So I know some like the OEM spoiler and some don't , I wasn't a great fan but saw one on a caledra red car like mine so decided to go for it, lucky enough I bought one from a seller on another forum who sold his white f-type, he bought the spoiler as an afterthought from jaguar and had it fitted, comes with all to fit, base plate and module so no programming hopefully needed. Off to painters now and then to fit.
Don’t forget to locate the correct pentalobe bit to remove the retaining bolts. When I did mine I mistakenly thought I had the correct one only to find out that I had torx head bits instead of the pentalobes.
Definitely changes the look of the car, some don’t like it but I think it is an improvement.

You fitted yourself, had you the plate with the module is it just plug and play no issues with messages or warnings. And yes on the retaining bolts I did try and found I had the wrong type so ordered set of 5 star ones off Amazon. It's been sprayed the weekend, the previous owner had it sprayed white, he said it came attached together primed the base and spoiler, I thought I might need to separate so I loosened the rear screws and tried to pull apart but no joy so will have to be sprayed in one piece.
Any more fitting tips, when I take off the current spoiler I activate the up button on the spoiler, it says lot when spoiler is up, it probably go out when disconnected

Yes I installed it myself, used the DYI that therock88 posted. Very easy install. The module is plug&play and no codes will come up. Works perfectly.

Yeah...The fixed "Sport Design Rear Spoiler (Fixed)" does not come apart, and has to be sprayed/painted intact.
On the install...MY DIY HERE may help you out. Lots of good info.

Thanks for link therock88 on fitting, is shows part on programming but there is none needed, the instruction booklet is just all pictures also, Im taking out the old base plate and replacing it with the new plate that has the module to stop any codes, it also has the plates attached on the back for fitting the spoiler itself,
The picture below is my new base plate,
Red arrow the module
Blue arrows to transfer the earth wires that are there I presume.
The part I've circled in Orange has a type of threaded copper bolt and small pin, according to the booklet I have to transfer something from the old base to this one is that correct, what is it for?
The other 2 pictures the red arrow is the other electrical part

My reference to programming was to disable the OEM deployable wing/spoiler(not if you have the fixed wing with the module....the module takes care of that)...And yes, you remove that piece from the old plate and install on the new one as indicated.
Aww man I damn near pulled the trigger on one of these that was already painted BRG, just screw in and go. But since I'm basically a 5 yr old child, I decided not to because I liked watching the rear spoiler go up and down. Nice grab!
