Got it all cleaned up and took a couple pics. I love this car!

 

Very nice and lovable too!!

 

Looks beautiful! Congrats. I really like the black Senta's. Did you have them powdercoated?

 

What's not to love about that! You are a very lucky man.

Those pics could grace a magazine cover,thanks for posting them.

 

Sweeeeeeet . Good luck and have fun.

 

Nice...like the B&W photos.

 

Best of luck with your new car, nice, hope you enjoy it as much as my 07, professional looking pictures. Just a matter of interest are they 20" wheels, are they the originals. They just seem to look very far in on the arches, maybe its the offset or tire size, or just the way the picture makes them look in.

I am just after fitting H&R spacers on my car, 20 mm fronts and 15 mm rears. Mine are aftermarket wheels which had the same offset as my senta's but the rears are 10" rather than the original been 9". They fronts now look better out flush with the arch and the rear looks more chunky and 15 mm is a good fit. Grip is even better. Main pictures were taken before spacers were fitted. As you can see from the third main picture (parked between the cars) of the car the wheels sit out more now with the spacers. Changed my front growler badge for the new red one as well.

 

Thanks everyone! They are the stock wheels that are plasti-dipped. I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep them black or not so I haven't powder coated them yet.


The tires are not the correct size (front or rear), they are too narrow, but the dealership I bought it from had replaced them so they were new when I got the car. I figure after a few more track days they will need replaced so I will go with wider than stock size. Not a big fan of wheel spacers, but I do love they way cars look that use them.

 

Looks great! Looks like you dipped the side fender badges too.

 

It does look great. Enjoy your new ride.

 

I am digging the wheel and air vent matching color. I would go ahead and paint it as such. I'd also consider painting the rear under bumper valance the same color.

Ditch the front plate...

 

Yeah I dipped the side vents and the badges on the rear and the front grills. Think I will end up painting all of it semi gloss black.


Front plate was a gift from my kids so it will stay.

 

Looks Great Cuz! Congrats!

 

What a gorgeous Coupe!
Why would anyone ever buy a convertible.? (except my wife's XK8!!!)
My first Jag was a '56 XK140MC Coupe , my E-Types were all Coupes, my '07 XK is a Coupe: only conv. I ever had was a '37 SS100.....................

Thanks for your great pics.....somewhat bias!!

Going downstairs now to look at my Radiance (metallic Red) Coupe!

Cheers, Adrian
