I'm pretty sure that plate is just an XKR thing. They appear to be very different brakes between the XK and XKR from what I have seen so far.

This refurb Is an OEM XK caliper cleaned up and rebuilt and looks exactly like the one I replaced.

 

hi guy this week i've change my 6HP26 oil gearbox.

Thanks for this... This is my next project...

 

Brilliant

 

Excellent photo sequence and a great write-up. I enjoyed reading (slowly) the procedure in French.

Thank's. Other tuto here www.xkr2007.com

 

Finally finished the interior (for now)!

Satin Red SuperCandy film by APA films on brushed aluminum and center console piano black pieces..
Carbon red paddle extensions
Stock shifter media blasted and painted with red anodize kit by duplicolor
Stock shifter medallion covered in black lambskin leather
Red stitch diamond pattern floor mats with debris catcher covers
Android media box integrated into stock touch panel with full control via car-solutions RTC, UTC, and GVIF.

 

Looks great! Where did you get the little //R logo for the trim above the glove box? Nice touch.

I found a decal set that was very close to the dimensions of the logo on the stock piece. Turns out, that brake caliper decals are almost a perfect fit.

 

First, I like the old school rap selection... Second that is the same decals I used when I wrapped my calipers, two years and they still look new... I think I still have a couple extra, I might have to slap one up on the dash...

 

Replaced front upper control arms. good times.

 

Did mind in as close to original "JAGUAR" lettering as possible. They were fading.

 

look classy in black

 

Painted my "difuser/spoiler"!

Looks grey but it's midnight black. :-)

 

Any chance of seeing a pic of it on the car? Looks good so far!

What paint did you use?

 

Had a company nearby mix the paint and put it in a spray can. The finnish is not as nice as I would have liked it to be but that is probably the painters fault!
It's not a perfect colour match but close, looks better than the black plastic IMO.

When looking at the picture on the computer I see it is not properly seated so went out and gave it a couple of thumps and now it is!

 

When looking at the picture, I see you’ve got a lift and a spare front bumper!

 

Marc,

What tyre dressing do you use?




I like the matt finish.

Graham

 

 

Lift is very handy. The bumper is my old 2007, I just got my 2010 front bumper from the painter and am in the process of assembling it, love the look of it!
