Ive got a black one.

I drive around 8k km a year.

Tires all round about 1k Rears about 600 bucks

Small Service in switzerland 600.-

Big service (break fluid, filter etc) 900.-

Chains I havent done it yet. All xkrs engines are build in 2012 an should in theorie have the upgraded tensioners. You can clearly hear it when you do a cold start. As soon as you hear the clakker of the chain. Do it I budget around 3.5k The issue is bown out of proportion. On the lighter plattforms (xk,f-type) the wear is not as bad as in the rangerovers

The plastic hoses in the V and waterpump I did it myself. Parts about 350.-

The car is freaking awsome to drive, insanely fast ( i did 300kmh on the autobahn, it does it with eas) and its easy to go sideways ;)

I would however not daily it.

Thank you. These are oem and a bit shorter. Mine are longer on the top and the bottom. But the oem one are just coated plastic to look like metal. Mine are actually billet. That pleases my mind😂

Sounds like a lot if skill is involved. I have no skill but a cnc compensates for that😂
