 My new Jaguar XF 3.0 S Diesel "Continental" interieur
So I dared to combine some colours and materials the Jaguar house salesmen frowned about, but after the car afterwards arriving were very pleased with the result.
We all liked it very much.

We all really liked it.
No bad experiences concerning the light leather until now. It`s interesting, that every time I will clean the driver`s seat, there some blue colour will show up on the cleaning cloth, stemming from my (multiple washed) Blue Jeans. But still no regrets.

 My new Jaguar XF 3.0 S Diesel Easter alloy rims
Summer aluminium rims. As the xnow has gone now, I have been searching for new alloy rims for my summer tyres, leaving the winter tyres on the original Jaguar rims. The original Jaguar rims I didn t like that much, for my taste being too clumsy for the beautifully shaped body of the car. So I am searching for some rather classic alloy spoke rims. The spoke rims directly shown on the xar represent a photomontage as an attempt for the new summer shoes.

Nice pics, I think the interior looks great, it would be very hard not to like that combination. It looks classy.

 Re: My new Jaguar XF 3.0 S Diesel "Continental"
@Blade Thank you very much Blade. The interior really gives me positive feelings each and every day and the rest of the family always is positively chattering when there might be the possibility of a trip with the car - they are all keen on it.  @pekem The silver XF looks absolutely gorgeous with the alloy rims you recommended ! Would it be possible that you could tell me the brand of those rims ? Certainly it will not be easy to get an German type approval ift the rims are not sold internationally. A German Jaguar/Jaguar XF-Forum member asks me if the car has a "Liquid Silver" body colour. Is there anybody who knows that for sure ? Thank you for your help

Hi gt
Nothing wrong with your interior colour choice, I really like the dark/light contrast.
If the car in the last photo is the Spires 'mule' then I think the colour is Lunar Grey.

 My new Jaguar XF 3.0 S Diesel "Continental"`s titanium shoes
So finally I ordered those, i.e. in Titanium colour. RC Design Typ 18, type approval for Germany included. Maybe they will look great together with Botanical Green -> No - had to switch back to silver them being too grey in reality, so no mishap at the moment

 My new Jaguar XF 3.0 S Diesel "Continental", he`s got the lo
"he`s got the look" Some weeks later. Now each morning leaving the house for the newspaper I am pleased by the modified glance of my XF (him not any longer seeming bored  ) after its "eye modification". For me it`s been worth its salt.
