You folks have a lot of info to read through. I have been reading for a few days. I just picked up a 2010 XK with 59K... This is my first jag. I am a Benz man at heart. I just sold my CL63, Let me tell you; they are totally different animals. I think the "R" would have been closer.
I just added some spacers. 20mm front & 25mm Rear. The spacers make the rear wheels look bigger. I just added the ipod bluetooth connection. Being able to place Spotify is cool. I will say the ungraded sound system have great imaging and crystal clear sound.

Yeah, you gave up like 200 hp going without an /R, but the chassis you have now is superior. Plus now you don't have the stigma of a Bendy. An /R probably would have been a closer match.
