Some of this is on the speed pack spoiler post. I could not find much information on this when I set out to change to the more aggressive front end of the RS and rear splitter and RS spoiler.

Some parts I bought new, some came second hand.

The full rears I copied in GRP plastic. I thought the info I have discovered may help other who want to change to the RS body work. The replica rears I have and are available, and have now supplied a few now.

The main difference is sills, and front and rear bumpers. The sills are not absolutely necessary, but do finish the look. About £385 for the two from Jag.

Fitting the sills is very easy to do, and hour at the outside. I will try to explain in easy to follow steps if anyone is interested of what you need, and how to do this. Its the hours of finding the answers that takes the time. Like how is the sill held on?, where are the bumper bolts and how to remove it.

The main issue is the price of the parts. The rear splitter is £850 UK pounds inc vat, then the sides are £420 pounds from Jaguar each. About $1750 US.

The bumper kin is the same on all models. So the parts fit onto any rear skin.

The the front is the same story, and approximately the same price for the splitter and side panels. The skin is different and the parts only fit the RS skin.

You will also need the plastic under pan that attaches under the radiators and new washer pump brackets, and washer jet covers, as the XK are different to the XKRS. These are cheap enough though.
This is where we are up to, will post more later.

The fitment of the rear spoiler is on the other post. If anyone needs more details on this please ask.

 

Loving the new look. Good job!!!

 

Have tried 20mm spacers on the front and rear. Too wide on the rear, mad in fact, maybe too wide on the front. Have some 15mm on the way will see what they do. front and rear.

 

Love your work. Looks like your having a lot of fun with you car.

For the complete R-S conversion what parts can you supply in graphite(GRP) and at what cost in US $s.

Also what parts are required from Jaguar.

I'm trying to get a total cost for all US/Canada members interested in doing this.

 

Great job and looks fantastic.

You said:
"The full rears I copied in GRP plastic."

You made the rears yourself? Like, making the mold and laying up and painting? Are you a professional at such skills? Impressive work if you did the composite work and impressive even if you did not. What is GRP plastic? I am very familiar with glass, kevlar and carbon composites, epoxy resins etc.

Love the color too. Gorgeous car!

I made the centre splitter and left and right side, a copy of the original.
They cost £835 UK pounds, $1305 delivered.

The lower rear is a good look, only the XKR-S has this splitter.

 

Love to see a picture of your car with 20mm's front and back if you took any.
Looks great and what a nice shop to work on your car!

 

GRP = Glass Reinforced Plastic = fibreglass. The plastic matrix can be all sorts - usually epoxy, can be thermoplastic or other compounds. Unders can confirm what he's used, but I'd guess epoxy.

 

Do you have prices for the front? Splitter and the side vents that the reflector goes on. What is the total conversion cost?

 

Greate work very talented , which head lights are you using ??. BL

 

Hi, away at the moment. Will get back to you end if next week when I have my lap top. The rear and sides can be done with ease. The car has the 2012 lights already. For full conversion, you need front bumper, side fins, splitter, washer holders, washer covers, 2011 onwards wings and headlamps, grills, badges, top trim vent covers.
Worth doing though, they look great. Easy to fit too.

 

Beautiful. I'd love to see a before and after when everything is complete.

 

Also extremely interested in the results and if they could be done to a '10 XKR.

 

It can be made to any model 2006 on.

On the 2010 you need two front wings, and two headlamps also. The rest is listed here. You can do it in stages. Rear end first, lower splitter and sides. Then the sills, and front. I just collect the bits I needed, some I made copies of.

The sills take an hour to fit for example. If you need any help with bits let me know.

 

Do you make a kit? There's definitely alot of interest around here.

Definitely sign me up if you make one. First thing I'm doing after getting off warranty.

 

This is not the full kit. You need to start collecting the bits you need. For example buy a bumper front skin and have it painted. You can buy on e bay, they are all the same as long as it has no damage.

I can supply this at half the price for GRP.

Jaguar XKR-S Replica Rear Lower Defuser and side panels | eBay

The post on this is about $170 to the USA sent three out so far.


You also need the front bumper side spats grills and badges.

I can supply the front splitter and the full lower rear set. These are £1900 from Jaguar. Mina can supply the front lower also. These are the very expensive bits. Private message me if you need help. I fitted mine on a 12 month old car.
There is only the washers I would imagine they would not cover under warranty. The rest is just plastic.
You also need the rear spoiler from Mina. The side sills. Other small parts I can list for you. I spent a few months collecting parts until I did the job.

 

Looks Great! where did you purchase the front spoiler or lower lip from and how much please?

 

I have a copy available on the post above.

 

I have jaguar xk 2008
can I make it like the car in picture ?

Thank you

 

Yes, it can be done, but you'll need to find the parts and someone with the skills to fit them.
