies that make body kits for the XJS or am I out of luck. Tried finding some used for sale with no dice so far.

 

Where are you located?
I believe my mechanic has a complete used TWR bodykit. Would have to check if they would be willing to ship if you might be interested.

 

I am in lower Michigan about 75 miles from the border with Ohio. I unfortunately don’t know how well that works with where you’re located

 

Hah!
Yes, should have said I am in Toronto, Canada.
If you like I can ask him if he's willing to sell and ship. If so can get you pics and price.

 

Thats awesome! I’d love if you could do that! I can’t express how grateful I am!

 

Lister and Arden still make them

 

problem being that the Arden site is down for the moment it seems. Drops an error every time

 

So, the used kit he has is from Jag-sport i.e. would have been fitted on a dealer car, not retrofit directly from TWR.
I gather one difference is the Jagsport version comes with cut outs for the front fog lamps.
He is asking $US1,900 plus shipping. There is a small hole in the front valence which would need minor repair. The area where the hole is located is underneath the front of the car, so not visible.
the kit includes front and back bumpers, 2x side skirts and rear spoiler. If you are interested, I can get him to take some pics and estimate shipping. The parts are in storage, so will need fetching.

 

I appreciate the offer but I grossly underestimated the cost of these sorts of things. I appreciate the offer but unfortunately I do not have that much to budget towards a kit at the moment. The kit is only 100 dollars less than I ended up purchasing this car for haha.

 

Hey, no problem

 

Imagine freight is gonna be an arm and a leg...truck freight aint cheap. Add import and wouldnt surprise me another 2K

 

Lol at this thread. Something tells me “thats more than what I paid for the car” will be a constant theme.

 

Absolutely will be, hard to beat the $1 that's on the sale part of the title. That being said, I grossly underestimated prices on these sorts of things.

 

Welcome to Jaguar ownership where everything costs more than you expected.
"There is nothing more expensive than a cheap Jaguar"
Mine was free and within five years cost me over $15,000.

 

I’ll drink to that. I just took my gas tanks out and my surge tank is coated in a thick black sludge so if it won’t come clean then it’s 300 bucks out the window.

 

 

Jaguar Spares international sells the Lister body kit and the TWR body kits new for less than 600 British pounds.
Can be found here.( https://www.jagsparesinternational.c...7%7C&offset=60 )
XJS / body and fittings / page 6 & 7
At the moment that is cheaper than the used ones being offered, and without the usual repairs required. Hope this helps
