Default Jaguar F-Type Evolution 3.0 V6 Coupe by Piecha Design

I like it except for the fins on the front and side skirts.



From the article:
This is a cosmetic package only starting at the nose end where there's an aerodynamically molded spoiler while the side profile shows new design. The rear of the car hosts a brand spanking new diffuser framed by a color-coded underside and according to Piecha Design the extended frame of the diffuser boosts the car's stability and lowers coefficient of drag while the exhaust tips are now dressed by stainless steel grill inserts.

7 pictures and full article

Those bits still look like cheap pieces of plastic straight out of the JC Whitney catalog. It's just missing a few stick-on side-vent appliques.

This has been posted before and I think the majority view was that it was not an improvement. That's my view.

Looks quite nice to me and they are cheaper than Arden.

Funny its all the German companies that are coming out with kits for the F type.

Not really. Check your original window sticker. The F-Type bits are 65% German, only 31 % British.

I guess it varies from year to year. My '14 is 55% Germany, 39% UK, and 2% US/Canada.

My brain cells are fried from a misspent youth and extended midlife. I do believe your numbers are valid for '14 and '15. I have not studied the '16 stickers yet, but I'd bet still mostly German.

I don't know how valid they are, but I read them directly off my window sticker as I typed. That's what JLR claimed the national content was.

The thing I'd really like to change is the coupes rear spoiler - just doesn't appeal to me cosmetically. Piecha have some nice fixed rear wing options, although you have to disable the standard pop up spoiler to fit them.

Has anyone seen any good after market spoiler options?

You can get most of the items in glossy CF, for 3x the price...

Interesting that my 2014 is the same as Jay's, not Foosh's.

I agree on this point. Definitely prefer the fixed wing. Jaguar UK has a fixed spoiler option. Don't know why we didn't get it in the states.

Probably a slight difference between the options on the V6S vs. my base. It could be as simple as the difference between the 380w vs. the 770w Meridian.

I'm amazed that they calculate the content that closely.
