I've been looking at a 2010 XK which I am considering buying. It has a bodykit fitted which the dealer says is a Jag OE kit but as I haven't got the accessories catalogue from the time I can't verify. I'm not overly worried about the kit as the car looks great without one, although this one does look pretty good. Just wondering if anyone can verify is it a genuine Jag kit?

It cannot see any kits like that in the literature I have.

There was the "R Performance Aerodynamic Pack" available in 2010 as a factory-fitted no-cost option, which my own XKR has, but that differs from the one on the car you have pictured.

There were a couple of other kits available on the earlier cars but they would not fit the 5-litre models anyway.

I've only had my car a few months and I am still learning though, so no doubt someone more knowledgeable will be along soon!

I did more searching later and found this image from a full accessories brochure which looks like the same rear bumper extension


Also tweeted the pictures asking Ian Callum if he recognised it, he has replied saying he thinks he remembers it so great response!

Deposit paid on the car on this basis so hopefully I'll have an XK shortly!

So presumably it is a retro-fit kit as opposed to factory-fit. I don't have any accessory brochures, only the main sales catalogue for the car and one for prices.

At least it is a proper Jaguar kit and does not look out of place on what is already a good-looking car.

Enjoy it!

Isn’t this the ‘Dynamic’ Edition? Fancy bodykit on an XK. Looks tidy.

It may be, it wasn't described as that by the dealer. I liked it enough to put a deposit down!
