Nice pic ! can you take a shot directly from the rear ive been throwing up the idea of a diffuser myself.

 

Sure, here are a couple. I'm guessing this is a XKR-S difusser in black instead of carbon, but really have no idea as it, and the tips, along with the side skirts, were on the car when I bought it.

Cheers.

 

New wheels!

 

Nevis wheels ))) my fav

 

I would like to know, because I don't know already....
The Nevis wheels fit the 2010+ cars with the E-diff and a much different offset on the rear than the 2007-2009 cars.
Are there two offsets for the rear Nevises? Spacer for this 2007??

 

where did you purchase the engine cover?

 

It may be a bit of a wait for a reply, LstFord hasn't been active in a year and a half.

 

I'm guessing definitely spacers ceejay

 

I’ve wondered for a while now if these lights are interchangeable?

 

LOVING the rear deffuser, been wanting one for my XKR. Is this a jag option or custom?

 

Two different body styles. There was a facelift in 2012 with the new style lights. To change from the 2007-2011, you would have to change the entire front clip. It's cheaper to sell the old car and buy the newer one.
However, to get the darkened appearance shown by dude's comparison, you could either tint the current headlights with headlight tint, or disassemble the housings and darken the shiny bits with paint or something. People have done both methods.

 

I've noticed that the number of new posts in the X150 forum has fallen off over the last month; perhaps people putting their cars away for the winter.

Maybe I should, too.

 

I put away my X100 and STR for the winter so needed another car to drive, so I bought an X150 as a daily driver. Best of all worlds.

 

My XKR looks grim at the moment too. I actually had to ferry a client back and forth to the studio - 100 mile round trip along back roads - on the worst day of Storm Ciaran. The car ended up looking like I'd been green lane-ing in it! I was too ashamed to post a picture of it.

Unfortunately for the car, but fortunately for me, putting it away for the season isn't an option. I am looking forward to our first winter together with nervous anticipation...

 

On the matter of winter, has anyone dealt with windows frozen to the point that you couldn't open the door?
If so, how did you resolve this issue?

I mean in a scenario where eg a friend you're visiting doesn't have any indoor garage and the car was left for the night in below 0 temperature etc

 

Assuming it might get that cold here this winter, I have been looking at the various rubber treatments on the market that claim to stop the seals from freezing shut. I have already been using a Liqui Moly product that doesn't specifically mention protection from icing, just rejuvenation etc.

 

Vaseline works but attracts dirt. 303 Rubber Seal Protectant also works really well.
In my younger days in colder climes I'd use a regular ChapStick stick once a month or so and I didn't have any frozen out problems, and that's in -30 F and lower temps. Turtle Wax also works, just regular paste wax.
Whatever you use, remember to do ALL the seals around the door and glass, there are several. Waxing the metal parts where the seals contact also helps a lot.

 

Don’t be nervous of the car, she handles the cold weather, wonderfully… as long as you have winter tires on her.
DO be nervous of the other drivers.

 

Did someone mention winter storage?

 

Perfect color combo! Is this botanical green?
