Side skirt as shown
I have been looking whether the side skirt option can be installed on to an f-type that's without the side skirt. I haven't been able to find any suppliers or anything online.

That piece in the photo certainly looks like a poorly conceived aftermarket unit. The OEM skirts will bolt up to an unskirted car and can be ordered from Land Rover Parts and Jaguar Spares | Britcar UK Ltd. You will need to choose from the smaller 2013-14 skirts (EU MY) or the exaggerated 2015+ skirts.

Ouch! The picture is of the "sports design pack". My car came with it (it was a demo). The front and rear treatment is good but the skirt is a PITA because it is way too wide and makes it harder getting out of the car, it is flat so the dirt sits on it and makes mud splotches, and it takes away from the lines of the car.

On the other hand, some people think it looks aggressive.

I had mine wrapped, and it looks acceptable. It was a $4000 odd option, I think, though I didnt count it as a plus when I bought the car.

I think the OEM skirts are unpainted, so you need to have them painted, if I remember correctly.

Wrap them in flat black so you don't notice them as much (or just leave them off). If they offered a vertical soft rubber skirt to enhance the ground effects, I could be tempted. I used to fabricate my own skirts for my race cars (and they looked like it too).

You need to contact them (contact page) and tell them exactly what you want. They will then send you the part number(s) that you can enter online for pricing and ordering.

I wrapped mine but left the edge body coloured. Looks better IMO and matches the front and rear treatment (which I say because I cant spell venturii??)
excuse the location - off at the fruit and veg market...

but the black shows up the dirt more.

This is the rear (as I got it, no wrap there) before I wrapped the skirts. I ended up using gloss wrap to match the front and rear bits.

That does look sharp. I like it!

I agree - I'm not a fan of the body colored skirts, but leaving just the edge body color looks good.

And Lance, I won't comment on you making your own skirts.
