Anyone know where I can purchase one, preferably in California to keep shipping costs down? Can be scratched (prefer not split). Any color.
Imported a fiberglass one from the UK at great expense, but just can't get it to fit properly.
Model is a 2001 XKR conv.
Any leads on this hard to find piece would be welcome.
Thanks,
Tim

You should of told me you was still having trouble, everyone seems too apart from me

They are not the best in the world but they can be made to fit OK
You need to bolt the top edge down first then bolt the sides up, then you can start playing with the gaps.
The sides are never a problem it is the top edge that gives people grief because there is a slight twist in the mould, hence the idea of bolting the sides up first.
I might need a 'busmans' holiday

Just found THIS one on eBay... Bit of a bargain might be worth asking the question if they would send State side, I can not see it staying up for long!!

Hey XKRacer,
I haven't had time for the Jag due to having twins, but I'm just about to move house and it got me thinking about moving the car, and hence the bumper again.
You did tell me that the mould was slightly mis-shapen, so I'm not blaming anyone, it's just that I can't for the life of me get it to fit. I've tried sides first, top first, top and one side, other side and top. You name it, I just can't quite get enough pressure on it to get it to fit. I was wondering if there was a slightly less frustrating way of going.
I followed the link to the eBay bumper which is a real bargain, however the shipping is looking to be 4-500 GBP. Ouch! It only weighs 18kg, so that must just be pure volume. If only I could piggyback on someone shipping a car in a container - trouble is, most of the car shipments seem to be in the other direction.
I'll keep looking and perhaps try to set up a relationship with the bodywork manager at my local Jag dealer :-)
If you want to holiday in San Diego, let me know.....
