Hateful details on beautiful cars

[Squabbler]

The title says it all.

For example - the antenna thing on XK rear wing - spoils the beautiful shape of the rear.


I'm fairly sure PH massive can bring something interesting on the topic.

Those VW Sharan-like lights on that are bloody awful too.

288GTO door mirrors for me. I'd tolerate them though.....

I'd be more concerned about the shoddy panel fit.

But then it's a Jag, so that comes as standard....

I think that little ariel is better than the Shark fin they have put on the 10.5+ cars

Also Mr Veefor your comment on pannel fit is BS, all the jag's i've seen are bang on

The tailpipes on the rear of the XF are never ever aligned straight - and even worse you can see the circular exhaust tip through the chrome square shaped chrome sleeve.

I still think there's something quite cool about electric aerials. Maybe that's just me though.

Take a look at the photo.

Whilst not as bad as, for example, a facelift Rover 75... it's still badly aligned.

Beautiful from the rear and side profile but look at the front lights,and the colour doesn't help.IMHO

Is that the XK or the XF?

Ah, both.

Might not get much agreement on this but putting mudflaps onto a Puma

completely ruined the lines for me .I had one without any

Your point was valid for both cars. At least they've fixed both now.

I don't think it even needs stating:

Actually, in the top pic, you can see the bottom right of the boot lid has a mahoosive gap compared to the left side.
