Ha, Ha
It will predominately be driven by my wife, she used to have a C63 and misses the power!
She mostly walks to work but on occasions she drives and also takes the two granddaughters out (both under 10). Other than that it will be a weekend car.

Aye Craig, thought it was you as soon as I saw "Git" 
Cheers for the offer of help, will do if I go down that route 
Black pack grilles installed over the holidays...
Now half-considering getting the wheels powder-coated in gloss black too, as a "proper" black pack spec'd car would have had. Jaguar didn't make the black pack available on colours other than black, white or red and the proper black pack wheels would have been a different design but they're hard to come by and expensive. Found this on a Jaguar forum, they've taken this car a bit further than I will but gives an idea how the wheels would look.
I'll be bulk-buying tyre dressing products though if I do it as I hate seeing gloss black wheels with faded/mucky tyres!
Also swapped the headlamp bulbs, the indicator and side marker ones were orange and had the old "fried egg" look, thus:
Much better:
Shame there's not a lot I can do about the reflector strip but can't have it all. I have some cool white LEDs to install inside the car too, that'll be a job for some evening this week.

Cheers, yeah the black splitter/lower bumper is meant to look like the XKR-S I think, seen it done a few times and it doesn't work IMHO. The black wing louvres, hmm yeah maybe but I'd try it with some plasti-dip or vinyl first. Might look good with the black front grilles I have now but I think overall on that car they've overdone it a bit!
