Well, here the final pics. I have just taken it this morning under the sunlight but today the car has more dust. And I don´t want to be too boring with pictures from my car so until I do some new upgrade I will not upload more pics jejej









PD. As you can see I live too far from the beach and sea jejej

Regards!

Nice Jag!

Man, that is so ideal. I would love to just go to Barcelona chill on La Rambla with a beer in one hand, tappas in my lap and a fine senorita around my other hand!

Absolutely fabulous job, racaz! That car looks freakin' awesome with the fresh paint!Really seems to be money well spent. I can't wait to see it with the new rims.

Just out of curiosity, what stereo are you leaning toward getting?That is my next upgrade also, so I'm gathering information as well.

beelab43 I don´t know yet what I will do with the audio system. I´m a great car audio fan and I have had enormous installations in other cars but now is different with the Jag; for this car a prefer something simpler, with high sound quality and maybe a professional installation... it wouldn´t be cheaper and I have some doubts about the source unit, touchscreen... I have to think thoroughly about many things before doing nothing.

Well, finally I have installed the new wheels Dunlop SP 9090 225/40/18 + Ronal R-38. Now I´m looking forward to receive the Borla exhausts I have already bought and it will be completed (more or less jejej). I hope you like it!





PD. I will try to find the Jaguar central badges; I prefer it instead the one from Ronal

Holy hell man, that leather make-over is insane!

I know a ton of buddy's of mine who would love to revive their seats.

Could you write maybe a small write-up on how you exactly went about it? Looks fantastic!

Hi,

I´m happy you like it. Well, I used the treatment from http://www.carleatherdye.co.uk/

Firstly I needed to apply several coats of the Gliptone conditioner to clean anddry thetrim. Two coats each daytil I see it was enough (IbelieveI applied around 6 coats, I consumed almost500 ml). After it I applied the special dyer they prepared for my Jaguartrim (they will ask you about the reference to prepare and sell you the exactly one you need). And with the dyer I also applied several coats to all seats and door panels and I fix a lot of small scratches, staints... I had not showed on pictures here. And on the driver seat, where the situation was worse, I applied more coats to improve it and you can see the final look on the pictures.

Anyway there are same leather cracks that was too much deep and you can see there now if you see with detail but the improvement has been awesome.

Now I´m exploring other treatments from a spanish leather specialist maybe I can improve more the look on future sessions.

I hope you understand my explanations.

Regards!
