Why are you going to bother spraying?

That looks stunning. I'm surprised Jaguar didn't offer that colour combo as a factory option.

Have you dyno'd it yet? Just wondering how many horses the bonnet vent adds......

Also they’ll make it fast (downforce), so it’s win-win as far as I can tell

this could be something really special, have you any plans for the wheels?

Are you a clay modeler or similar by trade, looks like you got the hang of body work quickly smile

There are several build threads on here that need to come and take a look at this; this is a Proper Job.

Following with interest and a lot of admiration.

I like what you have done! The additions really compliment the lines of the car.

Maybe you should look at performance and handling mods next? Probably get a cracking set of Jing-Ling XtraSports RS tyres for not much, will really liven her up in the corners!

Pro tip : When you get it dyno'd don't forget to fold the back seats. It lowers the centre of gravity and adds up to 5bhp/

I've made some fairly considerable weight savings in the past by draining some of the oil out too (unbelievable how heavy it is), might help you meet your power to weight targets. Apparently the water in the rad is pretty heavy too. Best of luck smile

The body kit over the rear parking sensors is a real stroke of genius.

Make bank when that goes to the next owner to decompose on the lawn of his council house.

Are you sure this is your car and you've not just taken some spy shots of the next Jaguar Project 9?

You've really nailed it. I like the subtle but purposeful mods. Have you done the 'exhaust drill' mod yet? Its a really cheap upgrade but makes a car sound ace!

Has that model got folding rear seats, will give you the performance to match the looks if you can get them folded down

Don't forget the delete air intake modification.

Numerous late night experiments in deserted retail car parks all over the country have repeatedly proven that lobbing the air filter and housing and associated pipework into the bushes beside Mc Donalds or Asda will give you at least another 28BHP and saves several kilos. smile

Clearly its a win-win. Sick innit 'bro. smile
