I'm dealing with some doubts about converting my XKR 4.2 2007 with XKR-S Body Kit (similar to Speed Pack/black pack kit).

Doubts considering various factors:
a) Price: absolutely pornographic prices
b)aesthetics: i'm not sure about results. I'm not sure about side sills and other parts.
c) changing original

I'm pretty sure some of you have same doubts, specially about aesthetics (price it's absolutely unreasonable )...some time i think body kit it's at certain point not completely integrated on car lines...specially on 4.2 models...i don't know many doubts

 

Frankly not sure what do you exactly mean. Can you share pictures of what you are planning/considering to fit? What elements will be converted?

XKRS conversion should cover: front bumper (will not fit 4.2s/c), side sills (will fit), rear bumper's diffuser (central carbon part plus to side elements) (will fit) and rear spoiler (will fit).

Entire Speedpack will fit: front bumper extension, side sills, rear diffuser and bigger rear spoiler.

I did a Speedpack conversion and I like it very much.

 

Yes you gather it ,thanks.
I'm considering install speedpack like this on attached photos. Can you share with me results on your car? Thanks

 

Not having any pimped pics, as I did it in late December. For now not worth sharing, but exactly as shown on pictures above

 

Original Jaguar parts prices are insane. If you can find aftermarket or used OEM prices it would be more reasonable.
Some aftermarket parts are great, others aren't worth the paint you put on them.

 

Finding a rear Speedpack diffuser is a real pain. I have seen only one so far (which I took). There was one more recently in the UK to buy (gone already). In theory Mina Gallery can make it for you, but it's a relatively difficult part and not sure if I decide for a non-OEM in this case.

Side sills are available. Front splitter - I have Mina Gallery (Ted once again thanks for help ), used OEM is difficult to get (but easier than rear one).

 

Paolo,
When I bought my XKR over seven years ago, there was a forum member who's car I just thought looked great with the speed pack skirts, front splitter etc. Since Mina Galleries is essentially in my back yard, I went to see Chris, purchased the side skirts and the front splitter, purchased a rear bumper/splitter from F/X Designs in Chicago, and set about to make my car what I wanted. It's been a long time since I had the work done, and I don't regret any of it. The front splitter will get scraped and cracked (I'm putting my fourth one on this week), so I'd order an extra spare. Although, the front splitter and the skirts do not appear on Mina's website any longer, Chris will still make them for anyone that wants them. I've helped a couple of forum members get them over the past few months. So let me know if you need anything. And by the way, the parts from Mina are exceptionally reasonable in price. Below is how my car turned out.
