jag_genius and others-- source of parts needed :-) Conversion
I was told that jag_genius and others might be a source for jag parts and I am currently tring to change my 2003 S-Type R front clip to a 2005-06 S-type R
Here is what I bought
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=130115135426
Ebay Item number :130115135426
It seems I am missing the plastic mesh grill, and two covers that go right next to the mesh grill right underneath the inermost headlights. I am guessing the modling and reflector are different for this year. I hope not and I can reuse mine.
Please help me, Ive found a source for most of these parts but it is cryptic when i go to order.
I found them in http://www.jaguarparts.com it has an illustration but im at a loss for what transfers over and what doesnt. HELP ME PLEASE

RE: jag_genius and others-- source of parts needed :-) Conversion
i have one of the bumper mouldings which is different from the 2003 year,but it's chrome which needs to be painted same color as car.. in the picture below.. and i can get you a price for the rest of the stuff. .. i guess you will need to get the grill from jaguar xp.com and i hope the fog lights are the same.. and the fog light covers will be the same too. so ill get you a price for the other bumper moulding because i have one. and the grill insert under the license plate.

RE: jag_genius and others-- source of parts needed :-) Conversion
Thank you sir I am in your debt.
I have made a diagram :-) LOL
2 Valance (Underneath plastic cover) I hope it can transfer over
3 Factory Grille Mesh
4 Fog Light covers (Mines got fog lights but dont know if it carries over
5 It seems to be just a cover that clips on (I hope)
Your arrow- Bumper molding and reflector
Oh and there seems to be some holes for bolting it on, do you have covers for these round little holes in the front of the bumper or do they transfer over.
Let me know what you can get, and again I really do apreciate your help

RE: jag_genius and others-- source of parts needed :-) Conversion
well the holes are for front parkaid.. if you dont have it then you need to cover them up before painting the bumper...but i heard that if you bondo over these hole it doesn't last, i wud just get broken front park aid sensors then paint them and the slip themright in..
i think 2 may be transfered over but not100 % sure but the valence new is like 3-4 hundred,
4 and 5 shud just fit.. as well so you just need 1 and 3

RE: jag_genius and others-- source of parts needed :-) Conversion
Here are the differences, the gray one is my actual car, and the white is the new front end. I have a 2003 STR Going to 2005 STR.
Your arrow- You have the moldings for the STR Version 2005 and up correct?
As you can see 5 seems to just be a moulding cover for the body,
4 seems to just be grill covers (they deleted fog lights in newer years I believe, ill disable mine or later on make something up they dont seem to be the same as mine at all) If you have these newer grill covers ill take them too :-)
3 is just a plastic grille (I guess ill need the bolts too)
I dont have park assist on mine, do you have broken front park aid sensors?
Is not that is alot of parts but misc that I will need. The hard part is finding them
This is the bumper for a 2005-06 STR this bumper never came on standard s-types.
Any help on these parts is still apreciated
PS. The top front grille should be the same correct. The big imposing one in the front :-)
Sorry to be so long winded and just want to make sure

RE: jag_genius and others-- source of parts needed :-) Conversion
Oh boy, I think that there are more parts needed. I was told that the bumpers are a direct swap but it seems that the absorbers and mount brakets are completely different. Anybody know for sure.
the first one is a diagram of suposedly my year 2003 STR
and the second one is of a 2005 STR (again supposedly)

RE: jag_genius and others-- source of parts needed :-) Conversion
Ive put the project on hold for a bit. As it turns out I believe Jaguar changed more than just the bumper. From what im told the back and side flares have been changed as well. I dont want it to look mismatched. Nice front with clashing lines
Also the front attachment seem to be different. I found a website with a diagram and it seems it would cost around 1200 dollars just for parts. Not including the bumper I just bought (which the ebay guy seems to be non-responsive about) ??!
---However if I had a buddy going through with this as well I would feel much better about it :-) The difference is definately worth while......Looks like a nice jaguar or almost a mean bently look.

