My '96 it had been hit in the front and the PO put on a bumper cover from an earlier facelift model.
I have a correct bumper cover but some of the other under body parts are missing and I can't find a good diagram or pictures of what should be there.
I know I'm missing the brake ducts but not sure what else is missing.
I have the SNG Barratt catalog and Jaguar parts fiche (just up to 1993) but neither has a good picture of the parts for a 1996 Conv.
Any help with a good parts breakdown and/or pictures of the area would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Yes, that helped. Thanks.
The main part that I'm missing is the Spoiler undertray PN BEC14385
Naturally, No Longer Available.
If anyone has an extra one hiding in their garage give me a shout!
Just did a search on the part number and found a number of old posts here o the forum.
There's one on ebay for $189.50 plus 47.50 shipping.
Think I'll get some cardboard, make a template and make my own.
Call Paul’s. I’m pretty sure he has them, and he’s probably the one that’s selling it on eBay.
I bought one from him. No issues.
ask him for the install kit. It’s a bunch of screws and friction anchors. You can buy them a lot less at a store, but it’s just simpler to know that you got everything you need for a proper install

Thanks for the tip but I'm cheap! $237.00 from Paul's vs.a $30 sheet of ABS plastic, some hardware and a few hours of my time.
It's just a flat piece of plastic with a few holes in it. Easy project.
I built my own a while ago. A bit unwieldly, but certainly doable.
The trick is how to attach the mid section to the car, which has a gap of an inch or two. I think I used a PVC fitting which I glued to the back and then used an appropriately sized screw.

you probably won’t be able to fabricate the brake ducts, however

I'm not at all worried about overheating the brakes.
Many years ago it might have been an issue but my days of tearing up the tail of the dragon are long gone.

Im doing the same. I bought a sheet of 1/8" PVC from Tap Plastics in CA. $54.00 shipped. I haven't got to it yet. Some plastic bar stock with a hole in it will take care of the spacer. The next project is to find some fabric or rubber bellows to use for the brake ducts. Here is the drawing.

You can still buy the left hand duct pretty cheaply from Jaguar. It's been some years since I took mine apart, but I THINK you might be able to also use a LH one and get it to somehow fit the RH side.

can confirm that the left one will work as a right one as well. The rubbery material is soft enough.
