Default Looking for a chin spoiler.

Not one like a body kit but just a small spoiler that's about as wide as the grille opening and about 4 inches from the body to the ground.

Not sure what to suggest, but my XK8 has an Arden kit on it, and my Charger has a spoiler from a '69 Camaro on it....

Either of these looks what you're thinking of?

The one like on the Charger is close but to big. My 70 Nova has a 69 Camaro spoiler again to big. I was hoping some company made one for our cars.

It's about as big as the one on the back of the Charger.... a broken down Range Rover probably weighs about as much as a 40 yard skip.....

...I'll have you know that my Range Rover regularly, and with 100% reliability, gets me to it's unscheduled road side liaisons with tow trucks and the subsequent free rides home.... one of the most fuel efficient vehicles, per mile traveled, I've ever owned.....

Yes - I had one like that. Mine had a special dealer option whereby it rusted very quickly from both inside and outside at the same time to the extent that it was about half a ton lighter after five years, and therefore even more fuel efficient than when it left the factory.
I NEVER offer advice on this forum, but if I were towing a skip behind my XK8, I would at least try to match the convertible top of the skip with the colo(u)r of the one on the car.

You had a special Range Rover indeed.. rusted? Mine's alumin(I)um.....

Good point about matching the convertible tops though.... I'm off to buy a blue tarp for the Jag.... see ya.
