2016 front splitter on 2011 xj
Can you tell me where you bought your 3 pieces splitter? can't seem to find them on ebay, or anythwere.
Thanks
I have a mina early model 10-15 splitter kit with carbon fiber for sale brand new if anyone wants it. Lmk. 150.00 boo plus shipping. I ended up going with a new 2016 bumper so I can use the kit. And it definitely does not fit the newer style bumper.

2016 front splitter on 2011 xj
I've been looking for the front splitter and the side skirts for my 2016 XJL and I cannot find them anywhere. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks
The center section is recessed about an inch as the design in conjunction with the rear spoiler was designed in a wind tunnel for high speed stability. My XJ has the factory speed package and both front and rear aero bits, and also the max speed limit is increased to 174mph. Even my speedometer is different in that at the 6 o'clock position my speedo shows 110mpg and non speed package or XJRs speedos show 90mph at the 6 o'clock position.
@googsy that front splitter is NOT a 2016 kit, don't know where you got it but definitely not for the new front bumper/LED headlight car. IMHO
not to be a jerk here but any spoiler held on with double sided tape will provide zero high speed stability.. in the 90s nearly every Lexus, Mazda, Tauras, Mustang, camaro, and Intrepid came factory with a wing all for sporty style not for actual performance and the XJL is no different. I currently run an Ed Quay wing on the back of my 8 second big block 77 Nova. This wing provides zero down force but stabilizes the air at the back of the car to make it more stable. This is much different than the Jag wing since it extends 11 inches behind the car. I would like to see the real test data from Jag on that wing that shows a noticable high speed down force difference (more than 500lbs of weight added to the rear tires at high speed). Just remember things like wings, ram air, body kits, and fake brake vents are all marketing and do nothing for actual performance but yet add sporty style to the car.
@ 1bad55chevy. The front splitters are screwed in on the bottoms and the upper part is held on with 3M tape as is the entire rear spoiler. If Jaguar was simply using these additions for looks, it may be true, but works for me.
Like Googsy earlier in this thread, I found a brand new OEM splitter kit on ebay from LKQ. It was incorrectly listed as being for a 2016 model and was much cheaper than the dealer price. So keep your eyes peeled on ebay if you're looking for one.
