Welcome aboard!
I went from a 2007 Benz (E550) to my 2012 XKR and haven't looked back. The E550 was the ultimate sleeper car with a surprising amount of V8 power, but the XKR took that to a whole new level. The CL55 is obviously well above the E550, but I suspect you will experience a similar feeling of having stepped up every time you walk up to the XK. (On looks alone. lol)
Enjoy the ride!

Thankyou for your comments.
I love the car, i wanted the vents and yet the simplicity and economy of the 4.2.
The vents and the front pair of grills are the only mods i will be doing. However i keep looking at exhaust systems
Regarding the two grills, despite the fitting instructions saying the front bumper removal was neccessary. The front bumper removal was not necessary, the old grill came out undamaged from the front and the new pair placed in from the front.

Car looks sensational with the new upper and lower grilles the xk60 special edition had these come out with the mesh however they also added a lower lip
In terms of the xk having the better fuel economy forget that due to the fact of the larger revs to get it going unlike the xkr which has power everyehere
My current fuel consumption roughly 15mpg

Yes the xk60 is a beautiful example of how a subdue body kit can actually improve the looks of xk
I think youve inspired me to get the upper and lower grilles they simple transform the front end of the car
Did you go through mina or adamesh also tell me more about the red jaguar badge ie dimension/price
