If there was ever a reason to say that something has been over done, then this must be the case. Galpin who are the USA’s largest Jaguar dealer have come up with their own version of how the XF would have looked if they were designing it.
To be honest it looks ok from one angle, but when you look again it looks terrible, so it is hard to decide whether this car is good looking are completely awful. It’s just too hard to decide, you know that the car is fantastic, but this version is strange, maybe it is the colour!
The Galpin Jaguar XF is finished in a two tone red and black paint job, with colour coded red 22 inch alloy wheels, which incidentally look really cool! To finish off the rear tail lights have been smoked out, there is tinted glass all round and yes the red and theme continues into the passenger compartment, with the leather seats being finished in colour coded tones. No doubt there will be some one who likes this car, but it does remind you of the early eighties when people used to do this sort of thing to their Mark IV Cortina’s.

This looks absolutely awful! It’s completely the opposite of what Jaguar creates – cars with style, class and desirable looks.
the 2 tone job is a great idea, its actually okay, its equally as good as it was before the paint job, but ur dissapointed cause u thought it would b a masterpiece..red & black are beautiful, but as u said, the thing is in the colors, they are different shades of red & black that dont mix perfectly..it would’ve been perfect if the original black color was royal black or matt black, but instead the original black color is kind of pearl black or dark navy blue, thats why it doesnt mix that much with the red..
overall, wonderful job really
Maybe it would help if I was American – I’d probably like the two-tone looks more… I revisited the page to see if it had grown on me but it hadn’t! Black on black any day!
