Here is my modified Jaguar XK8. Lowered on Eibach springs, Powerflex bushes, braided brake hoses, rebated black mesh grille, stainless sports exhaust with ceramic coated tips, powder coated wheels, laser cut leaper sprayed body colour, body colour calipers, side vents, bonnet vents and rear-facing cowl, custom rear spoiler, smoked lights, Lamborghini Arancio Borealis paint.

Kind of a Marmite car. But I love it.

It's certainly marmite!

I like it a lot, not sure on the grill badge or chrome detailing, but otherwise good effort!

Lose the rear spoiler and that'll look pretty awesome!

The orange is cool and looks surprisingly good on the car; I didn't imagine it being a Jag friendly hue.

I don't however like the detail changes you've made or the interior colour against said paint.

Fair play to you for having the conkers to go nuts cool

Why go for orange, out of interest?

Not too sure on the colour. Bit too understated for me

I'm undecided, however the rear wheels are crying out for a set of spacers

Thx for the comments. The chrome detailing is all OE. I am trying to dechrome the car. The rear light rings are proving tricky.

I wanted a colour that echoed '60s US muscle cars and that led me to lime green, purple or orange. The first two didn't work for me or the car. Then I saw House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl and from there to Lambo Arancio Borealis. Certainly turns heads biggrin

Fair play, that's quality. I'm not a big fan of the grille badge but the rest of it is cracking.

I hope it is as loud as it looks.

I like it all bar the chrome on rear lights but as you said you are looking to remove those. I'd happily drive that around, I bet you usually have a grin on your face when you're out and about in it. As said earlier, hope it sounds as loud as the colour.

That looks really cool i like it alot. Is it possible to space out the rear wheels so they fill the arches a bit more? I dont want to use the word stance but it would suit the aggressive look a bit more.
