There were I believe 4 identical XKR's used in filming the Bond movie Die Another Day. They were custom modified by Ford and were actually just bodyshells stuck on top of a Mondeo chassis, so they could get the 4wd for the ice scenes.

The wheels look pretty much like standard 20" Detroits. The body kit/bonnet scoops are now available from various Jag specialists, without too much searching. A few cars are available to view, one is in the national collection at Beaulieu and another is owned by the JDHT, who regularly loan it out to dealerships etc for promotions. It made an appearance recently at the MPH-06 show at the NEC and Earls Court.

The following aren't great but may help you a bit.

The wheels are BBS 20" Detroits in Champagne. Your local jag dealer should be able to get a set for you. I believe the bodykit was a one off designed and built by the Jaguar SVO department. I'm sure someone could custom make a replica though.

That's the next mod.

Also useful for outside lane crawlers.
