Thanks Jim
you have obviously been reading of my exploits in other places to , lol
the colour isnt original , as its Fords new ' Frozen white ' as used on the new RS , but the colour white is original to the car , as was the Mulberry ( burgundy ) leather interior , and i think the ' whiter ' rather than ' creamy white ' works much better

Hey 'Buster, Very nice, clean job. -Is the Rear Spoiler a Jag factory jobbie? -I'm debating myself whether to find something similar, as I find with the convertible folded roof 'hump' behind the seat, on the pre-facelift(older) XJS, I cannot see the rear trunk lip or judge how close I park to something. It would also take away the drop tail look.

thanks lads
yes, the whole body kit is genuine Jaguar , its the Jaguarsport/TWR kit that was fitted from 1998 onwards in the UK ,
the rear spoilers do actually work at speed , and hunker the car down a little more , to the point that buffers have to be fitted under the bottom of the boot lid to stop it pushing dont into the paintwork
i took the pics on my iPhone, and it hasnt picked up the chrome in the pic that well , it is all new chrome , and it was a ' bright day , so the car has full chrome

after the front end rebuild with a mix of new and salvaged panels on top , this picture was taken 18 months into the project,
as i sold my house and had to move the project , this was 5 mins before loading her onto a trailer to go to the new property ,
with a larger garage with workshop.
