Default Looking for rear diffuser fins

A while back I saw a company that was making just the fins for the rear valance. I can’t seem to find it. Does anyone else remember seeing it?

Maxton does make a few F-Type pieces, but have not seen rear diffusers...

if you have a V6 then you can replace the whole rear valance/diffuser to the oem jaguar carbon fiber diffuser, it comes with fins. most of the add on fins are usually universal and you just need to find the closest fit you stock rear.

Bloody hell, not at that price!
Over $4,600 AU with postage then I would need the combo reversing/fog lights as well so probably well over $5,000 AU just for some fins and CF, I don't think so!

I have a 2016 R No interest in carbon fiber at this point.

Do fins actually "do" anything aero on these cars if you have the "aero stuff"....and are going under say 120mph....
TIA

(they may look great though....not sure actually on this car if "adding" more stuff adds or detracts given it is a masterpiece as is)

For me it’s the look. I’ve seen them on a few of the F-types and I like it. I don’t want it to look like some of the cars with all the cheap stuff stuck all over it.

Yes, they do actually add to the aerodynamics on cars. Thus why Jaguar added them to the SVR and Project 7 models (and other manufacturers put them on high performance cars). Now, does it make any/much difference poking around town? Not likely...but at higher speeds, it affects the air coming from the rear of the car to add stability and reduce turbulence.

And...Many just do get them for the looks...Personal taste.

I added the SVR rear diffuser to mine because I do drive well over 150 MPH at airstrip races. AND I like the looks
