Good Job on the Jaaag, clearly that cat came to the right home!, regarding the BRG(HGD Jag paint code) on the XKR's, looks like your car originally is in the flat BRG? at least from what I can see from first auction site pictures, havent seen the cat on the side repeaters before, nice bling! maybe stance is somewhat off(?) seems to sit higher on the rear wheels?
Cheers!

When you do the shock mounts, have a good look at the bottom shock bushing, if it's floppy replace or get new shocks. It's a ball joint really and not a rubber bushing like we normally think off on a shock.
Already ordered the Welsh front shock mounts because they are shot but other than that, they are ok.

Surprisingly, the car is extremely well maintained with all the rubber soft to touch

My friend has the Alpine Green X100 and it looks beautiful compared to the flat BRG mines had.

I deleted all the front and rear side repeaters on the bumpers. The fenders ones were removed by the PO

Yes, the stance is a bit off right now because the front shock mounts are shot. I plan to lower the car eventually and redo the interior in our hot summer months were it reaches 55c (131F)

I used him as my inspiration after watching his videos however I did 2 things different

1. 2.5" pipes
2. Went under axle instead of over axle

Strange thing is Im not getting pops and bangs like he got, something I did wrong?
