    Udo, no problem. This kit was based in the UK but exported all around the world. There is another German based wide body conversion we are going to feature at some point. Thanks for your support and comments. It really helps and makes a difference, regards Damian

    Unsure why, but the 5off XKR Merlin's were annotated by Jaguar on their X100 production portfolio issued in 2007. I don' think any other 'aftermarket' version was counted in this way. It was treated like the Stratstone's. I can only surmise it was something to do with the Charity that the Merlins were produced for. What would be interesting, and perhaps explain the mystery, is if the Merlin's had any factory upgrades or omissions....

    Have to say, that wide body is pretty good looking. That tail light conversion only looks good when someone takes the trouble to blend them in like the black one did, otherwise they look like a cheap bolt on. I never thought the OEM X-100 tail lights were anything to write home about. The blue car looks horrible in that color if you ask me. Of all the colors in the world, the only thing worse than baby blue is pink! Furthered by having a red interior, then topping it off with an orange mouth??? What was he thinking??? When you have a color for the interior (in other words, other than a neutral black/gray/tan, etc.) you're pretty much forced to have a similar exterior color. Baby blue and red interior ... OMG ... barf! :(

    Andrew, the colour is AML Flugplatz Blue, not that makes it any more better or worse. It definitely turns heads and might not be to everyone’s taste. The orange mouth was just a experiment and is poster paint so was washed off. This kit is really outrageous and so is the colour. Myself I prefer red most of the time. I liked the seat colour modification though. Richards got some skills and it’s all about expression and interesting projects. Thanks for your input and comment regards Damian

    Andy, it is covered in the video in the value in 2021 section. Would like to cover in more detail but we are reliant on owners supplying quality photos and video. The photos in the eBay advert are quite poor. I did contact the seller (dealer) but no response yet. That one is a really good clean example. Spoke to Barry about that one and he remembered it. He confirmed the interior was his own work. Not everyone is an enthusiast, interested or responds to our polite requests. Big thanks to those that send us stuff. Thanks for the comment regards Damian

    Stephen, he still has the moulds so in theory he can still make and sell parts. Although he is trying to retire he might be interested. You can contact him via the Zeemax website email address and phone number. Also listed in the video description. Thanks for the comment regards Damian

    Hey man I am currently doing a rebuild on an xk8 and I was wondering what the website is for this body kit cause it’s the only nice one I’ve found and I’m wondering if they still have the parts. Can you please drop the website link?

    Jacob, unfortunately, the www.Zeemax.com website is no longer active. When we made the video the kits creator, Barry Perman, was retiring and selling the moulds for the panels. Not sure if he has sold them or not. Arden GmBh do a similar kit but it's very expensive. Paramount or Grantley are other options. Good luck with the rebuild. When you finish you car please send us some photos, regards Damian

    Sue, no and yes. The creator retired and he has been trying to sell the moulds for the kits. So no you cannot buy a new kit but you can buy the moulds and make your own new kit. Sorry not a straight answer, but hope that helps, regards Damian
