Since taking ownership of this car its been through a lot, but its been great!
A little louder than the average jag
Upgraded brakes when they finally had enough
The car was vandalized with brake fluid, which was repaired at which point they came back and poured it all over every single panel on the car
So changed the wheels and next came this

I have no idea who vandalized it, but they did my car and my sisters car and her other car at the time. The satin black was a "make do" originally but now its all black and I did the wheels I really like it so I'm going to spend some time finishing it.
And who doesn't love the sound of a throaty V8 :P, its always especially amusing when people turn round and cant understand at first where all the noise is coming from. Im hoping to have it quite a bit louder in the coming months. I got 113db...but would love to beat the 126 by the others.

Thought you were some local mafia boss when you first appeared cruising up and down the gorge 
After a few passes though I decided I quite liked the "murdered out" (pistonheads words, not mine) look.
I'm not actually sure Cheddar has a local mafia. But if they did I'm sure they'd all drive matt black XJs.

Hmm yes arden do a nice pin stripe with they signiture at one end but then it wouldnt follow this complete black look, also it naturally has a line in the bodywork just below where the pinstripe was which was outcasted when the pinstripe was there....
Next on the list is to fit custom projectors for the HID's, tint the headlights black like the rear lights.
And its soon to be a lot lower...I have an air suspension system ready to go in as soon as I buy the bags.

i like your car,looks great in black.
makes me soooo angry when some b
d does something to someones car.
sounds like someone had something against you or a family member.
i left my elise at tescos for 5 mins a few months ago and when i came back,some bd had left a nice spittle on the roof. i would have ripped his head off if i'd seen him do it. no-where as bad as what happened to yours but just completly outta order.
anyway,looks great now,black and mean.

i fixed mine and they came back that same night and did almost every panel again so thats when i thought id go with this look until i catch them. I didnt want to spend thousands on a new paint job due to value of car and the fact i want something else next year. But that satin black suits it really well, and once i finish it the finish should be pretty reasonable....its annoying not to have caught them but then just got to see the bright side of it and im really liking it all blacked out, much more aggressive

I did like the look of it when I saw it at the Gorge but sadly I didn't get the opportunity to get any pictures. Are you going on the Swindon or Bristol Tunnel run because I would like to get a few pictures assuming it doesn't get attacked again the bds.
The best part about it being satin black is to repair if they came back I'd only have to get out another can lol, and it doesnt bother me so much anymore, I'd drive it out even if it shedded its paint haha.ds.I'm not sure about the bristol tunnel run yet because I'm low on money and its a lot of petrol to get there and back because I live near london. But I do find it hard to turn down a tunnel because I love the sound of my car lol, so I'll see what I can do :P
