Default Where does it stop?!

Couple of questions for everyone. Who makes a good front splitter for a 2015 XKR?
Also a rear diffuser?
CF side skirt extensions?
Trying to do some carbon fiber accessories but wanted the CF to reasonably match.
I’m looking at the side mirror covers the hood louver vents, front splitter, rear diffuser, side skirt extensions, etc.
Anyone know if a front fog light CF trim ring is available anywhere as well?

thoughts on wrapping the front chrome grill trim ring? Or paint black?

And do parts interchange like side mirror covers from an XK to an XE or XF?

Also best outdoor car cover for the money? Something good but not crazy expensive? Maybe cover craft? Saw mix reviews for them. I know California car cover is probably the best but they are super expensive.

tho’ts anyone?
thanks!

Here's a recent thread about outdoor car covers:

Call Chris at Mina Galleries in Reseda, CA. When I bought my XKR many years ago, I purchased the side extensions and the front splitter from him. They matched the OEM ones from the Speed Pack option (I believe that's what it was called ) almost perfectly. They weren't in carbon fiber but he retains the moulds for them and can probably make them for you. The front splitter which I've wrecked on numerous occasions, although not still shown on his website can be special ordered. Below are a couple of pictures of my car with the skirt extensions and the front splitter.


On this splitter, the factory splitter and the one from Mina comes in three pieces. On the first one I purchased which is shown above, we blended the three pieces together because it looked better than the original. However, after numerous replacements, I now have the 3 piece splitter as it was just too much work to join them each time. There is a center piece and 2 side pieces that overlap each other where they join. I just don't have any current photos of that, and my car is at the shop having new shocks put on. I can take some pictures later in the week.

Genuine Jaguar parts will fit and look best but hard to find and expensive. Jag never offered CF side skirts, the only CF rear diffuser from Jag was the R-S version which can sometimes be found from Jag parts resellers. The only front CF splitter was for the R-S GT and costs thousands. Genuine CF mirrors and bonnet vents can be found but cost hundreds.

Mina Gallery have some aftermarket fiberglass CF bits for front, side and rear but would advise having a competent body ship fit them as they're a bit fidley and require paint. They've also got mirror and bonnet fiber glass CF covers (not replacements like the genuine ones)

An inexpensive alternative to real carbon fiber is to overlay your OEM front splitter and rear diffuser with hydrodipped CF film. See https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-cover-236884/

Here's my Engine Appearance Cover:

thanks. I love the look of yours. And I was going to send you a message by the way, but your message box is full. My headliner is sagging and was wondering if you can still get the correct looking headliner material for a warm charcoal interior? If you can, I would like to order however much you think I’m going to need and is that foam backed in or do you buy that separately? Either way I would appreciate your help if I could order some of that in the correct color whatever that is. Thanks.
