Do you mean the rear diffuser, i messaged them to see if it will fit the xkr, it's says xk, but i think on the xk and xkr the exhaust opening on each side start in the same place, so it should.
The side skirts on the site selling them are a ridiculous price.

Have bought some things off them from time to time. They haven't got any new products in a long time, same items as i seen last year. They are been left behind by other accessory shops IMO.

Side skirts here,

The rear setup is not the same as the 2008 R-S, which looks like this:

Exclamation 2012 XKRS Full Bodykit to fit 2007 XKR

I have recently acquired an 2012 XKRS bodykit, and before it is shipped I wanted to ask if it can be fitted. It's an OEM part and cost a few quid so wanted to ensure it fits the bill?

Can anyone help here?

The biggest problem you’ll have is the headlights. The size/shape of the 2012 vs the 2007. Your current headlights won’t fit with that body.
You could upgrade to the 2012 headlights, but others have had problems doing that. Suggest you search this forum to see if anyone has successfully done that, and if there are any hints on how to make them work.

What is included with this “Kit”? There is a vendor who offers a complete face lift package including harnesses and modules for all electrics, washers, etc to function correctly.

That's very helpful, as I wanted to change these anyway, will search to find success!

It's from another car so all the bits and pieces are still in tact, which you point out. One off I think.

If you need assistance putting it together, Steve at Cotswold in Chipping Norton is a specialist in XKR-S conversions and has all of the parts needed
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/COTSWOLD-AUTOPATRTS

The sides and rear are simple to do with no modifications, but any changes to the front will require a full conversion including wings, bumper cover, washers, headlamps & harnesses.

Rear diffuser, only comes in carbon fibre he said, £939.30

So a grand total of £1639.53
Any one seen cheaper

Hi, I would like to buy this XKRS body Kit, do you know if this aerodynamic kit is adaptable on my 2008 XKR model ?

Thanks in advance for your help !

I recognized the car and it is fellow member GhostriderXKR08. He hasn't been on the forum for some time so not much hope of contacting him.
So all sorted I think.

Hi, where I can buy this XKRS kit ???
Thanks in advance !

Hello Surfppct
Last I spoke with Chris at Mina he no longer carried the complete kit
I’ve got The rear diffuser part of this kit (Looking to sell it contact me)
Also have the part number for the front diffuser which you could purchase from Cliff @ Columbia jaguar.
That just leaves you with having to find the side rocker panels... Chris at Mina has those.
anyhow if you’re interested in the rear diffuser let me know we can work something out
thanks
merry Xmas

Surfppct,
I also admired GhostriderXKR08's car, and although I have a 2010 XKR I wanted it to look similar. I contacted Chris at Mina Galleries and was able to purchase the side skirts and the front splitter from him. I liked the rear diffuser/bumper from F/X Designs better, so I purchased that from them out of Chicago. Chris still has the molds for the parts to the kit, but doesn't have them in stock, so it takes him a little time to get them made. Good luck with your project. By the way, the front splitter is made up of three pieces, I had the pieces joined and smoothed over to look as one piece.

Hi Tberg, thanks a lot for your information and pics 👍, sure i would like same side skirts and front lip like yours XKR !!!
so the best way is to contact cliff from mina gallery ? And deal with him for the XKRS kit + the rear diffuser ?

Do you think he could be shipped pieces to France ?

Will have to look on Monday, got a few pictures but none close enough to see the fittings. Read somewhere that there are two screws...
