Hofele Jaguar XK Body Kit/Conversion
Has anyone seen this kit? I did a search and couldn't find anything...
Personally, I really like it! The grill seems to be modeled after an Aston and they offer yet another style of quad tail lights. It makes the XK something totally else!
Only thing is they don't state how much the kit costs... Someone call them
Here's a link for those too lazy to Google
Hofele Design | Jaguar XK 8 + XKR Tuning | Car Body & Design
I wish they applied the kit to a coupe... Once I'm ready to buy a new car in a year or so, I think this is the way I'm going to go. It satisfies my liking for the DB7's design while being more practical... Plus I don't have to deal with those horrible DB7 tail lights!
On a side note, does anyone make a billet grill for the XK? Ive never seen one...

I think it would look a lot better if the grill was chrome. I think the new audis have that plastic looking big grill... Maybe that's where they got their inspiration? It'd also look better on a coupe I think...
Still though, I think ill have to go with the Aston when I'm ready. The lines, although similar to the XK, are 10x more pleasing. The v12 is not bad either!!

I liked the quad tail lights and contacted the company. They referred me to their North American subsidiary who told me that they no longer carry the tail lights any more. I didn't ask about the rest of the body kit but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't carry any of it any more.

Well that sucks... I guess they weren't getting enough orders? I bet at least the tail lights wouldve sold well if more people knew about them. I stumbled upon their page on accident while googling. Maybe one of their other locations stock them or have a few left over? Maybe they would start producing them again if enough people showed interest? I guess this will be a really rare add on... I wonder how many cars have it installed...

Not a big fan. It seems to be trying to put Ferrari-esque(360) features on a Jag. The xk's are already gorgeous so I couldn't imagine trying to change it much. I do dig the LED lights though, especially the Audi ones. But yeah the nose is too long on this kit, kinda ruins the fluid lines of the hood for me. To each his own though.

Can you post some pics of yours with the mina's? I really don't like how mina's just glue together. A member on the board actually gave me set. I assume he wasn't happy with the fit. How did you contact Hofele? Was it throught there website. I emailed and sent a price inquiry though the site and messsaged through Youtube. If I don't hear back soon I'm thinking of have someone in Germany call.
