Default XK8 Body

Hello all,

New here, lots of good info!

Couldn't find if anyone has tried to fit later model body parts, light, ect... on the x100.

Specifically, I am wanting to put an '06 bumper on a '98 car. Any thought out there as to if it can be resonably accomplished without having limitless budget?

Thanks in advance for any info.

Clay

Most parts will directly fit.

Some like the bumper need a little consideration since a few bits like the fender liners and undertray are different. If you get those along with the bumper then it isn't difficult. I believe you also need some spacers for the upper mount points that are under the bonnet.

There are a few threads about doing the front bumper upgrade if you search for them.

And there are some aftermarket options too if you want to go further:

Cool, I'll try the search thing again. Thanks for the info.

Have been looking at The Paragondesign site, lots of good ideas but I think very pricey in the end. Mine already had quite a bit done to it, but looks like they smashed the bumper somehow and then painted it. Or the ran it into something soft...
Anyways, just need that and a few odds and ends like suspension bushings, new seatbelt latch and seat controllers and she should be back to feeling new.


Cheers,

Clay
