Default My car

Had a photoshoot the other day with my car so thought I'd share some of the images. Hope you guys like!

Looks like it fell out of an airplane and the suspension broke. Ouch.

Those red headlights make the car look evil. The slammed look is not for me though it still doesn’t detract from the beauty of the beast.

I’ll wager you’re careful where you drive it.

Cool super slammed look. Not my cuppa tea for my car, cause the roads aren't great around here.
Red accent on the lights look cool, are those halos or something else.

Tremendous, not seen that before on our cars. I assume the lights are just for show.

Lights are fully functional, i can have them flashing or solid colours, but the normal light (when turned on) goes over the light so still legal haha

As stated before, it's on air so i can ride at OEM height just fine, perfect for any road!
They are a little module that is designed for a C63S that i retro fitted into the light cluster

Can't say slammed or murdered (i.e. all blacked out) is to my liking, but the car is stylistically consistent with that look.

How's handling on bags when driving?

Only black bit i added was the lights, everything else is the stock Black Pack.

It's a bit stiff, but I owned a track spec Evo 8 before this, so I'm used to hard rides

First, beautiful photos. Second, impressive and integrated look. As with others, not my choice in how to roll - kind of reminds me of a lowrider. But it's your car and you've done an admirable amount of work to get it just the way you want it.

Are the rims aftermarket or stock Jaguar with the Black Pack? Thanks.

What's the deal with the red headlights? Never seen that before. Gives the car a demonic look. Can you do a cat's eyes look?

Great pictures!

Thank you for the kind words

The wheels are aftermarket, they're Judd T402's

Thank you!

Thanks. Those wheels don't seem to be available in the US. But very cool!

Pauleddy:
Wow, great job on the car and the photoshoot. I bet it's even more ominous in person!

Did you use a fancy camera or a smartphone? I understand the new iPhone 12 shoots video in Dolby Vision.

Red headlights in the USA will get you free room and board and a new suit until your trial and thereafter. If they're flashing, they throw the key away!

Wassa matter, you guys never see a mean, crouching cat before? Kudos to Pauledddy for taking the Jag to another design level. I'm pretty conservative, but love to see different interpretations of any given car. Alright, who's gonna skyjack their Jag! I'd turn mine into a gasser, but that has been done (1974 Jaguar XJ12 ? The Draguar! ? Roadkill). I suppose it is more of a rat rod, but it is all good.
