Default Cosmetic Changes 05 to 06 XJ8

I have recently purchased a 2005 Jaguar XJ VDP and was wondering if it was possible to make it look more like the 2006 model. It appears that the differences are very small including the front grill, the side door molding, and the clear turn signals up front. Is it possible to just remove the door molding and swap out the side turn signal with the smaller clear one on the 06's?

Anyone know the answer to this? Or can someone at least tell me how the side door molding is attached to the car? If it's just some sort of adhesive than I know at least that part of it would be a simple removal.

Yes, but unless your 05 has Xenons it wont be the same as an 06. All 06s came standard with Xenons and also all of them have different wheels (unless you have the Custom 19's)

Crazy 05 looks way nicer than 06 Lol, nobody can bang your doors if you have 05 and clear turn signals look like crapp, I replaced the front grill and headlights I now have xenons and mesh grill, and since I have 19' 5 spoke polished wheels my ride looks badass check out my garage if you dont believe me, btw its good to see you again bmw745 its been two years since we talked xD
