Wow us with your XK8/R photos
#1541
After an extended search I finally nabbed a new family member. This a 2006 XK8 with under 54,000 miles. It comes with complete service records, no rust, a pre-mature 60,000 mile service, new hydraulic hoses, new tires, refurbished alloy wheels and more. This beauty will make a great condo car and the fact that it's silver it won't fry in the Palm Springs heat.
I want to thank this forum's members for the tips and info I received prior to the purchase. It was a tremendous help! THANKS!

Right now my Kitty is purring in the sunshine and not moaning. She loves to ride the wind at night during the summer on the freeways. Definitely a nocturnal animal during the hot months and hides from the sun due to a fear of skin cancer.

Just my mostly stock 2003 XK8 nearly daily driver. No good "posed" photos yet. I've really got to do that with some nice backgrounds now that spring is finally here. 82F today and I did snap a couple in the parking lot. Not as clean as it should be as it's pollen season here now! I just love the lines of this car! It's got me wanting to add another to the stable. Like maybe an XKR Coupe!

Slazz, XK8 Rebel & Rossettequarrier & your XK8's
Slazz, I'll pick you 1st, as you need to stop worrying about the Paint fading and drive the car....You can always Paint it!
Now, for all of you.....You need to bring you XK out of the past.....Get rid of the Amber Side Marker Lens and buy some Clear ones.....also, you need to get some Clear Repeaters.....
Now, for Rossette......? (What's that all about?), behind those Jaguar Emblems on your Front Fenders is wiring for Repeater Lights (Blinkers)! Just push them forward a little or is it backwards? or does it matter? and they will come off.
go to eBay and you will find Repeaters and Side Marker Lens...It's easy!
I did the trick to my XKR last year and I really like the way it looks! If you like it and you need help with how to do the Job....Just let me know!

Thanks for the advice - I may well do this. Question for you - did you leave the rear reflectors red? I cannot quite make it out in the pic you posted. Cheers!
PS the Rosetta reference is a long story; I stick with it as it's always available :-)

Your link doesn't work. I've toyed with replacing the side marker lights behind the wheel wheel in clear. Just need to track down a set I know will work for a reasonable price.

I appreciate the mono theme with many colors but after going back and forth with my white wonder I quite prefer the amber and red bit of color it adds to the car.
What do you think?

Your car would look great with the black background leaper emblems on the side and blinkers moved up to the front like I did.

eBay website....
Sorry about the eBay website.....I had just gone to that Website and looked at all those things....Clear repeaters & Clear Side Markers...saved the address and posted it on the forum......as you can see! But it won't work!
It was an eBay website from England...I will continue to look for it Tonight.....As it had everything!
WYMJYM, You have a beautiful White Convertible! Red, Amber or Clear....doesn't matter!!!!good luck with it!
Rothwell, I still have my Leapers from my old 2000 XKR....They are either Red or Black...Can't remember for sure....Thanks for reminding me! But the Repeaters I have now are Crystal and really look great.....

First off, beautiful car... Clear leans tinted black might look pretty sharp on white car... Would give it a more modern look while still having contrast... just my thoughts...
