Diesel with all the options bar the sunroof and including illuminated sill plates (that dont illuminate :roll: ) and chrome side vents
OK here are the first quick pics taken outside a friends place this afternoon (inbetween the rain) Apologies for the ****e quality but didnt notice phone was on wrong setting. Some decent ones to follow when I get my new place next week / weather improves.....
Looks really classy with the dark interior as well. Going to be a nightmare to keep clean! - At least it will be a labour of love.
Midnight is such a good colour saw one in the flesh the other day and it made the car look very expensive - it was the first one I'd seen outside of the dealership and it really made me want to have mine.
After seeing your pictures (they look very good), I am almost sure I should go for a dark colour. Indigo or midnight, or even Radiance Red are good, the contrast from the body colour to the chrome, makes the car look great. However - cleaning is a problem.
The dirty rain this bank holiday weekend has got me thinking about the colour again. Will Liquid Silver, Frost Blue or Azure Blue survives better?
The lazy-me in my brain wants the Warm Charcol interior, because the beige leather in my current car has been getting all kinds of marks on the carpet, plastic and leather. What paint colour goes well with the Warm Charcol interior?
Really hated to wash car myself, usually drive into the car wash machine at the petro station to do it. (The local handwash service charges £75 each time...expensive!)
My car cleaning routine is in lieu of a gym session. I tend to burn a simiar amount of calories and simply skip a gym session when the old motor needs a wash. It is very therapeutic too. There is something about admiring the mirror-like finish of your XF for an hour or so before it rains!

I looked at a Liquid Silver Luxury XF with a Dove Grey bond grain interior and Satin American Walnut this morning.
It lacked the wow factor of the Premium Luxury spec and the colour combination looked cold.
I think Black leather goes well with both the pale blues. I am more than happy with my Vapour Grey/Champagne/Truffle/Burr Walnut combination and have found the bodywork does not show the dirt.
Dove grey on the PL works well because the carpet colour is charcoal. Also living near Guildford means I can use the Polish hand car wash service which charges only £8 for a good outside clean and finish. Their full valet costs just £30!
I picked Charcoal with the silver for my PL (due in jun), if I had been brave enough I would have had one of the 2 light colours (ivory or champagne) but my 22 month old grandson would destroy the interior in 5 seconds flat. The demo car was silver/ivory and being only a few days old the marks were already showing, worst was the bottom of the doors, the shoe scuffs were there for all to see.
Hi all, I'm a new XF owner and I'm loving it so far. A thought occurred to me earlier, though, and I can find nothing about it on the web, so I thought I'd pick your brains. How easy is it to fit DEF to a 2013 car?
It wouldn't be dirt-cheap, I know (tank, wiring, sensors, re-map, etc.) but how...
New to the forum as I'm hoping to buy a used approved >MY2016 XF in the very near future. It will be my first Jaguar, and I plan for it to be my last ICE vehicle... So hopefully it will last me well into the next decade! If anyone has any experience or advice re buying used approved from Jaguar...
It's always a shock when you have only 68k miles on the clock of your 2013 XF 2.2 & it fails the MOT. It's even more of a shock when the same thing happened on your previous XF for the same reason, those little rubber boots on the suspension arms. "Got to have the complete unit replaced Sir...
I just had my car checked by the Danish Motorists' Organisation yesterday. They did the MOT at the same time. The Danish Motorists' Organisation has garages, whey your car can be checked by an independent mechanic. You can have your own car tested or a car, that you consider buying secondhand...
I had the Danish MOT made on my car yesterday, but the mechanic had trouble finding the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The one in the windscreen doesn't count. It's only a label and can be fake. He had to find the VIN stamped into the body of the car. He called the dealer and the...
