XKRS GT Wheels mounted

 

She was afraid the beads would scratch

Yeah, a great day for a classic wedding car.

 

 

Used the neighborhood clubhouse for the backdrop, I think the contrast makes the car pop.

 

OK, it's Welly harbour, and I can see Soames Island, but I can't figure out exactly where this is...

 

It looks a lot like Marine Parade near Ventnor Street.
Also appears to be a long lens was used.

 

Yup, agree - I figured it was the Miramar peninsula in the background, but I guess I started looking on Streetview in the wrong place.

Wellington Harbour is such a pretty place (on a good day).

 

Not bad you lot.Taken with mobile phone believe it or not.

 

 

Out of all the cars I've had here, this is the only one that I've wished was mine.

2011MY XKR, Salsa Red, Black interior with Red stitch
Black Pack, Speed Pack, Aero Pack

Has 11'700km / 7'270mi on the clock.

Looks, smells, tastes like new. Amazing.

 

A big giant thank you to all the cleaning/detailing advice of those on the forum. Finally able to start putting it into practice. About 30 hours so far, a lot more time and fun to be spent yet to go.

When I originally got this car I wasn't in a place to spend the time on cars that I would have liked.

This is a new thing for me as before I've just done mechanical work. My Jaguar hasn't needed mechanical work.

I really love it, thanks for kicking me in this direction.

I've gone from a looks good from 90 feet paint to about a looks good from six feet paint.

Sanding and re-coating headlights is next.

New Wheels TSW Ascents 20x9/20x10

 

Meant to post these before of my June dash makeover. Regrettably, I forgot to take my own "before" photos.....but you all know the previous look (stock photo from the web). The total cost was $20......for a 24"x36" piece of ViVid wrap ordered from Amazon. I watched a couple YouTube "how-to's" and it was a hoot to do.

Note: The entire console was removed to extract the ashtray.......took almost 8 hrs start to finish (3 hrs for the console removal and replacement alone)



Stock photo just for comparison



Clean with 50/50 isopropyl alcohol (see YouTube videos for tips)




Easily undo screws....





Take your time and use rubber medical gloves to remove each piece - and don't worry if you mess up applying the wrap, the wrap is super cheap






Looks pretty good huh?





Modern look if you're not a wood dash guy/purist





Just need new mats and aluminum pedals
