I have bought a 2010 front bumper from Ebay which needs paint and had no grills but 8bit was kind enough to let me buy his old one's as he updated his car with the black pack grills. They were a little scuffed and dirty so planned to paint them in the same colour as my wheels but after a good clean up and some polish they came out pretty nice! 😊





Not decided if I'm gonna paint them. 😊

Will prefit the bumper in a few weeks when the car is off the road for winter and then get it painted, will be a nice upgrade for next year. 😊

Peter I've always toyed with the idea of the either the xk60 front lip or 2010 front bumper just feel the standard bar is lacking

Exactly, I like the more modern and aggressive look of the 2010 bumper.

That really does suck bigtime. Do you think it was deliberate? Hard to see how that could happen accidentally. It must be really really depressing for you.

‘’looking for parts to fix the other 4K they recommended, brakes, $2k, lower ball $2K. All of which I will do myself.

I updated this thread a few weeks back with current part numbers and prices if you want to go the OEM route for suspension parts... Along with some documentation of some of the work to DIY...

So you got both body and wheel damage?
Someone backed into you and just took off.
Had something similar on my other car while parked at work, but the woman left a note “I didn’t think anyone would be parked there at that time of day”. Idiots.

Default Backup Camera

Installed a rear view mirror/backup camera on my ‘09 XK. I decided to take the easy, no buttons to hit, no extra screens option that still leaves the parking sensors working.

I have thought about doing this for a front camera...

This mirror does auto-dim. My understanding is that only ‘07 my had outside dimming. I never noticed it so if I don’t have it now I won’t miss it.
