Has anyone ever deleted their fog lights on a stock XKR? I like having my fog lights to drive with, but wonder if the Jag will look more 'classic' if they were deleted. Below is a photo that I stole off of the internet of an XKR with factory fog lights and the same photo with the lights deleted. Thoughts?

 

Wasn't too sure when I read the thread title but it's a nice, clean look.

Is it just a thought at the moment or are you planning to do it?

The difference is subtle. It is certainly smooth & clean. However, given the practicality of the fog lights, I think I'd keep them.

Just my opinion and worth what you paid for it. You thinking of doing it?

 

Looks better with the fogs

 

I've been considering different options for the appearance of my XKR. I plan to go with a fresh paint job or wrap next year. If I do the light delete, I'll probably purchase or make a fiberglass copy of the front nose, then sculpt the delete myself. I have years of composite experience and can do something like that fairly easily. I'm in thinking mode and benefit from others' input. Thanks!

 

If you decide to form a new nose, you could incorporate pretty much anything you want! I am thinking a true cold air intake duct...

 

I'm with hm1.............personally I prefer the look with the fogs

 

While you are thinking, take a good, long look at the shape of the earlier, more-recessed fog lights on the 2000. Don't ask me why, but they look less "bugged-out" than the newer ones. Also, sounds like you could fabricate the opening to a cool-air duct back to the front brakes, if you needed that functionality.
