Here's an idea, take it all the way Kimo. Remove the side mouldings, add spacers to the wheels, lower the ride ever so slightly and install the blacked out XKR mesh grill. (I'm partial to the earlier three piece mesh)

 

Ok, is Kimo good or bad?? I'm in the process of doing everything you just mentioned. Just finished my Arden ground effects kit and waiting for my springs and spacers!!
Going for aggressive, not ricer!!

 

Ok, I was inspired when I found a set of Chrome Apollos in bad shape and then saw this pic-

I used plasti dip so that I can live with it and decide if I want to go the silver route instead. So far I am kind of liking the sinister look.....

 

Kimokimara,
I'm happy you like it but I just don't think it looks like a Jag should look...."Sinister"? Sorry, Man! It just doesn't cut it with me! If you want to change it for the better, you should replace the "Amber Side Markers and Repeaters" with "Clear Lens" and go back to "Silver Wheels"! XK's and XKR Coupes are like "Beautiful Women" and should be dressed appropriately! You have "Hot-Rodded"-up a beautiful Classic Car!


Sorry but I don't like it!

It's good to be bad...

 

It is a change from the usual elegant jaguar look. Definitely not your grandfather's Jaguar !

 

Looks very Dark...Kinda MadMax

Here is my Black Cat with dark grille
and wheels black with some chrome

 

JimmyL, You got me Bud....Made me realize that I grew up in the Carburetor days...My first Car had 3 Side drafts with Chrome Hubcaps and Whitewalls! In 1953 the Corvette didn't even have roll-up Windows.....I remember when they did away with White walls...took me some time to get used to that too!

Just another old Granddad but Jimmy, I love my XKR Coupe, just as much as that new '53 with Powerglide.... Probably more!
