Modernising an early XK8
Discussion
This one as an example. http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1094200.htm
Did Jaguar do a facelift of this model of the XK8? What could be done to it to make it look slightly more modern?
I've looked at similar with early Boxsters and 911s and a simple wheel upgrade and facelift lights totally changes the look of it and freshens its looks. What similar things can be done to the XK8 in order to do this? In street terms, 'pimp my XK8'!

Manchester. What sort of things would modernise the looks?
So you are't my neck of the woods so can't help regarding good Independants to help.Most items are interchangable, even if you may need a few tweeks.
To start you can fit the later front and read bumpers, later seats will fit but will need some electrics reworked
Later headlights and rear lights, again some electric tweeks
Even the 4.2 engine will go in, although quite a lot work to make it work.

Endless amount of mods can be done to these cars,
later style rear lights,
later style boot plinths,
full mesh grilles,
20" wheel upgrades,
new shape front bumper nose,
lowered suspension,
chrome interior trim pieces,
even carbon fibre,
and the most important one, stainless exhaust system to replace the tiny pea shooters,

We currently have a 2005 rear and front bumper in stock as well as side sills which is one of our most popular upgrades for the early style XK. Also the Jewel style tail light upgrade makes the world of difference.
