Default Can anyone tell me what kind of jag this is?

I was browsing the web for some nice looking stanced jags and I came across a photo... I could not find a description for the car just a photo... Im hoping someone can help me identify this car. Im assuming it is an 1996 xj8 but I dont know much about these cars.

looks like a 95 X300 6 cylinder car by the grill shape, but it's got x308 bumpers, either way it's an XJ X300/308 with one of those god awful J-Complete body kits...

Yes, it's a X300 (generation before X308), with a body kit and fancy wheels. Body kits are not my cup of tea either, but this car looks NICE.

An X300 that has been 'blinged' with those pimped over size wheels and running those illegal lower lights....to each his own i suppose but do it to another marque.
Not as bad as some I've seen.
Pimp muh rard!

We had this kind of lowered X308 for sale some months ago:

Jaguar XJR 4.0 V8 Supercharged Automaatti Porrasperä 1998 - Vaihtoauto - Nettiauto

Way too low for my taste and rims are too big.

Not sure what makes the lower lights a violation of the law, as the production X300 has fogs located there.....though the pictured ones, as well the rest of the caricature is clearly a violation of good taste and propriety.

I do find the paintwork to have an excellent shine largely free of micro-scratches and hazing!

In referance to my statement.....I meant to say that here, it is illegal to use both low or high beams in conjunction with fogs....either one or t'other.
Those lower lights are defo not fogs, they look more like driving lights which is even worse.

I rather like the rim style and finnish but at least 2" to big....they just spoil the look of the whole package.
Paintwork defo does not need claying! ;o)=)

thought the original pic at the start of the thread looked cool. taking a closer look at the car, especially the interior i can say there are few details that i like, very very few. probably the ONLY item i find somewhat appealing are the wheel opening flares and that's about it. the front bumper cover looks like a hideous add-on that it really is. same for the rear. no need to waste time on the interior. i do like the RHD in these cars.

Yes I agree, but I do NOT like it. It is a pimp car, ready to rumble the Bronx.
But then again, taste is different.
Agressive looking though!
