Hello All
Hi all, nice to be here.
I'm a retired mechanic but I do still like to have a tinker with my own cars to keep on top of the workings although due to health I can no longer do as much as I would like to.
I have recently familiarised myself with Jaguars again for the first time since 1993 which was my last one before now.
My new car is a 2014 XF 2.2 diesel which has been mapped to 235bhp and a lot more torque
I have spent the last few months replacing what needs doing and upgrading it just so that it looks a little more unique without destroying the great XF points, the wheels have been painted in a shadow chrome, callipers are red with a white Jaguar logo and just had a set of black Piranha brake discs fitted all round, full window tints 18% at the backs and 50%
on the fronts. I covered the interior wood with black gloss carbon fibre wrap which I think looks so much better than the light wood that was fitted and coloured the leather in gloss black. Fitted a custom made steering wheel cover and rebadged it to get rid of the dust trap at the base.
My next upgrade is for a full length Tesla style screen with dash cams, reversing camera and TPMS internal sensors. I need to work out how to fit the new stereo yet so I'm hoping for some help and advice here.
Still much to do to make me a very happy driver but it's definitely getting there.
I hope to be able to not only learn about my own forthcoming projects but also to help others if my wisdom stretches to it, lol.
