not sure about this, the bumpers don't look right, makes the car look heavy/clumsy. Less is more.

Wow! When I did mine, I thought an all black wheel would be too modern for the classic body style. Guess I was wrong! I may be back to the drawing board. That thing looks killer!

I think it looks silly, the bumper is totally wrong for the car, and the spoilers do just that, Spoil it! Some cars look good with body kits, spoilers and Fast and Furious stick on bits, but some are an entire world apart.

On second viewing, I have to agree that the bodykit is too boxy. I still like the wheels and the stance very much (don't know how practical the stance would be for real world driving, but that's clearly not the intention here). I also like the all-black scheme.

I would agree about the overall lines of the car. The designers at jaguar took 40 years worth of refinements to the same basic concept to arrive at the x308. it is just about perfect as is. IMO they went too far with the x350 and added a lot of heaviness to the bottom of the car which throws off the near perfect proportions. similar to how the kit does to this car.

The only thing I would add to this would be the silhouette of a Playboy bunny cutout in the back window. And they don't show the leopard skin fuzzy dash cover. Now where did I leave my pink felt hat with the ostrich feather in it.....?

It's probably hanging up on the boomarang aerial on the trunk lid :-)

I thought that was the whole point of a nice luxury ride, you don't have to turn it into some ghetto ricer to gain self worth? haha :P all this needs are some big fat 'glass packs' right or to cut off the exhaust completely haha.. thats what I see.

I like the x350 04-07, I think they're much better made all around. That is a big deal to me. Dependability, and I really like the 08 models.

I don't like these Audi style LED Daytime lights that all new cars seem to have. They look really silly, espescially when retrofitted to cars. Sadly the other day I saw an X308 with a pair on, being driven by an old guy. I was even more shocked when I saw the back, he appears to have reversed into a Tacky Blackpool seaside shop!

This car is build by www.j-complete.com and there are pics of a few more other VIP Jaguars there.

They also sell these bodykits and have 2 differet types. The one in the pic you posted i can agre doesn´t lock very very good but the other one they have are a lot nicer more like the Arden ones.

If i keep my XJR one of these kit will most likely be fitted to it. Search for bit s and peices like this for ages and just found it a month or so ago
