The wheels are indeed Aston Martin DBS, but I will have to let you into a little secret, the pic I have is not a real car but me playing with photoshop and is in fact 2 cars spliced together, 1 being an XK, 1 being a DBS, I did it to see how it looked, one customer liked it show much I had to build it, I then finished up with this

Not 100% finished yet but very close, the complete kit will cost around £2500, you can follow its progress on the Paragons facebook page

Superb looking as well - so is this the XKR you already have in the photos section? If so, I was going to ask about this as well. Did you use spacer on the Senta wheels or not necessary - looks very sharp!

Thanks for the reply!

If you are refering to facebook then yes......

The Senta wheels have a different PCD and require adapter spacers I make, the front are 20mm thick and the rears are 15mm, if any more than that the rear wheels will rub on the arches

You will never catch me in a car with daylight running lights. The first thing I would do is figure a way to turn them off!

Well said that man!

I just installed the same DRL headlights on my 97 xk convertible, bought from Adamesh, the critics are correct, they do have plastic lenses, which I am sure will haze over in time, but they look great, and are easy to fit, however the lower bolt fitting is not there, so you only have the two upper bolts. They look great, and the LED's although small are very bright, they certainly turn heads. Bad point is the adjustment was miles out, and trying to get behind to adjust them is near inpossible, I am taking the lazy option of getting a specialist to adjust them for me.

Bottom line is that on a Sapphire Blue xk, the black interior of the lights look excellent, however, the bad points are no auto levelling and only manual adjustment. For £595 I'm happy

Hideous!
Looks like a cheapo Mercedes wannabee.
Why does anyone want to make a car as gorgeous as an XK look like a kit car that was chucked together in a home workshop????

Indeed I do own Paragon...... Not sure how much of a deal I could offer but what kind of kit you are after, I do have a customer who is selling a X150 style for £1000, that is about $1600ish but shipping is not cheap

Think you will find that is an Aston with a Mansory kit on it...... They do a lot of high end kits for top end cars and very expensive

That seems good in relation to the site. What are we talking about for a shipping price? Thanks

Here's a link to the eBay listing which explains everything CLICK HERE

I know it says no overseas but if it is done through me it will be fine

I'm in touch with Karl....Thanks! I may be back in touch with you in that I may go with another style since the price for shipping is so great. May as well spend a little more to get the look that really catches my eye. Question: do all the parts you sell come with the finishing pieces? (ie: mesh grilles/ inserts)

Yes it does come with all mesh grilles, the one on eBay is just missing the tail pipes as the customer wanted to do something different.
But sure if you want a different kit let me know..... Shipping is expensive due to the size of the crate, it can be made cheaper if you are willing to wait and go by sea
