Hey there all. Very happy to be a part of the community finally
Fatih here, 37 yo, engineer working in heavy trucks R&D in Germany.
Lately I've got a beautiful 380 PS Eiger Grey 2018 Jaguar XE S. The car has 112k on the clock with black interior, 20" Propeller alloys and full Jag service history. Got her from Belgium and I brought to Germany (not a good German speaker, that's why I'm here actually ).
There are some stuff I had to deal with:
Done going back to stock intake from Cold Air Intake(for German MoT)
Done going back from custom Ti catback to stock (again, MoT)
Some TLC needed on the paintwork here and there
Annoying crack on the outer lens of the cluster, dunno what to do honestly.
F.ing mid section of the exhaust fell and scratched the Rear LHS door leather trim while bringing the car (had to carry inside, too big), again not sure what to do (repair or change).
Pedals look rly worn, looking for a good F/P pair to renew.
There's a missing small plastic part at the rear end of the roof drip molding strap, looking for some breakers for that.
Car has no carpets, looking for a good one also fit for the trim.
RHS hook in the boot is missing.
Key fob metal part is quite banged up and spare key is missing
There are also some other stuff I wanna go further with:
F-type 3.23 FDR LSD retrofit
Facelift Steering Wheel retrofit
Facelift Rear End (imho rear-end is one of the weakest points of pre-facelifts, the front is other way around)
A proper application of a smaller supercharger pulley with proper chip-tune
Symposer delete
SV8 Style front bumper
Fantasy item: Bigger front brakes (SV8 or LR 3 Piston retrofit, hopefully bolt-on)
Fantasy item: Carbon bonnet with vents
Fantasy item: Custom alu/CF strut brace
Any kind of suggestions or criticism is welcome. I'd love to hear your honest opinions about all above.
Other cars include
2016 BMW F20 125d
2016 Renault Megane GT
2009 Alfa Romeo GT Q2 (in Istanbul)
I also owned a 2010 XF 3.0D 240 PS before I moved to Germany. It was such a dream to drive, just a bit too heavy for my taste
Again, hello everyone. Exciting to be here
Cheers,
Fatih
