Default Finally got pictures taken of my 1 month old xkr

here's my new xkr, 2007, went a bit over the top with pictures but got a bit carried away, chrome vents, mirrors, handles and boot details, 20" rs futura alloys, these are polished spokes with stainless steel outer rim, can be replaced if ever start to fade or damage, upgraded exhaust, past owner got it from the UK, full system, sounds even better than the factory xkrs exhaust and that's something, don't know who manufactured it, speed pack boot spoiler, hope ye like. This is Ireland on a lovely day, the Atlantic Ocean in the back ground the next stop would be the USA but i don't think i make it by sea.

I love the R on the front grill. I used to do that with my m3. id put the "M" logo on the front too. slight off center and it looks flawless

On a lovely sunny day Ireland is one of the nicest countries there is, but we usually get 4 seasons in one day. My plctures are in the north west of Ireland, a beach area called Mullaghmore, in ths county of Sligo, there's great pictures on the internet a lot of hoilday homes and a lovely hotel called the Pier Head, very quiet with fishing boats and sailing boats all using the lovely pier, Stunning views, mountains, greenery,water, and when the sun comes out a perfect place to show off an XKR.

Love the pictures and the car especially. I love all the chrome bits, I did the same thing to my black Range Rover..... every chrome trim piece I could add I did and I get compliments all the time on it so im sure given yours is a Jag you get a ton. Enjoy....

Thanks John, i'm a great fan of bling, but getttng the balance right is key, it can look tacky and dosn't look well if taken too the extreme. This is far as i'm going, was thinking of instaling stainless mesh front grills, but have originals painted with reflective chrome paint and seems to look ok. Another point that other members thread is brake caliper decals. When i got the car i cleaned and sprayed calipers with caliper heat resistant gloss red, got my local design shop to copy the R design off the rear badge onto heat resistant vinyl sticker, size is spot on ,fits perfect and won't fade.

We took a trip to Ireland a few years back and it was beautiful and fun. Stayed at B&B's traveling down the southern cost line starting from Sharon AP. Ended up in Dublin and had a great time. Every time I have a Guinness it brings me back. LOL
