British Racing Green Jaguar XE

bizzyqu · 07-08-2015, 02:42 PM

One of my favorite colors for a car, finally found real pictures of it on the new XE. I think it is going to come down to an XE-S set up like this one or the M235i to replace my 335i.

Like the front end but could do with a wash! The rear lights are too big too, half of that arse is red, not green!

That, with the red calipers on the s and the red jag logos, is making me think a red and black leather interior might work well. Along with carbon fiber interior trim and carbon fiber mirror caps and side vents.

Black wheels took me from noon to six.

I have no idea what kind of idiom this is (if it is one)

It's a joke about penile directionality (look at a clock). Black wheels look terrible. BRG is better when it's non metallic too. It's been ages since Jag got BRG right, which seems ridiculous.

I thought I was the only one who thought that way. Aston and Mini seem to get BRG correctly. Jag has been off with it for years now.

Mini gets it right on the JCW and the Countryman but has a light, naff, metallic version on the regular F5x.
