Default Xk60 kit

A picture speaks a 1000 words !!

I want to create more depth making the xk look a lot more fuller, sometimes I look at the xk and it reminds me of a torpedo on wheels !

Looking to stick to a basic kit and must be oem which has lead me to the XK60 kit , whilst I love the look of the kit I'm happy to pull the trigger however it might take time getting use to the square tips although in a black finish they'll blend in been less noticeable that might work !



Looks complete nice and full !!

Wonder how round tips would finish it off here

Not discounting the fact that I might be blind, but i'm really not seeing the differences.

The butt-end is rounder with squarish exhaust tips.

see what i mean about the exhaust tips kind of look odd in square hence why I was thinking of blacking them out (less noticeable) or even running larger round tips

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Thank goodness no one has messed with my lean, elegant, pristine example of the original X150 xkr.

Now that you’ve extended the soap box ;-)

Imho, the original design is stunning…. as reiterated by everyone/anyone who comes up to my car. (Happened (again) just yesterday while parallel parked in a busy part of town. Drew a small crowd, in fact)
There is a very short list of “beautiful” cars. I feel this is one of them.

Also, I’m just becoming bored with most modern car designs which have a plethora of bolt on stuff and down right ugly, bloated designs.
Most cars seem to look the same. I prefer to avoid that.
In summary, as far as I’m concerned, you can keep the bolt on bits.

I'm guessing a countach definitely does not fall into that bracket or the newly designed aston vantage. For me the DBS in skyfall silver does...simple , timeless & a classic design
