EDIT... it is a pet peeve to see threads with bad grammar or spelling. Mods, would you please change "HRE's" to "HREs?"

I hope "HRE" isn't his girlfriend, but if it is, I'm in.

Very tasteful.

Now it really resembles an Aston Martin.

Thank you guys! I'm going for the clean yet "sinister" GT look. I will be adding the front splitter as somehow the dealer left it off of mine. I was considering the side sills, rear diffuser and larger spoiler but think the car looks really clean as is. What do you guys think?

I'll have some better picture up hopefully today when the car gets detailed and professionally shot by the shops photographer.

I would say just go with the diffuser and the front splitter.

Looking good.

Wow MaximA, those wheels look great! I've been looking for wheels and the P 101 is definitely the best looking wheel I have seen. Are they 20 in.? Did you stay with the same width? Is that the brushed charcoal? Looking forward to seeing pics outside.

The are 20x9.5 front and 20x11 rear in gloss charcoal. Wheel fitment on a Jag will drive you totally insane.

I agree I don't want to add too much, but thing the rear diffuser really completes the back of the car. Now the question is XK-RS splitter in carbon?

Agreed.....been looking at numerous websites for wheels for the 2009 XKR Portfolio Edition convertible w Alcon brakes.....and can't find any with proper offsets for proper fitment due to the oversized brake calipers on our cars.

Looked at the Coventry brand, and front had proper fitment, but nothing for the rear in a staggered setup, 20 x 8.5 and 20 x 10.

Frustrating for sure on my search. So have to stick with original OEM 20" Selena wheels.

Glad to hear and see you got something you liked.

I don't know about that...I think I would considering something with a slimmer profile. The XKR-S lip is pretty big, might look off on your car. What about Arden?

Paramount has a nice Carbon Diffuser
