Getting off my ass and finally writing a build thread for the Jaguar

[mshriver]

Absolutely love this car! I almost picked up an x type and found your car a while back while searching to find if anyone had bagged one before. Im glad to finally find your build thread. Bravo sir.

Why no more smoked reverse lights? Looked so good.

They didn't look correct with the 2008 boot plinth upgrade. Notice the tinted tails had the older silver-painted piece. I like the updated piece and its the only one in the country as far as I know.

I usually don't like S-Types, but you made me <3 this one! Love the wheel whoring

Thanks. It's an X-Type by the way. I've never been to fond of the S-Type either - except the R model.

Legendary Jag! Love it!

Bolt pattern on all factory Jaguar wheels is 5x108, right? Do you happen to know if there are adapters available for 4x100 cars?

I have them built for me by motorsport-tech (aka Adaptec). I doubt you can get them TUeV-zugelassen in over here (I say here, because I am typing from the Ritz in Wolfsburg at the moment).

nice jag, reppp washington!!

Thank you.

Thanks. I envy the aftermarket support and performance though that your car has. I need to make and imprt wierd stuff for this car.

Seen this car all over the internet and now I get to appreciate the work that's gone into it.

Stancing a Jaguar is just...EPIC

Winter wheels are off, so time to update the build thread. Mercedes W140 S-Class wheels, circa 1996 vintage.






These were on my old Volvo 850 wagon back in 2004 when I imported them in from Germany. They changed owners a few times and I eventually bought them back after many years.

Sweet wheels...weren't these off a W210 E420?

[shippedout]

Looks good as always man. I actually like the MB wheels on the Jag

The E Classes had the 16" version. The 18s were mainly on the W140 coupes, but some of the sedans had them also. I don't think the US cars ever got them.

You sir have a very clean Jaguar. Looking forward to the future

Thanks. I think the future will be a Jaguar XK Coupe though. Won't be much more happening to this, but I want to buy a bigger house, so XK is about a year away. Until then I'll just switch between the 5 or 6 sets of wheels I have to get by. I do need a change every once in a while.

Those Merc Wheels :O

I'm suspecting you got adapters, right?

[JVC]

I love how you bought back your old wheels...

and they look fucking awesome on the Jag.

Redrill and hubcentric rings, no adapters this time. That is why it took so long - I bought these in December I think.

Thanks. I'm just happy they weren't messed up after three owners and 6 years not in my possession. There were a few nicks that 800 grit sand paper resolved, but they took decent care of them.

i love your car, jeremy. i love all your cars haha. my favorite wheels are the xf-r or whatever the fat five spoke ones are. im a sucker for big wheels on slammed cars. I agree that the RS look alikes arent the best looking ones...they look too dated for the car. but at the same time, they still manage to look awesome

[TruTaing]

This jag is so bad ass! Ive seen it around! Pix dont do it justice!
