Here are some pics of my work done over the past year. Just about got it how I want it now and need to enjoy it!
Genuine rear RS carbon fibre diffuser.
Matching diffuser side spats.
Rear boot/trunk genuine RS spoiler.
Boot/trunk plinth hydro dipped in carbon fibre film to match diffuser.
Rear facelift LED lights upgrade.
Removed and colour coded side gills in black.
Removed front bumper and had repainted so perfect.
All wheels refurbished and coated in ceramic protection.
4 new dunlop OEM tyres.
Alcon discs removed and centres painted and ceramic coated.
New front brake pads.
Exhaust mod to replace twin centre pipe resonators with new XK single resonator pipe (pleased with the sound!).
Paintwork corrected, clay barred, coated in Sonax extreme protect and shine NPT (doesn't warrant ceramic as doesn't go out in bad weather so trying this!)
Underside cleaned and sealed against rust.
Steering shaft bearing replaced at main dealers due to annoying squeak and serviced.
.....Removed front bumper and had repainted so perfect. .....
Excellent work. Very tight fit in your garage!
Did you build frame to support the front bumper during painting off the car? On my XK8's and previous XK, I stripped the fittings but left the bumper on the car for refinishing because of the flexing.

Graham
it certainly is tight Graham but the drivers side has a tiny bit more to get out (contortionist!), I have sponge on the wall and put a microfibre towel on my **** so not to scratch the paintwork!
As for the bumper, the paint shop had a special support as I wouldn't tackle that! Needs to be removed and stripped to get a perfect job but wasn't cheap!
