so, will you machine your own spacers to get out past the bearings on the front?

Hi there, yes I will machine my own spacers, but it's to get the PCD, the old jag is 5" X5 and the BMW wheel are 120mm X 5, and will need about 1" (25.4mm) clearance

Would love to put some air ride in it, I think it would set it off

Well if you have any questions I would be glad to help where I can.

Later on I will hold you to that, I have seen what the guys at GMG do and I do like that look

Once again it will come down to cost, so far the brake setup has cost me about $75, I'm always looking at what will give the best bang for my buck, so I will have to go for studs .
Cost brake down at the moment runs a little this, cost of car $1500 NZD, striping the body $100, sand blasting the underbody $800, and the brakes $100 so all up $2000 NZD = $1300 USD

I like this because Jags are cool looking cars and most of all, this is the same age as I.. If only you could "fix" and "upgrade" ME!

[bryankiwi]

this is the kind of look that Im going for with my MK7 Jag

[mlcraven]

Great looking cars, certainly very classic and evocative of 1950s styling. Although I've always thought that that the designers must have had an "Aw Sh-t!" moment when it came to the dual tailpipes. They look a bit kluged on there in the photos of the black car.

looks like a very cool concept!

[bryankiwi]

OK the latest on the Jag, I went out and got a set of wheels, had to make a spacer so that they will fit, and see how they look once everything is on, Im very happy with the way the mags look. I will post what they look like on the back tomorrow

[Old Dog]

The wheels look real good. Might want to do something about the center caps

[bryankiwi]

Don't worry, they are going to be re-badge soon

[silver_bullet]

Fella... that is saweeet!!!
