Default Thoughts..?? Has anyone seen this XKR in person.

Tried searching the forum for this rig, couldn't find it.
On here alone there are many moded xk's, but none quite like this.
(My guess)

Personally, I Love it!
Glad to see these cars used for projects such as this. Mostly it is BMW and Mercs that get love from the stance world. Don't know if I would recreate the paint, but it is very unique. Owner is a 23 year old from Russia.

On the fence about keeping / selling my XKR, really wanting to do something different to put my own stamp on it. Came across this and thought I could use some of what I liked.

Here this link where I found it:

Different strokes for different folks, guess I'm just getting old but that looks like someone was on acid with a spray can.

Butt ugly, imo.


But I'm old and useless, so who cares what I think, anyway .

One the most horrible abominations I've ever seen in my life. Completely destroyed one of the most gorgeous cars ever built. Ruined the suspension right along with it. This guy should be strung up by his *********.

No comment. My mother always told me that if I couldn't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all.

It looks like the clear coat was burned off and several hundred pigeons had their way with it.

But their car, their money.

The exterior is now maintenance free. You would never have to wash/wax it.

Don't tell me that was actually done DELIBERATELY.

It looks like the owner parked in the wrong part of town on a Friday night.
