That's a thing of beauty! No questions a drop transforms a car like this. Even already low exotics transform when fender gap is removed. Witness a stock NSX vs one lowered on wheels that fill the fenders. It becomes one of nastiest looking cars bar none.
My Z4M became downright exotic after wheels and a drop. And our beloved XKR blows it away in stock form. So you know what that means after I drop it on some killer wheels right! I even like it without tint as I was initially debating removing my tint... Anyhow, thanks for the inspiration pics Pacio.
But you do realize that you're gonna have to keep posting pics because we can never get tired of looking at it!

I will try and measure it today, but as it is if im not carefull at the speedbumps or multi-story car park ramps i hit the underside of the splitter but thats about it. Can be avoided, you just have to try and remomber to slow down.

As far as sound goes i have also removed the silencers or "air pockets" from both intake pipes (6 in total) (in uk we call them intake baffles) and installed track performance ITG foam filters instead of paper ones.
The effect?
This is not just my opinion but alot of people i met on Car meetings and cruises agree this is the most meaty, meanes and deepest V8 Roar they ever heard.
Total cost is about 5000GBP for such setup.
Additionaly had the upper pulley upgrade and a bespoke remap, the car was dynoed at 503 bhp
But it does not feel like 80 bhp extra, it feels like a whole new car as its more agressive, stiffer and louder as you drive it now and its what i wanted to achieve

I used my iphone 4 while in park with a buddy 5 feet behind the bumper. Started it up and gave a couple revs then shut it down. My after will be the same. I haven't uploaded it yet but the quality on the phone playback is really good.

Pacio,
Just ordered some Mina springs and exhaust. How about posting some more pics to hold me over ;-) Seriously I'm still on the fence on the spacers. Was thinking I should just get some wheels. Since my tires are new I'll only need wheels. But that is another $4k or so...
I'm also wondering if the drop will pull the top of wheels in even more so I'll def need spacers or wheels...

And here is a little something to show off the performance upgrades and remap on my Jag. Raced against a 500bhp Supra on this video. Actually raced him 3 times winning every one, he always tought it must be something he did wrong with his driving as he never lost against any XKR before![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Also raced a 4.2 Audi R8 that evening with success, still trying to hunt down the lad who was on the camera for that one![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
