Default Which spoiler do you like

Based on what I have seen/read there are 4 spoilers for the XK. One being the low profile standard one and then there is the dynamic pack taller one and then the XKR-S wing. The last which is far a few between is the large wing on the GT. I have the standard one and someday will upgrade to the taller dynamic pack on as that is the one I like. What's everyone's feeling or choice.
Maybe another question is who likes the pop-up spoiler on the F-Type and do you think it would have worked with the XK designed tail. Food for thought.

I like the XKRS wing if you want sporty, but actually like them all.

I prefer the smaller stock one. The larger dynamic pack looks decent too, the XKR-S looks completely "out of place" to me, like something a "boy racer" 18 year old Asian kid would put on his 240SX.

I like the standard one and thought the dynamic pack one was a little oversized, though I wouldnt say no to it. I wasnt that keen on the XKRS wing in photos but it looks great in the flesh. I love the wing on the GT (I try to have class but I cant help myself). Given the height of the standard spoiler with the hatch up, the GT wing must hit about 9 foot in the air with the hatch up so it'd be potentially problematic for me in the garage. I already have to close the panel lift door before I open the hatch otherwise the spoiler hits the door when it is recessed.

My first Jaguar was the 2011 XKR 175. I sold it and missed it so much I had to buy a replacement. I replaced it with a 2013 XKR w/dynamic pack and performance exhaust options. When I bought my second Jaguar I was looking for a black XKR-S or XKR w/dynamic pack and performance options for the performance, sound, backup camera and updated LED lights.. When I first seen a XKR-S I thought the wing looked a bit too much for the car. However, I come to like it know and I even like the standard spoiler. The most important thing IMO is for the car to look unmolested and clean to design. So, my answer is I like them all except the rare GT spoiler.

The most beautiful, to me, is the taller "dynamic" spoiler. The XKR just looks incredible with it, as it should.

The XKR-S wing is OK. Honestly, if it'd been available, I would've chosen to have a large integrated carbon fiber spoiler (think C7 Z06) instead of the "micro-wing".

I find the GT's full wing to be pretty awful, in terms of aesthetics. And I'm a big wing fan...

I'd pick whichever one has the more aero effect.

Have to say the dynamic pack spoiler looks nice. Has a nicer line to it.
This GT wing is rather awesome as well and apparently functional. That price tag though...ouch.
