My Black on Black XKR

**alroumi** · 03-02-2007

This Wednesday I got a call from the Showroom manager telling me to come at 5:30pm to pickup my XKR coupe, The week before I went and paid but couldnt see the car because they were polishing and detailing it. Finally its here and already had it tinted 70% Vkool Premium tints, If am not mistaken it has 30% shade to it, its not dark but since the Car is Black on Black it looks darker.

When I picked it up, I didnt think that I would get a terrific registration plate number.

Unfortunatley Front registration plates are a must in Kuwait, especially when you have got many Police Cars in every area.

I like the Tints for $480 hopefully they are effective&effecient on a Black on Black car, especially in the Summer where the tempreature reaches 50degrees C easily.

I hope you enjoy the pictures and hopefully in 2-3days It will get the Protective Layering for the Paint against debris etc.

Good Question, No they are quiet common.

I might be the only person who gets Black on Black, they usually go for Black on Beige.

Thank you, From my knowledge I think I have the second XKR in Kuwait

, I am very fortunate,blessed for what I have. I thank god for providing me the needs and wants.

Talking about Aston Martin a friend of mine has a Yellow V8 Vantage, which is a nice small car sized same as a Porsche 911; thus the V8 Vantage has some loud vocals to it.

Personal prefrence differs, Though the SLK55 has Designo Tamo Anthratice wood.

You´re right. And better wood in a Jag than a yellow Aston Martin.

Yes, you dont notice the wood on the Astonmartin because it has black interior and piano black wood.

Okay, SandStorm today; so expect pictures in 2-3 days.

I would love to own a Sedan probably XJR, there are more things to live than cars, next thing is investments.

cars that I would love to have as "next car"
G55 AMG ,Jaguar XJR , 997Turbo.

**alroumi** · 03-02-2007

The Upcoming Audi S5 is a great contender wished it had more than 350hp.

No offense alroumi...or to anyone else...I just don't see the attraction to the G series. It looks like a box on wheels. And for the price? It's a mystery to me.

sorry to go OT...the XKR looks great!!

B55 · 03-02-2007

Very nice brother.

Ford owns both Jaguar and Aston Martin . You can really see the Aston influence in the XKR. A partner at my firm recently got a silver XKR. Absolutely stunning. Congrats and enjoy.

What type of law do you practice??? I am an IP lawyer - patents, copyrights and entertainment law.

**FishtailnZ** · 03-02-2007

Beautiful, very classy looking car, congrats!

Thank you, Ian cullum is the designer for both the Aston Martin DB7 1997-2003 and the Jaguar XK8/R 1997-2005.

He also designed the New XK8 & R and the Aston Martin DB9, though the Designer for the

Aston Martin "V8 Vantage" is not Ian Cullum, its an Indian Fellow.
