So, guess it's time for you to hate my car
Evening Jaguar Lovers,
I've got an announcement to make, which i believe a far amount of you will dislike.
I've taken my lovely Black 5.0 XKR with Speed and Aero pack... and put it on air with brash wheels and big brake calipers. Oh, but i'm not done there!
I've also taken inspiration from Rolls Royce and implemented their unique star light headliner and put it in mine. (very annoying job!) and I have further ruined my car by getting a custom steering wheel made that has shift light at the top, carbon fibre on the top and bottom, alcantara sides and a chopped bottom. (not yet fitted!)
This has been going on over the passed 8 weeks. But, alas, here are the pictures of the car. I absolutely love it. But i know a lot on here will disagree with me!

Looks like a professional job to me... Whats not to like??? Another member did air and also the same to his headliner... Search the forum for Ridicrick or XK60, you should find his build thread, I am sure you will enjoy, if you haven't seen it already... BTW where did you get the steering wheel, I have been thinking of doing similar mod?

You still have a ways to go before you get into "hate" territory.

I've been a Supra owner for decades. Funny you associate Supras and lowering. Mine is dropped an inch and a half (which I think looks perfect) on some pretty stiff springs but, yes, that was something I did when I was young. Unfortunately, now that I'm old and brittle (and the roads haven't been fixed in 30 years either), that's enough to make it impractical for anything but a carefully chosen route to and from a car show. I take it the air system on the OP's XK allows to lift back to a normal ride height when in motion and still retain some comfort. Main thing tho it looks like high quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. Nice work.

Thank you, they're Judd T402's
Thank you, they're AP Racing CP9560's, can give you a link to the people who did them, not cheap though.
I split the headlights and sprayed all the inside black, there's a tutorial on here on how to split them, few screws and in an oven and jobs all good!

I'll take one for you tonight! I can have it at a lowered OEM height (similar to lowering springs) or OEM height or a bit higher than OEM height. I drive it at OEM height, unless i'm going to car shows, when i arrive i lowerer it because then the kids will like me
