Default XKR Speed Pack

Hi,

One of two Jaguar XKR Speed Packs in Dubai, Just thought I'd share my car as a new member..






Only changes I have done so far is the Bonnet Vents and wheel Spacers.

Nice pics, I like the trim on the side panels, lower grille and rear end diffuser.

I suspect yours is a 2012/2013.

Always nice to see the other Jaguars that are out there.

Nice ride. Enjoy.

Hi,

It's 2013, the temp is 47 to 50 degrees so I have to park in the shade a lot to protect the roof.... But cooling is fine as they come as 'Gulf Spec' which basically is an upgraded cooling system.... Don't use the heated seats much!

Thanks for your comments, there are not too many out here... but the F-Type seems to have created a flow of them recently, I had a black one before which looked amazing when polished, but I feel the silver shows the curves better... Although it doesn't 'POP' when I polish it... It does stay cleaner longer, the dust and sand is a nightmare out here.

Does the dust and sand get into certain parts and cause clogging?!? Like the intake system? Do you have to change the engine filter more often under warranty due to the area you are in?

I am not really sure, I have a service contract on it so the servicing is all included for the first 3 years.... But you see people a lot here at service stations blowing sand storms out of their air filters with the air hose.... My Range Rover filter is just a few screws away so I do check that one ever 4 months... they do need an air hose to clean them out.

Nice-looking car - my neighbour has a silver XK, but I think the car looks better with the Speed Pack kit.