RE: jag_genius and others-- source of parts needed :-) Conversion
Ive told myself (and wife) that I woulnt modify this car for power. Thats what the camaro is for. Soooo, I found a +3psi pulley, and lower temp thermostat, filter and ecu program for it already (anybody seen the ecu program for less than freaking 1000 dollars, thats crazy). Not what I call much modification but......
By the way this S-Type Gets me horney... Sorry just thought i would share
Yes its got navi, now i wont get lost in my neighboorhood. LOL
Somebody please talk me out of modifying this car, I havent even driven mine yet.
PS. Damn, X-types are pretty too....... Do they have a V8 version?

RE: jag_genius and others-- source of parts needed :-) Conversion
No, no v8 or anything...I like the power the 3.0 gives...the one thing the x has on the R is that you can find some 3.0's with a stick! Now that would be fun! Me personally though the performance of the x is good enough for me until I get out of the x and find an R!
Dude I just did try to talk you out of it...remember when I said go get some different rims???!!!
I wouldn't modify that car to even put the newer front clip on it...to me the car looks the same...I like though how the 04 has that little lip at the front corners with the loop kind of thing (know what I'm saying???) To me the 03-04 look perfect the way they are! Only thing like I said is to put some different rims perhaps...I'd love to see some 20's on there with chrome 5 spoke to keep it sporty...the x can't fit 20's...well it can but not without modification or no tires or with rubbing...even the 17's have rubbed on mine! The only other thing I'd change is a little tint on the windows....otherwise maybe some nice floor mats with some embroidery or something....perhaps some car audio in the trunk!~? Otherwise thats what you bought the r for is performance right?
That car is awesome man! I can't wait to get my hands on one...

RE: jag_genius and others-- source of parts needed :-) Conversion
Thanks aquill1, are you around florida. If you get me a spare 3.0 Ill port the heads for ya. :-) Add a cam, headers and boom... What HP are the 3.0 Xs at?
I will do the wheel thing, any suggestions... Backspacing, offset, what cars can I borrow from etc.
Thanks again man.
PS does anybody want to buy a Front clip from a 05-06 SType R

RE: jag_genius and others-- source of parts needed :-) Conversion
Yeah for sure! I'd rather just buy the car than try to mod it...you'll end up spending too much money converting it!
Hey abfcamaro...pretty sure its at 227 as far as my mind can remember! Thanks for the offer but I couldn't do anything that would jeopardize my car because I wouldn't be able to afford fixing the thing! I guess the x's drivetrain is pretty weak and adding power is just setting you up to catastrophic failure...
I for sure don't need nor want that! To tell you the truth I'm happy with the power I have on tap...also when you factor in Michigan winters the cars power is even better when I feel so good in it...
The bolt pattern is 5-4.25 (108mm) 5-108
It seems the common width for the rims is around 8 inches...theres a set of 19's off a xk8 that are 8.5 inches wide in front and 9.5 in the rear but they do stick out! Offset like the x-type I think are anything 38-45 from what I could find.
This site is good for all sorts of quality information like wheels that actually fit not just wheels that would fit but would look like crap. Tirerack
Don't like any of the wheels they have for your car though...

RE: jag_genius and others-- source of parts needed :-) Conversion
Havent given up on the idea just yet, just waiting for a more complete bumper and a little more information (and the ebay guy has gone silent with the one I had bought so i scratched purchasing from him).
I looked in the tire rack and like you dont see a wheel I would like. I like something that would look like the monoblock with rivet wheels from amg. Thats what I have on my E320 and LOVE them. They are Sporty and elegant and look bigger than they are due to the design.
Look at attachment for pics. If anybody finds something like it that fits (fits well) let me know please.

RE: jag_genius and others-- source of parts needed :-) Conversion
You really just have to look around a bit and find something you do like. Look everywhere though...it is a fun task to find something you like...you can look online find something on there and than go to your local belle tire or discount tire and they can special order if you feel more comfortable with going to a store to get them. I personally would probably just get a bigger jaguar stock rim like the 19's that jag makes and perhaps chrome them if that were your thing...I know thats what I'd do if I were in your situation...
You probably don't like these....
