That's actually pretty nice, I was expecting some horrible insane camber and bozosoku (or whatever) exhausts. Clever putting the AC controls in the glove box, though a bit difficult to reach.

This is pretty nice in my opinion.

I may be missing something, but aren't most of those just pretty stock Jags that have been lowered?

Well, call me old fashioned but red calipers on a Jag...Huh.


For instance, IMO - this does not look nice. But I admit there are other people who might love it. We all have different tastes after all

Check out what they did with some XF's. Doh

Well, some are tackier how about this exquisite XK?


But most are still just nice. Hell, my X-Type is more "modified" than some of those :E I'm not sure all of those are supposed to be "modified"? They look normal.

Saw that a long time ago on a Russian jag forum. As far as I know this X is in Sakhalin, RU. LOL



Aonsaithya - I'm wondering how he turns...or there is no need to make turns for an SUV? Haha
