I removed the rims and gave them a cleaning and polish with Solvol Autosol, my favorite metal/chrome cleaner.

Quite a dramatic improvement! No need for any re-chroming, just needed a good clean!

@Carnival Kid

Wonderful! I like this red paint so much. I wish I'd found my Daimler (Sapphire Blue) in that color.

Default Recently acquired 2002 XJR
My recently acquired 2002 XJR. Previous owners were Florida snowbirds, so the car was stored in their garage during the hot months. 38,000 miles. The chrome grill surround was reportedly special ordered by the original purchaser. Another Quartz Dark Gray car.

Default XJR in her dancing shoes....
So, after many months of work, and getting ready for the British Display Day, that also included the JDCA Display Day, she got 3rs in the D'Splay Class, behind a D-Type replica....

Loving it.

There are a number of threads on this (one I made many years ago)....mainly titled Brembo or Brake Upgrade just follow it with x308 to get specific results. Thing is they are near impossible to obtain because they were only available a couple of years and mainly on XKR's. I've been looking for a set for years that didn't cost an arm and a leg. I'm going to go with a set of S-Type R's (already have them)...I need to modify the the mounting points.

The end of a beautiful, almost-Fall Sunday, and as the sun showed signs of setting, and I sipped on a cold beer, I couldn't help but admire the lines of these X308s and took a pic. Classic style!
