New Jag Owner
Well other then child hood fantasy I have never owned a "Jag" until now. And I must say I absolutely love my 2012 Jaguar XJL Portfolio. This think exudes Class. And I was lucky to find one that was not a fleet car or owned by some kid who abused the hell out of it. Everything is in top condition. Its fast, Its class, it sounds good, For a big car it is a real pleasure to drive.
But there are a few things I want to do and would love any input from the community.
In my opinion this car would look sexy as hell with a modest wing. Yet I cant find any shops offering body kits. Anyone know of any?
I intend to replace the stock brakes and rotors. Cross drilled with ceramic would be a good fit.
I already have privacy glass but am thinking of tinting the windshield a bit more.
Mabey go for a black out look. I think this would look good on the bright white paint.
Am interested in a x-pipe to give it a little more growl. but not drone on the freeway. I commute often and while I love the sound of high rev's I don't want it putting me to sleep in the traffic. ( on that note... anyone got anything to make Washington state drivers get the hell out of the fast lane when their driving 50mph? lol)
Anyway. I hope to have some pictures soon. Look forward to your comments and suggestions..
Happy Trails.

Hi John welcome aboard,
I did start a reply earlier then messed up the link, however,
Drilled and slotted with red brake calipers, beautiful.
Tinted front screen, too dark in winter, OK in summer.
Try shifting into Dynamic mode and seeing if that appeals to the lust for growl! however the X351, is overly designed to be a quiet car.
Rear wing, the trunk is terribly sensitive and also being aluminum it's weak! The drag which is only 0.29 is the lowest in its class and we don't know how a wing will adversely affect it.
(before being an HVAC Engineer I was at British Aerospace and I've seen how seemingly innocuous additions can affect sometimes quite dramatically the performance of a vehicle)
But have fun and good luck
Ian.
