This is your personal point of view R_Rated .
I have bought 6 month ago the jag XK 4.2 ( normally aspirated ) Damaged .
I have payed about 10000 $ for the car with 60000 km portfolio version and i had to change to fix it headlights front bumper and right wings Plus some minor mechanical parts .
I bought the new parts from Ebay UK for 3500 $ and the cars looks like new now
totally 16000 $ . With sports exhaust and eletronic 350 HP not to bad ...are enough for italian road ..anyway do you have some helps for front hedlights cabling ?

If you are having to replace the whole front end anyway then that certainly changes the cost/value ratio. At the end of the day, pontificate what would bring you the happiest experience and do that. My only point was that taking a good condidtion car and updating the front end actually decreases the monetary value and desirability to the car. Often times it becomes a slipery slope that leads to having sold the car and bought want you were trying to build would have been cheeper in the long run.
All that being said - It's your car and if you're like myself and several others on here then it may be more about having a project and something fun to build that is more unique than its state when aquired. There is no right answer - just some that are made with logic and some with emotion. Modding is emotion. Not one person here can justify logically a reason to mod an XK of any trim or year. That exhaust at WOT is pure emotion

OR; Get on eBay to trade or sell-then-buy for the correct ones.

To use those 2014 headlights on a 2010 car you will have to replace, the front fenders and the bumper off a 2012 to 2015 plus new grills . no need to replace the hood.
