Lovely lovely car,however,i wouldnt modify it in the slightest,tint the windows and fit large alloys but thats it.What do u plan to do
nah scoop may get the tint done but am going to leave the wheels like they are, may change them for the ones of the xjr model in the near future but for now am looking for somewhere to get my ones ive got now re polished to a mirror finish. so does any1 know of anywere?????
Any sound system going in it?
nope am leaving everything standard except the grille and i may be putting the xjr rim on but that it, i feel that if i think am going to make the car look any better than what jaguar intended then i am a fool.
my sentiments exactly,stereo upgrade would be good but it'd have to be done proffesionally,i wouldnt touch jag doorcards just incase,like most doorcards,they get damaged when u take em off
it only got the standard radio casset but i think at one time it may have had a cd changer as it has the controls for it on the unit, maybe the changer broke sometime and they realised a replacment from jaguar was more than its worth, Ive been on ebay and they go for around £30 but i dnt know if the conections are all the same and is the conector part of the cars loom some were underneath the carpet. To be honest i havent got a clue what iam looking for lead wise.
Classy
rhys you know you will change it given time. you will get bored and start to change things. a standard car is like modeling clay. its not your own work of art until you express yourself and make it how you think it should look.
Hmmm, very philosophical daz
I hav learnt that its a waste of cash spending money on a car that is never going to be anything, I didnt express myself when i had the punto i was just bored and had money to waste and wasting money on it eventually became boring to. My punto cost me around the 13500 mark and yet it was still a fiat which i have for sale for 4000 so 9500 is an expensive way to express ur self if that is what ur trying to do which i wasnt.
er... How much insurance are you paying on that if you don't mind me asking?!
Looks nice though, very unique!! Have fun changing the rear brake discs.
it £139 fully comp with 2years ncb, as for any work on this car i wnt be doing it, jaguar in lpool will be it going in in a few weeks for its 80 000 mile service at £380 plus vat which i dont feel is to bad considering
139 fully comp,surely uve missed a 0,or ur a lot older than u look, 20 sheets short of 400 quid seems quite bad considering to me,whats it entail,cambelt and all associated bits?it better had for that price
yeah it includes parts such a plugs filters etc etc as for the cambelt scoop the engine doesnt have one it has a chain so doesnt need changing for a very long time.
Scoop insurance dont just go on insurance numbers they go on if the cars going to be stolen and if you are driving a jag then its not getting stolen or crashed ( My sister works for sainsburys so i have inside info
Did a little test tonight and if i had a 2wd sap cos or a scooby sti ist more than the jag by nearly £350
PS jag is sweet like it also like the idea of the wheels mate try this number its pro clean (Liverpool 0151 426 1885) polished the pepper pots on my mk1 xr2 got my 2nd in show so they must be good also they are not that much and it you dont like the finish they will do em agin till you are happy.

Rhys mate we must be gettin old as i am now at the same point as you!
My next car will be a cool,nice car but i'm not going to waste money on it.
Think the jags ace mate.
£139 fully comp?
who was that with?
the cheapest i can get on that car is about £600 fully comp and i got 5 years ncb
yrs daz cheers mate 139 per month lol
So, nearly £1700 a year. wow, wish i could afford that. It seems to be in a similar price bracket to my car.
yep their such a good car for the money i was looking at getting a newish bmw 730 but non were as good example for the price bracket i set and merks are just ugly lol. Dnt mean this to sound horid but if i got a mr2 or somethin i just look like ive been looking in the £1000 under section in the autotrader lol. People are so shocked when they look at it and i tell them how much they r. And their wasnt many cars that gave that kind of effect. The downside tho is when people see me in it they dnt look at me as if it mine but my dads lol it makes me angry lol
How much you pay in the end for it??
I think your car looks really nice, and dead luxurious too. Can't wait to see it up close.
i luv that car m8, i respect you 4 bein different it looks proper ganster and i dont think that it looks like dads car my cousins 24 and drives an audi a8 but no 1 ever mentioned nething bout daddys car 2 him lol
it was decided that when i got this car i was going to leave it standard, but yet again i have changed my mind, and am going to start my boot buil this wkend, would like a few audiobham or alphasonic subs, it going to be simple eg fabriced mdf, i am thinking snake skin and cream leather to match the interior. I will get some pics once this is near complete, possibly sunday. I am also planning a set of 20's chrome hoops aswell (note the gangsta talk, Hoops lol) just in time for the nationals. Aswell as this am getting the grille meshed and windows tinted. But in the distant future am going to be getting airbags. I want to keep it so it can go bk to the way it was b4 being modded.
Plans sound sweet mate! I like!
change my mind again today, jag getting left as is, and am leaving the hotrod idea. I want a cheap f..k around car, i had one of these few years ago it a 325i, these go really cheap i can get a gud one for about £1000. As soo n as i collect one it will be going straight to petes garage for the bodywork and full respray black which i recon cost about £1000 and the kit ive found on ebay
ebay link . So all in all i am saving £3000 now to get all this done and get some 19s. Should be done b4 cw cruise hopefully.
but i dnt want one like this, tupac and dikky will find this funny ha ha ha
web page
what the hell is that purple/pink monster, thats aweful
I wouldnt get it but i think with a bit of money for a respray it would look okay, you would have to remove vents, spoiler, and light standard look lot beta and its gota go blk and full retrim and i recon a profesional rebuild. looks like he built his in his garden lol. But i aint gettin that one anyway. I would be inbarrased to advertise that ha ha ha
this is more what i am after good low milage, looked after example, not worried about colour cause it will be gettin a full respray and more lol
web page
I know its only a 2litre which is 100or so bhp, but i am going for looks not performance.

