I've searched the interwebz a fair bit for F-Type mudflaps and I'm pretty sure there ain't no such thing, and definitely no OEM ones.
All I can find are generic ones which are claimed to fit the F-Type but they look terrible, I doubt they would fit even remotely neatly even if they could be fitted, and they would undoubtedly look horrible once fitted.
But those ones ronniet has look pretty damn good, I smell a group buy coming on as long as they don't cost a fortune!

I bought a pair of Fender guards from Jaguar. Think I found them as an accessory JAF0146_1E - Front Wheel Spats - T2R12665, T2R12666
These disperse the brake dust from the front a little better and look nice:

Need to have something made out of a similar material to these, but be a bit longer for the rear end.....any designers out there?

"Right now they're $99. Normal price is $124."
I ordered a set, he's local to me. I'll report back

With standard shipping, worked out at just over £110 for any Brits reading this.

3m is semi permanent, i.e. it's a tw@t to get off.
Small patches of black industrial Velcro works well for this kind of thing.

Yeah, but it depends how big the guards are. If they hinder removal of the wheel arch liner then I'd prefer to avoid 3M, as I presume they need to remove those every year to replace air filters etc. Velcro is an option but will see what else I can figure out.

Depending on their shape and placement it may be possible to drill holes through the mud flaps and wheel arch liners and insert scrivets into those holes, that is how the front mud flaps on XFs and XJs are attached. But of course if they are real CF it may be difficult to drill holes without risk of damage.

I received my Carbon Fender Guards yesterday and installed them.
They're attached to the fender lip with 3M adhesive and two small screws. The screws were optional, but I wanted them to be secure. I made a 90 mile round trip after installing them and they stay attached.
They're very subtle and look OEM. Unless you're looking for them, you won't notice them.
Verdict: 5/5 would buy again.
