..that the XJ-S didn't start life as a 2 door XJ6 :shock:

I can't quite decide what's the worst bit...

It could be the spoiler, the black bumpers, or the fact that the leading edge of the rear wing doesn't line up with the door top...

but, on reflection, it's probably the chrome stick-on wheel arch trims, encouraging the rust underneath!

Nah, it's definitely the door to rear wing misplacement, it just grates on the eyeballs. If you were going to do that much panel work, surely you could have made a better job of the lines! Of course the shut lines from the B Pillar forward run a close second to the poor completion of the work.

I've just realised that the rear screen is a standard XJ front windscreen. That's quite clever! Shame about the rest of the car!
