Hi all....

Does anyone here have one of those fibreglass tonneau covers on their XK8/R? There is a "speedster" type and regular "cover only" type. I am looking into getting one or the other, either from Paramount or Custom Jag, but am looking to hear if any one else has one or knows of someone who has one installed and how they like it. In my opinion, it looks far better than the vinyl one and gives the car a real "finished" look with out any permanent modifications.
Also, I live in Canada so I am looking for a North American outlet that might sell such an item... if any one knows of one could you please let me know by p.m.? Thanks

That is awesome, the speedster version looks like the dang batmobile ! How much do these cost ?

 

Those are way cool. Do they come in Jaguar Green?
Or a Tan to match my XKR interior?
I don't the rules on posting links but, would like to see the web site.

 

that s really different.. but cool.

 

I would buy it to use on occasions, but I don't like it for a permanent look.

 

Just found a pic of an aluminum cover.... can't find who makes it or sells it.... anyone know?

You still have to put it on and take it off manually, i don't really see a huge advantage over our vinyl ones. At least we can fold ours up and it takes up less space than these 'hard' ones. Remember the 'targa' tops of the 80's? Those things took up all of the trunk space...and where are they now? Retractable would be the only way i would go the hard cover route.

 

If you've got an extra $3000 laying around, you can always order this one from overseas!! No VAT, just part and shipping
Color coded to your vehicle is about$3500, and thebag to protect it when not in use is a mere $700.

Well... I couldn't wait!!! Got an unpaintedcover from England for under $700 canadian. Paintedby a friendto match the car.... check it out...

Looks like the colour is different but it's just shadows... now if only the weather will warm up and the sun come out...
