Default Spoiler Deploy Graphic Reveal

Thinking about adding some sort of 'under spoiler' graphic so that when it is deployed it shows the logo:

The leaper and wordmark are still there on the top of the spoiler.

Same, that was how I came up with the original proportions, but as you pointed out, it doesn't look as good at that size under the spoiler.

I'm talking with a vendor now, I'll get a quote back soon on cost and they would like to know how many I want. I'll follow up with costs here. I may make some sort of poll for people to lodge their interest, and to inquire with you all as to whether you would like to have them done in any other color.

FOR THE TIME BEING, PLEASE LIKE THIS POST IF YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING A DECAL SET

If there is enough interest, I may get some made in white, gray, and black. As of right now these have been designed to have subtle contrast with Ammonite Gray, I'll probably make them a little bit darker than in the examples I have shown above.

Thats a cool idea! Hadn't thought of the Brit flag, was also considering the leaper.

It’s the factory spoiler, just a close up shot. I’ve got that decal on the under side of the spoiler as well as on the lower bit.

This was last year before the HIPCAT plate. It's not as visible as it would seem, most cars are taller, but I left it on. One must not take ones self too seriously.

I love the idea, but I'm not into flashy things, so why not just have JAGUAR in a slightly different color than the car. Something that does not catch the eye, but instead speaks to the subconscious. "Ghost Graphics" kind of like the way the cops do it.

I agree with cujet's suggestion of reflective "ghost flames".

Joking aside, this could be pretty cool! Here are some new ideas, the gray one could function the way you are talking about:



I can make a mockup of basically any ideas y'all have, keep em coming!

Given the underside of the spoiler is at 40 degrees or so you will need to alter the height of the writing so when viewed from a car behind it will stay in perspective. Not sure if that means stretching or compressing the height of any writing before getting your decal printed so do some testing first.

Yup you're definitely right about that. I found another thread where someone put a leaper on theirs, and doubled the height of it vertically to account for the perspective shift. I am going to do that, as well as warp the shape from rectangular to a trapazoid. I'm definitely going to test print as well!!

FOR EXAMPLE:

Kevin_jag, that is some cool artwork. I have an ammonite grey coupe and the ghost graphics would be perfect. Like others, not into "flashy" and this understated Jaguar would be my preference. Thank you for all your work on this!

I would love to see one for the convertible but every one I have found has been for the coupe.

This is what I did with mine. A leaper sticker which has a decent aspect ratio from straight behind. It's pretty tricky to get anything to look ok from behind due to the angle of the spoiler and very limited visible area.
