Perhaps you should get yourself a wind tunnel so that you can be sure that you are adding something that is going to do something on the particular track you are on rather than detracting. Sticking a GT3 wing on an F-Type may not be your best option. Now, if you are just going for looks that is entirely another matter.

Putting a wing on a car or any aero enhancements for that matter is a science not an art exercise..... So, if you just want to look fast and not necessarily get around a track fast then any wing will do the trick.

Personally, I can't imagine tracking such a heavy - and beautiful - car, but obviously that's just me. And here I am considering modifying things to keep the OEM rear wing down all the time just to retain its elegant looks.

This is not a car that is raced and rarely modified. There aren't that many options. That being said, you use just about any rear wing out there, you just need to work with a body shop to mount it if you care about the paint.

Exactly what F-Type do you own and what exactly do you want these aero attachments to do?

I got a new to me 2015 RWD F-Type R It will deliver by the end of the week. I'd notice this car is rarely modified or being race. I personally like the GT wings and the looks, are there any body kit out there?

I really like the Invictus Games Racing Jaguar F-Type SVR GT4 do you know if i can order their parts/ kits.

Ok, so we have narrowed down the topic to the fact that you want something for looks. That being the case, your imagination is your answer as there are literally hundred of wings out there that you can slap onto the rear of your F and probably several hundred more that you can get someone to build for you. A Google search will get you more examples than you probably have time to look at.

One thing you will have to keep in mind is that your soon new to you F-Type has a deployable rear spoiler which automatically rises when you hit 60/70 mph. If you are going to put a wing on you must make sure the wing does not interfere with that spoiler coming up. So, you will most likely have to disconnect it.

However, as some have already mentioned here, a wing is seriously going to detract from the looks of the car but certainly that is entirely one's choice to make. It is your car, your choice.

I reckon it looked fantastic as well, more power to you as i like nothing more than a sports coupe in GT4 format, especially in a front engined car. The XKR-S GT looked fantastic and so does the vantage gt4. Alas i can't put a wing on the back of mine because if I did I wouldnt be able to open the boot in my garage with the door up (which is much more of a PITA than you'd expect if you use the car as a daily).

Have a look at what Arden offers. It seems very exey but it might be a place to start https://www.arden.de/shop/en/jaguar/jaguar-f-type.html

Unless the car has been specified with the fixed rear spoiler ....

A good question to which I have no answer. But I don't see why it shouldn't have been an option, it makes the coupe look cool all the time, not just when below 70mph.

Ah yes, we all have a laundry list of what should have been an option but are not.....

In the case of a 2015 R I don't believe a fixed wing was an option in the US.
