The Jaguar name has always been associated with exclusive premium-level sedans and exotic sports cars. While they have a huge following among the fans and collectors of retro cars all over the world, these cars rarely get modified or customized. Most Jaguar owners are concerned with quality restoration and keeping the cars in their original state to preserve their value rather than customizing.
One of the strongest features of any Jaguar is the signature design and unbelievably strong charisma, thanks to which these cars remain attractive many decades down the road. Although, the automotive fashion changes and new trends alter our perception of automotive beauty.
Stance Build
Stance is one of the strongest styling trends of the street scene that’s been with us for more than a decade already, and it seems that it’s here to stay.
It definitely has its drawbacks in terms of reliability and performance when taken to the extreme, but its hard to deny that it improves the looks and aesthetics of nearly any car, no matter if it’s a sports car, sedan, or compact hatchback.
Rasmus Kristofferson, the owner of this very rare Daimler Super V8 decided to treat his Jag with common for this modification style exterior enhancements, such as the custom air suspension and oversized deep-dish custom wheels.
Such a radical move would undoubtedly provoke bewilderment and criticism among purists, but the end result exceeded all expectations. The upgrades enhanced the visual appeal of the car and uniquely underlined its elegant design.
This elegant British car sits low on a set of staggered 18” deep dish custom wheels with a step slip and a fully custom air suspension, which allows the owner to adjust the clearance depending on the situation.
The wheels are custom too. They started life as BMW style 32 rims and were later rebuilt from 15×7 to 18×11 on the front and 18×12 on the back.

- Custom air suspension
- Custom BMW Style 32 rims with a step lip.
Conclusion
The Daimler Super V8 shows that even old-school luxury cars can rock the stance look. By dropping it low on custom air suspension and those widened BMW wheels, the owner created something totally unexpected that just works. It’s a perfect mix of classic British class and modern street style that proves sometimes breaking the rules pays off.

This Daimler Super V8 build focuses heavily on the stance, which scored 8 out of 10 points thanks to its custom air suspension setup. While the custom-rebuilt BMW Style 32 wheels are a significant modification, they don’t fall into any of the scoring categories in our system but certainly contribute to the overal visual appeal of the car.
The build represents a focused approach to stance-oriented modifications, prioritizing ride height adjustability and wheel fitment over other aspects.
