Default Full Carbon Fiber body kit

I recently met my neighbour who is the founder of Ventus Veloce. www.ventusveloce.com.

I saw their parts for the Mustang and Focus RS and they are absolutely superb!!! I approached them and they agreed to work with us to create parts for the F-type. This is the perfect opportunity to be a part of the designing process.

I am thinking of creating the below parts
1. front lip
2. side skirts
3. rear diffuser
4. winglet or FULL wing like on the SVR
5. Hood

If we can have 5 or more people interested, he can make it happen for us! Price wise we are probably looking at $200 to $300 more per piece than that of the mustang on their website.

If anybody has any designs or ideas, we can work together with them to make it HAPPEN!!

I could be interested in some parts. I was planning on having a front splitter, sides, an aggressive rear diffuser and possibly a fixed wing made anyways.

something like this would be cool for me. I wanted to do something like this but the cost to make one was really high.

Yes.. The guy who makes designs for Ventus Veloce was just looking at my car today and he said the same.. An aggressive diffuser like that will look awesome on the F-type.

Agreed.

I would be okay with non carbon fiber parts as well. The black looks factory or OEM+ and would probably be slightly cheaper to manufacture. As long as it's made with a strong material it works for me.

Noting the margins on JLR carbon fibre parts, it may be that Ventus could sell the same items as JLR at a 50% mark-up for half of the JLR price.

I might be interested in a front lip, rear diffuser and possibly a hood if they were totally stock looking.

OP do you have a V6 or V8 model? I'm guessing all of the parts except the rear diffuser would be the same fit either way but I was just wondering.

This would be cool, but re-routing the exhaust through trunk (boot) would probably be an epic project. 😀

Oh okay cool. I have a base but I'm planning on running a quad exhaust setup anyways. Let me know if you guys are in the works for something soon! I will probably start reaching out to a few companies around here in CA to have parts made in the next few months but I'd rather have someone else put in the work lol

FYI, WhiteTardis changed his base F-type from dual to quad exhaust, if you haven't seen his thread.
