I’m sure a few of you would be disappointed if I had not started to modify my XF so here we go with Phase I now done.
The basic design I’m working to is ‘OEM+’, so in essence if you asked the question of any change or part, could or should it have been built this way?
Not to everyone’s taste being a Jag, not a BMW (especially the brakes on the Jag forum where it’s a big worry to them :evil: ), but I love it and already it’s got a lot of compliments from people who I would not have expected.
Since setting eyes on my chosen XF I’ve made the following modifications and changes (some as retrofit at the dealers before supply and some subsequently):
Aerodynamic kit fitted (front bumper and side skirts)
LED blades (OEM factory design)
Black mesh grille and lower mesh grilles blacked out
20” Senta’s added with ‘Classic’ red Jaguar centres
Calipers in red and new black anti rattle springs fitted
Mudflaps all round (modded to fit side skirts)
New style ‘S’ badge on rear
Narrow plates (legal) without any drilling of new front end
Rear XFR 2012 rear bumper trim (the white bit wrapped over the tailpipes and gloss black finned diffuser (LMAO as one tuner worked it out, a few of us ordered them and now there are none in the UK for several weeks)
Next the interior where a few changes are needed and I expect highly polished fine grain oak to soon become piano black or carbon fibre….
Enhanced photo to show diffuser fins :
And of course the calipers before and after just to show BMW are not alone in them rusting away :roll:
