The 3M 1080 roof works well with the lines of the XF, esp. with the factory black pack I did mine over 6 months ago and it is the best mod I have done.
Each to there own but I think 15mm rear spacers work well also, but then again I personally like subtle mods.

De-badging the XF is one of the worst things you could've done. The rear of a factory XF is beautiful IMO. The chrome strip with J A G U A R inscribed should've never been messed with. Some cars you can de-badge, like a Chevy, but not an XF. The luxury feel in the car is now gone. The wheels are nice though! Good choice on that! But the staggered option should've been pursued as the sleek front-end of the XF isn't intended for a 22".
Just curious, but if you wanted to de-badge and take the luxury out of the vehicle, why you just didn't get the new charger and do this? I think the mods you are doing would look awesome on that new charger, especially the wheels.

Thanks for all the compliments and comments, I appreciate all those who took time out to check out the pics and comment. Will get the tails tinted soon and I in the process of ordering springs to lower the XF.
The roof and all the chrome is covered in 3M gloss black wrap, easily reversible if I want to change the look. Material is about $65/square yard and labor was $60 an hour in my area.
Thanks again for your insights, and I appreciate the fact that you like my choice of wheels.
Thanks Duke, appreciate the kind words.
My XF still feels like a Jaguar every time I drive it, but I tried to "Luxury" up my friends Chevy, but unfortunately my friend said it did not feel any more "luxurious" despite my best efforts. See pics below TC
Tc,, I think the car looks great.
One dislike- I feel like the wheels are out to far on the front. Did you use spacers or is it the offset of the wheel? Also I think you should lower it.
I love the roof!! It give the car a nice look. Did you 3m wrap in or paint? How much did you spend on the roof? you can pm me about costs on the roof.

awesome
1st-I love the wheels. Cars now a days have enough power to spin those wheels.
2nd- Im painting my roof here soon. I have same color concept.
3rd- de-badging is fine trust me people either know its a jag xf or they just don't care. I took mine off, kinda between an XF-SC and an XFR-SS!!

I've seen this car 1000x around the net but somehow missed this thread. I think it looks great and even the updates that you did in lowering even tho lowering is not my thing but again overall the car looks great! Do you remember the rear offset on your wheels? I have a set of staggered 22s on my XF but just ordered a set of 22x9 all the way around for my fiance's XF and am wondering if I'm going to have to go with a spacer on the rear so the wheels sit flush.
For those of you who chose to ignore the warning, here are some pics of my 2010 Jaguar XF Premium

22x9 Vossen Cv3's in machined/black finish on 245/30/22 tires, non-staggered
Black grille
Blacked out roof, side mirrors and chrome accents
De-badged rear trunk
Black brake calipers
Future mods:
Lowering springs
Rear spacers
Window tint
Tinted tail lights

As always, any and all comments are welcome. Thanks. TC
