I mean the headlights of the XF facelift bear a bit of a resemblance to those of the D9 406.

Plus the 2.2 HDi engine.

Badge engineered 608 more or less :D

I digress slightly, but just out of curiosity, does anyone know if the front bumper was a one off, or did anyone make it available?
Always wondered, that's all :D

Make a reasonable snow plough - maybe them 'outrigger' bitz could be adapted for gritting.

Wadya mean when did it last snow in Marseille?

i dont quite see the resembence, but they share a similar themem of long wide but not high headlights that are flat at the bottom and have a bit of a curve at the top.
Other than that they look very different, the new xf looks ok, but i dont like the outside of the new xj, i always liked the old one it was a proper Jaaag.

my soberness or casts doubt on my sexual persuasions !!!! :twisted:
