It was around €17000 ($22300) and it went to a German buyer.

Thanks, man. Those are 20" Perseus rims, I think Jag used them on the final run of the XK8

Looks great.

From the condition it's impossible for anyone who doesn't really know their XK8's to tell what age it is.

Are these DLR's you've fitted in the grille?

Yeah, I am a big fan of DRLs but struggle to find some that match the car. The rectangular ones on the car at the moment are these, but I am not happy with the shape/look:

I also have these, which suit the car better, so might revert back to them. I need to remove the number and recess these lights into black plastic bar behind the grill.

I might also fit these in place of the corner-mounted OEM foglamps instead, but there's a bit of fettling in making that happen, I guess

That option gets my vote. It has the OE look about it.

These would look good on your car. There's really bright and I use them every day. Wow us with your XK8/R photos-image.jpgthey look much more integrated.

I would like to know where you sourced the rear bumper diffuser. I think it looks good.

You can order the clear lenses from adamesh and convert your existing ones. Fairly easy. I've done it too. They used to sell them finished but I haven't seen them lately.

He is correct. Paragon designs for the front sides and rear. They also hooked me up with the xf tails.