like your thinking mate, sounds amazing what your going to do, i think you should build another install for this one, get it proper pimpd out
gotta say hehe, it was really nice
the bmw.
it will look so smart wen its finished with.
ye another install will look really nice with the bmw, just like the one he had in the Punto. that was smart
wot u like babe
sounds like i good idea mate can't wait to see it when it gets done
This is the kit i want, it a m3 kit, includes front and rear arches and skirts. I know it wnt be exactly the same as the m3 cause the bootlid section is different. £415 is the price tag
The e30 M3's are LHD too. Lovely cars, don't see many.
like it rhys, you did try to explain to me what the kit looked like but now i can see the picture of it its stunning.
i looked into one b4 i got me astra, thats the e30 model the one your lookin at! i was lookin at the e36 model!! becareful
E30's Rock
Theres loads of them round so can be picked up nice and cheap, not the quickest thing in the world, but RWD, and very easy to work on mechanically.
Only worry point is the price of parts, certain bushes are "dealer only" and very expensive, and even some of the aftermarket pattern parts arent cheap
Watch for rust on the sills and rear arches and wear on interior trim. Mechanically they are very good, I had a 320i with 230k on the clock and it ran fine (Though it did have a full BMW service history) before I fitted the 2.5 lump.
Spend good money on suspension as they can feel very "soggy" on just lowering springs
I know all bout them stuy, i had a 325is coupe b4 the punto lol. Befor that i had a 518 i bit slow a was totaly s..t buti love bmw's, and have got to say it but I would love my old 325is back insted of my jag. The drive was not as soft but it felt much better when hanging the arse end out which i did alot off, plus cause i had the is version it come with the lsd. ha ha ha
Click Me Look at the 1 on the top of the page in this link, this kind of milage and condition is what i am after, not to worried about the colour cause its geting a full respray, black, red or dolphin grey.
Admin Edit : URL Tidy / friendly
Just had a bit of a mad day and decided to do some mods on my jag now it had the grille removed today and ive droped it of at automotion to get sprayed the same colour as the car and the inner section will be meshed. He's promised me it back by friday. Here a pic of what it will be like but in a different colour
What do ya's think???? Improvment or not???
so youll get it back sometime next week then lol

web page Sorry mate havnt looked at your mmc for a bit.
WHAT THE **** IS THAT SOMBODY NEEDS SHOOTING COS THATS GOT TO BE THE WORST e30 I HAVE EVER SEEN.
Like the idea of you getting a E30 matey. For a couple of hundred more you could get yourself a nice sport lsd and other nice bits kits nice too.
Is this just one suttle little mod or a small taste of things to come Rhys
I got my grill back today, they did a great job. Am waiting for some mesh inserts to turn up now. If any1 know any1 selling a set of xjr alloy let us know.
I think these would look great on your car
Click Me
not for my model unfortunatly mine is the x300, I dnt even know if 20's will fit

Do a Wanted Topic in the wanted section
I will do cheers mark, I am just lazy nad thought u would do it lol. Am going to be bidding on a set of clear side repeaters on ebay. Also I found a company named Arden although they seem expensive they are the only company ive seen selling kits for my body.
get some pics up of your install mate, its looking good so far from what ive seen
I have been busy all day polishing my wheels they come up great almost a chrome finish. I think they could do with i final polish thursday b4 the nationals lol
just had it in for a full service today, few problems headgasket needs replacing, both rear diff seals, gearbox seal and clutch. Car is still drivable think head gasket is a very minor leak you can see the scale running down the outside of the caseing but it hasnt been overheatinng. But I feel it is worth getting it all done so it going to sprayforce nxt friday, should only have it a few days. Think I will keep it a bit longer now due to spending this much on it.
