Sarcasm aside, how is that nice? They are now relegated to special order via a Ferrari/Maserati/Bentley/Land Rover dealer.
That may be marking up the prices on our local jags tho. I saw a 2003 XK8 for $20k at my local Fiat dealer. I don't think anyone is going to pay that for the base XK8 even with only 19k miles. I might offer to buy the Apollo wheels off that car if they still have it in the lot by december.
Here's the ad in their website.
2003 Used Jaguar XK8 2dr Conv XK8 at FIAT de Ponce, PR, IID 11582661
That white car might never see an owner again, but I wanna make those wheels mine. Hahaha
I think I'll give it a test drive this week. I wanna see if the 4.2 has more punch to it than my 4.0.

Can you post a pic of the engine bay particularly showing the radiator....... Yours being a X358 could make things a little different, are there all those plastic covers in the way??
The XJs may look similarish from the outside from the X308 but under the skin they are totally different animal and looking at mine (X308) I reckon using the XK set would just about work.
No worries about fitting, I will not deny I have not had much experience with X350/8 but happy to have a go

I ordered paragon and were installing now. FYI, request bigger clamps. They are just 1/2" too small for several of the fittings. We're trying to get longer screws but may opt for all new clamps for safety sake. Shame as the clamps he sent were really nice. Believe me, we've spent hours struggling to make fit. We got three on but the other three are simply not big enough.

I used bolt style clamps and got them from McMaster Carr. Large selection and available in stainless.
