Give Elite & Performance Jags Limited a call I know they can refinish the wood to different specs, can also source second hand wood sets and use that so you can keep original, 01332 265826

A dealer could do it. Just a case of ordering a new trim pack and swapping it over.

Probably more expensive than a specialist, but the parts will be warranted (handy when the airbag connects to the passenger side veneer panel).

Depends if it needs doing on a budget or not. Whatever you do though, don't buy a 'stick on' kit. Nothing looks worse!

cheaper the better, but want it to look good... ill give them a call.. still not got an XKR yet but want to price things up before i buy one as it may be worth me pending a few more £1000 on the car that already has the piano black (or carbon fibre look) dash, bodykit, bigger brakes and better sounding exhaust that i will be wanting at some point.

Get the XKR with the exact trim you want, an XKR will already have the big brmebo brakes, but do you want the red calipers or silver? DECIDE! It's pointless spending money on items such as interior wood! There is plenty of stock out their just trawl the classifieds and dealers. (Look on the Stratstones website as they have the largest dealer network and maybe the most stock).

You'll need £1500 for the ultimate exhaust, so budget now and I'll let you know where to go........
