Has anyone fitted one of the ebay boot spoilers like this one:

Painted Jaguar S-Type 4D Rear Boot Lip Spoiler 98 08

Want one for mine but wanted to make sure it was good enough quality befre i buy.

 

I have look here for a couple ok pictures: Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum - joycesjag's Album: Joyces Jaguar

They feel flimsy, but when mounted it firms right up. I am happy with it.

Yours comes painted, nice!! Mine was double the price and had to get it painted.

Take your time when installing, here is another link for that, look at reply #4: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...spoiler-52307/

 

Perfect thread, I've wanted to pick one of those up for my Stype too. Loogs great!

 

Hi, who wide was your 3m double sided tape, and what was the length required
to run the length of the spoiler !. Thanks.

 

Answered via PM before I saw this post to this thread.

 

IN a threadsurrection, I think it takes away the tumble-home bumble back look and adds a bit of up lift. Anyone if it actually adds downforce in any substantial amount? Jag just did it for the $ differential of the R?

 

In today's world the STR is not really a true performance vehicle. I think you'll find that the rear spoilers are just for appearance....

 

Agreed; unless it's a "whale tail" that comes with a supercar. Had factory spoilers on old Camaros, and even on an Infiniti Q45t. Was it noticeable in "normal" driving? No. A tasteful one similar to stock STRs does enhance the appearance by giving the impression of a more aggressive model. Like a XK-R.

I will eventually get one for my S, but only if prepainted and reasonable in price.

 

Here's one that seems amazingly cheap-PVC no doubt but even so...

And, like Ford's Model T...."You can have it in any color, as long as it's Black."


May account for the price.

 

One benefit of buying a black car. What I save in paint I lose in car soap...

 

This could be thread jacking, but would anybody go this far...

In order to create an eddy current for the wipers? I think it'd disturb the flow of air on the screen/shield.

 

I wonder if it's for the lower to center of gravity or more drag nut..
