So subtle that I had to hunt for it. I just assumed it was the lighting, reflecting off the line already there. So, yeah, it sort of livens up the rockers.

Not the best pic, but the previous owner put a silver wrap on the lower rockers and 1 inch on the front and back lower bumper. I had them remove it to check for damage.

Steve have you considered the R-S rockers? They were quite inexpensive when I (and others later on) bought them.

So subtle, I still can't figure out what you did. But, I like the photos so it must be my weak eyes.

Keep it rolling.

For the benefit of members without a 27 inch or larger monitor!



It took me a while to realise that isn't just a reflection.

It works on a black XK to highlight the rocker panel, but it's not needed on my Shadow Gray 2009 XKR Portfolio.

Only thing I can see clearly is steering wheel is on wrong side !!l (Ha Ha) Just like my Austin 750 I used to drive as a teenager in Weybridge!

Those were the good old days..................maybe.
I just love my Radiance 2007 XK Coupe the way it was made; don't mess with perfection, IMHO!!

I think I'm going to make it to 87! only 15 days to go...........

Cheers, Adrian

Age is a state of mind. It's mind over matter.

If she doesn't mind, it doesn't matter!

I'm going to stop posting in this thread. It's full of old geezers.

Gaah, I thought I was old at 59. I guess I just feel old since my body is falling apart too soon. Also kind of lucky since I've been retired since 2006.
