Hi painter, im in the process myself of adding some (more daily!) new metal. Just taxed my Xkr '98 after a sorn period so as to motc her for the coming year. Took her out for a good "Tromp"(bye she goes well!) and on my return looked under at the rear jacking points/sills-arrrrr. Holes + very bubbly...

Thanks Nik, might just follow you up on those later in the year if thats ok
Cheers - Tom

Thanks Nik for your reply, yes- was thinking along those lines or may manufacture my own ( vehicle building background).
Like the possibility of widening rear end along with side skirts !
Thanks Michael- but , er- no thanks, bit negative.

Come on guys, dont be scared to post a reply

Hi guys, like some of you i am running my '98 XKR on a shoe string (that dosent exist), and the"Boss" puts the black hat on every time i start a sentence with "The Jag"!! Ha. Anyway,whats the best action to take immediately as the nearside rear arch has corroded thru (bumper side) and bubbling at ot...

Hi all,cut a long storey - short, just worked thru a 25yr love/hate relationship with Australia! Had to sell my pride and joy XKR in 2009 in Brisbane that i took over wth us in 2007 . Not all bad news, i did get $ 50,000 aus. Cost me £16,100.00! Shortly after i fell ill with ankolising spondilits (s...

Hi guys-IM BACK ( Australia's out of my system-at last!), anyway, i took my XKR down under and with my first tax rebate ripped the "well over strangled zorst" off and had a 2.5 inch cat back pipes, cross over for balance before axle and highly polished back boxes,with twin tips both sides. The sound...

Arrrrrrrrrh- i've got the dreaded rattle some where in the rear. will have to try looking at all the usual points like hand brake cable/shocker bushes. So anoying when you just get your car looking mint! Having her rust proofed and undersealed before fitting a new sports exhaust- Cat back/s/steel 2 ...

Hi- people , have recently fitted grooved/dotted discs from EBC along with Red stuff pads. They sounded like a great idea but not so sure now! Last weekend we attended a show and shine day at Queensland Raceway (we moved to Brisbane in Oct.2007) and after the presentations ,for a mere $30- (£15- ) w...

The rear lights look FANTASTIC and along with my newly fitted 20" wheels (OZ Racing- Deep dish) .Now I need to lower the beast. Photo's will soon follow!

O.K.- I have looked and listened and have gone for the arden units from Elite-they are on offer at mo. for £495+vat+£15 pack- Down from £800+!!!!!!!! Let yous know more when they arrive. oh-you have to paint them also!

Well Harewood has come and GONE yet again! A day that most of us northerners can't wait for! With sore fingers from all that polishing and an XKR (still pinch my self) fully loaded -including two kids, we set off with dreams of lifting the TROPHY in the "pride and joy". We arrive - alittle dissapion...

Have you seen the ones that Zeemax provide, they look like the Arden units. Yes John they look great -but at £650 +vat they are too-o-o expensive for me!

Many thanks :Sharfrs2: for the info on dual rear lights. Yes i think i should have guessed their service is naf -cos i tried to buy a gear knob of which never arrived and took 3 months to get a refund !

Joined at last ! Only taken me a year !!! Anyway -has anyone purchased/fitted a dual light conversion from Jaguar XP.com. If so what quallity are these units? Their price seems more resonable than some @$775-. See you at Harewood (Northern Meet) in pride and joy section.
