Powerhouse,
I just lowered mine with a set of H&R, got the factory 19" powdered coated gloss black and ordered a set of 15mm spacers. Can't wait to get the spacers installed and get that wheel well filled out. Did you get the camber adjusted with the lowered height or does yours have a slight negative stance? Mine wasn't adjusted so it's negative but it handles and feels great.
Car looks great. Any performance mods?

Mine has the rear diffuser that comes R Dynamic package, black diffuser, side skirts and front splitter, I've Maxton Design side extensions. As I said was going to paint mine but like the strip. The body colored design pack has body colored moulding around exhaust, side body colored skirts and body colored front splitter.

That's a fantastic looking car, up there with the best I've seen. I really like the front. Pinstripe is better than paint IMO, easier to fix if it gets a scuff and fully reversible. i put one across the front diffuser.
Your XKR was one of the the best I'd seen as well.

I have VAP lowering springs so not as low as some (7/8" vs 1.25" for H&R springs for example) and I haven't noticed any problems with the increased negative camber, the inner edges of the rear tyres have worn only a little more than the rest of the tread and the handling is still spot on. I had a wheel alignment done straight after the lowering springs were fitted some 3.5 years ago and it has never needed another alignment since.
This stands in contrast to what happened with my old XFS when I had Eibach lowering springs fitted (about 1" lower at the rear IIRC), the inner edges of the rear tyres then wore out damn fast.
So either the F-Type suspension is more forgiving of lowering springs and/or it was down to the tyres (new MPS4S on the F-Type vs half worn Bridgestone Potenza S01 "pole position" on the XFS).

Powerhouse,
I have been looking for a diffuser such as yours but have had no luck. To my knowledge I don’t think Jaguar separates the R Dynamic package with a separate diffuser. Do you have the rear sensors and camera installed?
BTW, the pinstripes look much better to me than the body colored design.

Powerhouse,
Thanks very much for the reference. From your picture, I would imagine that you added a bottom lip to the diffuser. Is that correct?
Mine is just the stock, non-carbon fiber, and now I am playing with the idea of painting the flat panels gun metal gray and then running a pinstripe along the top and bottom as you have on yours.

Pin-Striping Tape Product?
Is there a pin-striping tape product that anyone has used that holds up well and does not inflict permanent damage to the clear-coat?
