Hi Cee Jay

Gotta be some TN Vols fans here!! LOL

OTOH, that Gloss Black would be an inexpensive way to get the Piano Black look, at least to see if you like that before spending the big bucks to get the real stuff.

I forgot to mention they have digital camo versions also, would be perfect for Riddick?sp? and his Camo XK!!

I hesitated to post those colored versions, but you never know what someone would want.

Happy Sunday to you TOO,

Dave

Out of interest, does anyone have either of the coloured braids that Jaguar supplied on their XK?

I'm trying to think of what color combo would look good with a BRG exterior and camel hide interior? You guys with the black of gray dashes have it made.

Hi Ranchero,

Too bad they don't have it in the "Almost BRG" CF like on the McLaren I posted earlier, that would be absolutely stunning in your BRG with Caramel Interior.

If you are interested I can check with him.

Have a great night,

Dave

When I changed mine out I kept the originals in the boxes the others came in, just in case I changed my mind, or when I sell it I will have the originals for the next owner.

I have a habit of doing this with every part I "upgrade" or change from original. I find when it is time to sell an all original in stock form, or at least having the parts available for the buyer, is going to fetch more. Plus you can then sell all the "upgraded" stuff to someone else....or use it on the next one.

Cheers,

Dave

A Jaguar XKR in BRG and camel leather are so that, in my opinion, anything other than burl wood would look like lipstick on a pig!

If wood is out and you must have a more modern interior with carbon fiber-look trim, and since your paint isn't pristine, then I think you should consider wrapping the exterior in a color that matches the color of that carbon fiber-look trim. Camel is a neutral leather color, so you can go anywhere from mild (gray) to wild (purple), whatever floats your boat.

Color shifting plasti-dip with lots of gloss? Something with a BRG base would be amazing.

If you can remove it without damaging the original surface, then why not? It's inexpensive, so try it - you might like it!

Wood looks good with the light interior, too.

I have the metallic dash panels in my 2012 XKR, and I want to find someplace where I can get real wood panels to replace them.

Could you provide pricing info for the wood finish dash panels? Also, ate they real wood or plastic?

Your Public Profile shows that you have a 2012 XKR. Instead of trying to find new old stock OEM Jaguar X150 real wood veneer (very expensive, if you can find all the pieces), consider this aftermarket source:

They also have kits for the 4.2L models.

They seem to have some decent product, and I like that active interface.

Why all the hate on burlwood? I would add more if able. I think the door could use a little wood.
For me CF NOT!
Spun aluminum NOT!
More burl wood YES!
Now I don't feel the same way about wood if it's not Burl. The other woods I see do not float my boat at all.
But to each his own and I applaud anyone who is willing to try something different.
After all it's your car.
