Default Bought my first XKR!
Hi all

Just bought my first Jaguar XKR 2007 black. It arrives on 15th August and I cannot wait!!

Pictures to follow when I've got it.

So... What shall I do to it!?!? New alloys for sure.

A deep 'super' clean will be first on my list. Get the clay bar, foam gun and wax on it for a deep clean.

Suddenly you will be more than happy to run for bread or milk anytime it is needed. Even sometimes when it's not.
Pull fuse 19.
Replace or at least test your battery.
I use a battery tender... nightly... some do not.
Lock your doors "twice" to shut down electronics everywhere you go.
Get a radar detector/jammer.
Look for water in the passenger footwell.
If dry keep looking occasionally. (easy fix)
Start looking for new rear tires.
Need pictures as soon as possible.
Welcome.

I dunno. The steering wheel looks out of place. Almost like it's on the wrong side.
