Well since I will be modifying my wifes XE I have decided to document it as I go! Here is her car the day we picked it up.

Snailedit , can you tell me if on the after picture of the front's are the tyres proud of the wheel arch at the top? in the UK that is illegal, you would have to have wheel arch extensions fitted, the tyre must be inside of the wheel arch.

Hey! Car is looking fantastic mate, really love the carbon upgrades! Where did you get your mirror caps from and how much were they please? Are they a good fit?

Cheers,
Dan
I found them on Ebay. They are nice quality and fitment is good. Not 100% perfect but I'm also OCD when it comes to stuff like that. Just a tiny gap between the body color and the black trim in the mirror, very small but I see it.

Well did this today. Took about 30 mins to do. Just like most aftermarket body parts the fit wasn't perfect but some finesse I got it in place and looking right. My neighbor lent me a sawzaw to cut the tail pipes but it started to rain (we haven't seen rain in 3 weeks) so I'll do the tips tomorrow and take some better pics afterwards.

Looking good so far, how much have you trimmed off the tail pipes currently?

I suppose it's down to personal taste but how much further in do you think they need to go?

What were the issues with the diffuser figment?

Looks very nice. With your roof are you wrapping the A and C pillars as well? I did that to my F Type after falling in love with the DBS Superleggera, it looks very flash and flattens out the look of the car (takes away height). I was wondering how it would look on the XE but I have orders from my wife not to do any more wrap to it.
