Hello,
New member here. Been a long time reader and thought I'd might as well join up and quit lurking. I've got a 2009 Jaguar XF Premium Luxury with the 4.2L N/A engine and have had it for two years. Always been a big Jag guy and pretty close to the description Clarkson, May and Hammond gave of jag drivers when they reviewed the 2010 XJ. I haven't done anything to my car as of yet, aside from adding Pirelli P-Zero All Season plus's (after having to drive from Revelstoke to Calgary on a half sized spare when the previous tires burst midway from Vancouver to Calgs) and put on Ace Alloy Convex wheels, which I think are just short of absolute perfection in alloy form. This monday I am actually having a slight visual modification done. Taking inspiration from Harry Metcalfe (of Harry's Garage, on youtube) and his XJR/Project 7, I'm having the mesh on my grille sprayed gloss black and wrapping the chrome surround in orange, in a bit of an homage to one of my favourite D-types. I'm terribly hoping it'll be tasteful and not too obscene. I'm also looking to do an exhaust modification, but I'll save that for another post looking for advice.
Cheers!

Welcome to the forum RacingGreen,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
If you post photos of the 'before' and 'after' grille, stand by for unrestrained reactions from members - the lovers and haters are never slow to voice their opinions!
It sounds like you've already found your way to the X250 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.
You can also visit the Canada Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/canada-73/ to find other members in your region.
Enjoy the forums.
Graham
