The 2003 XKR doesn't have a lower grille, so I don't have anywhere to mount DRLs. I did think about some round ones behind the main grille, but I'm not sure how it would look

 

There is a thread here on the forum that explains the process for converting front 'parking lights' to act as DTRL's. Very simple, just use a jumper wire to connect 2 relays in the CB box under the hood. So simple, even I could do it without burning up anything.

 

I had the opportunity to give my X KR its first bath :-) what a beautiful car :-)

The last picture is the left front shock mount. (See shock mount discussion)

Let the fun begin!

 

Robert Z......That's a good looking XKR! Not sure of the interior Color but it looks Black....Someone has taken good care of her....How many miles are on it? and Welcome to the "Black Jag Club"! Remember Black is Beautiful !! and the Wheels look good too!

Very Nice XKR. Welcome.

 

Thank you guys, I'm smitten :-) funny though, on following the shock mount thread with Wayne and company and now I'm looking for the elusive BBS wheel toolkit as it didn't come with the car; I can't even check the tire pressure:-/. Now I'm trolling through threads to find out whether or not I can find this wheel toolkit. 28,500 miles on the engine and drivetrain and I give it a solid 9.5/10 on the interior :-)

 

Robert Z....

Thank you Billy! I appreciate the link; thanks to good people in this forum such as yourself, makes the Jag experience much more comforting:-)

Beautiful looking car. Low miles too. Looks like you got a great deal.

 

newest photo i took the other day at work.

 

that is the grill I want!!

 

I have the grill on my '06. Had to remove the cross bumper to fit correctly. Got it from eBay. Wanted blk, they sent chrome. I painted the upper.

 

Here's my latest snaps of my early XK8. One from the Keighly and Worth Valley's Ingrow Station and the other at Salts Mill, Saltaire, West Yorkshire.

Wow! Beautiful pictures!

 

Thanks Robert. I find that photographing my XK8 satisfies two of my passions - trying to create striking photographic images and my love for the classic lines of Jaguar cars (pre current generation, that is).

Not sure if you follow John Dee's 'To The Garage' channel on YouTube, but I strongly recommend it. Also, if you like the images, please can I ask you to vote in the competition (if one of my images is shortlisted) later in the year?

Thanks again :-)

 

Great Shots!! What colour? Send link, and I will be glad to vote. Love the 'To the Garage'.

 

Fantastic photo's.
Trouble is with that much "tampering" it could be anything in the flesh, may not be red or may not even be an X100

 

Thanks Sam, that's really good of you. No links yet as the entries are still open. For anyone else interested in taking part, send your best image to john@tothegarage.co.uk before midnight on 30th June. My car is one of the earliest examples (Nov '96) in Carnival Red.

I'll post again if I get shortlisted and ask for support of other members if they like the pic.

Take care,
Gerard
