Default 2010 XK Brakes -> XKR Brakes

Been searching the forum a lot for information on a potential brake upgrade. I have two XKR calipers sitting in storage. I'd like to do a full upgrade of my 2010 XK brakes to XKR brakes--at least calipers and rotors, and whatever else I would need for them to fit. Has anyone done this before? I see some speculation on what to get and if they will fit. There are lots of posts in pieces but I want to hear if anyone has actually done it. My XK has 20" Portfolio Wheels so clearance shouldn't be an issue.

Let me know,
Joey

Parts look the same for XK/XKR except for the booster :

MASTER CYLINDER - COMPONENTS ON DASH PANEL for 2010 Jaguar XK

Awesome. I actually live in Las Vegas so I am going to call Gaudin to see what they can do. I'll let you guys know what comes of that.

Cheers,
Joey

Gaudin won't do it so I may just paint my calipers because I don't feel like stressing to find a company. Womp womp.

Why not go with an AP or Willwood brake kit? Both are British and fitting for such an application.

Because they don't make a bolt on brake kit, that I can see, for a 2010 XK.

I think you may have to dig deeper on that. Just because they do not mention a direct fit does not mean there is one. What other cars are using the same calipers? Are they Atev?

AP Racing mentions kits for Jaguar. Perhaps a call to them when help. I really love the AP Brakes on my Lotus. Very little dusting and grab like no other brake I have owned.
