Let's face it, these spoilers are not only pretty good aerodynamic aides, they're also speed limit litmus tests. On a highway, Porsches, semis, and first responders are easily identified as they they blast by. But, our F-Types? Not so much.
The decals would auspiciously provide the answer for the proverbial WTF? question to the proles. And having the decal in highly-reflective red will not only serve to burn that answer like a beacon into their psyche, they would probably even provoke an "Envious?" query in response.
Dunno... I guess the color choice ranges from "Stealth" to "Gloat". I wonder if I should get more than one.
Wealll, maybe...
While I admit to self-interest, I see this as more akin to the "Just the facts, Ma'am" descriptive (i.e. positive) variant of the term.
And while I do acknowledge that the decal may trigger Envy, I <uhh, ahem> am making the claim that this is more serendipitous than actual intent.
And, yup, my post was an obvious example of the other deadly sin of Pride. In my defense, however, it's kinda hard to be humble when making any comment about one of these vehicles.
Don't want derail Kevin's thread and idea but because you asked. I chose the largest size (10") and it worked out well. Only took 3 days to arrive and was effortless to install once I figured out the measurements. A little lower on the spoiler makes it more visible from behind. Felt the leaper and the text together were too busy but others may not. Five colors to pick from.

Man I really am disappointed that the Leaper couldn't be printed with the reflective lettering, I really liked how the shape turned out. AFAIK there aren't any solid (not outline) versions of the leaper floating around. They told me the shape was too intricate/had too many small details to be printed for transfer cut. I don't know if that was a cutting restriction or a material restriction. But seeing yours, it definitely seems like a similar level of complexity. I plan to look into it eventually, but for now am happy with the JAGUAR wordmark.
I wonder if there is a decal site where I can upload the design and people can order it direct from the manufacturer....
I agree Kevin and would have preferred a solid leaper but had no luck in my search efforts. The 10 inch outline still works for me and gives the spoiler a nice touch and my neighbor's really like the
addition..
I like the leaper but I have a question. Given that there are horizontal grooves on the underside surface of the spoiler, isn't dust, dirt and moisture eventually going to get in under the decal and create issues ?
Great question Dwight. The grooves are so minimum and my car never gets dirty so it was worth placing the leaper on the spoiler instead of the black plastic lower section. And at only 10 dollars a pop, I'll just replace it down the road if necessary.
Nice Valerie! I'm so excited to see these on people's cars. I guess this answers the question of what the reflective surface on the dark gray decals looks like. I suspect if you took a photo without flash, we would be able to see a better example of the color of the decal itself.
Firstly, full credit/thanks and recognition to @kevin_jag for all the ground work he put in to design the Jaguar spoiler decals for our F-Types. Having found the original thread late last year, I missed out on the batch that @kevin_jag had ordered, so set about sourcing a UK supplier.
After a few exchanges with vehicle graphics companies, I settled on a supplier called Zen Graphics (Zen Graphics). They provided me with a custom JAGUAR spoiler decal (2 x actually), which I have now installed. The vinyl decal was really high quality with both backing paper and transfer layer just right in terms of adhesion. This made application really easy and the end result is first class. I don't have any affiliation to Zen Graphics, but just wanted to bump this thread back to life in case others are looking to install a spoiler graphic on their F-Type (coupe). Currently they have Union Jack and JAGUAR graphics available on the website, but I'm sure they would produce a custom Leaper if you contacted them with dimensions. They came back to me next day when I requested the custom JAGUAR decal. The JAGUAR decal is product id 26708 for reference. Hope this is of use to someone.
