With plastidip, it peels right off. With the paint you used, I'm sure just regular paint stripper would work as it's stainless. Unless of course you wanted another layer of paint.

Nice Dan, looking good Sir.

 

Here is the emblem, all metal, incredible quality too. Metal R Logo Trunk Emblem for Jaguar XF XFR XK XKR Supercharged Badge Sticker | eBay

 

Greetings DJ-Roy! I really like the front spoiler as well. No, it isn't necessary here in Oklahoma (USA) where the speed limit is 75mph, either, but it looks so good! I also really like the side skirts. I think they clean up the lower part of the car so that the jacking points, etc., are not visible. I don't have plans to lower it or go to bigger wheels, but, hey, who knows?

 

Thanks, ObaXJR, you provided the nudge.

 

R badge ordered after seeing this thread.

Now where can I get some of them leaper side repeaters?

 

Any pics of this body kit and spoiler?

 

Arden springs are nice, they are on my list ,or maybe custom springs at customer wish from the UK .

Before putting the kit it on the car,

Can you take the 4 pieces to a shop and have them mold and then made in carbon ?

There are many shops who can make molds and make them in any fabric...


I take one set of you for sure ,.

 

Google 'Arden aj13' and you should get to their website. Lots of images out there for your viewing enjoyment!

 

I decided to follow XJR Prototype's lead and black-out the chrome surround on the rear badges. I got the 'Jaguar" badge done today and will do the other this week. I also applied electrical tape to the chrome around the headlights on one side to get an idea of what they would look like blacked-out. What do you think?

 

I prefer the chrome over the black. If you're going to keep that blacked-out look, I would HIGHLY suggest you paint the wheels and "whole" grill black. Also, it's just about mandatory to add 5% tint all the way around, with a window strip to make your XJR one bad-*** ride.

 

I prefer the chrome, Unless you tint your headlamps. If not it looks like the lights are too small for the opening. IMO However the black badge, grill and moldings look bitchin

Okay, I'm loving the 'R' emblem. Gotta get one too!

 

I sold the car for 8400!! WHOO HOOO!!!! Now i'm on the Hunt for an 05 XJR. FOund a sweet one cheap but its a salvage.

 

To BadAssXJR;

Let us all know about those valve cover decals as my factory ones are peeling off and the left side has none. Will they stand up to under-hood heat?

Thanks again!

 

Yes it will handle the heat for sure. I need the measurements since I sold my car.

 

Before and after......

 

The valve cover decal is 6 1/16"th long and 1 3/16"th's high.

I have pictures of the engine, but can't attach them here. If you have an e-mail address I'll send them along. but I think you know what they look like.

 

SNG Barratt has the repeaters (turn signals) you asked about and they are about 130 USD, each.

 

Looks good! Gotta get me one.
