However after watching this thread basically since it started, I was wondering if somebody a little more talented could come up with a design concept for a piece I had an idea of.

The biggest problem with adding a decal to these stock spoilers is the angle the spoiler deploys in to. So what if somebody could build a contraption using sheet metal bearings and a couple of tools to implement a drop-down panel to display the decal at a more optimal angle, where it could actually possibly be seen by slightly more elevated cars. Not sure if this can be done as I haven't measured the amount of empty space between the spoiler and the body, but wouldn't it be an interesting project anybody could do to their cat on their own? A piece that can deploy and retract as the spoiler does on its own...
Considering all the effects of air coming over and around that spoiler, I'd be hesitant to go this route. If I understand you correctly, you are thinking of something that when deployed, would essentially act as an aileron on an aircraft, a construction that we use to control the direction of the plane, or an 'air brake" seen on this Eurowings BA-e. Obviously, not the size of this airbrake, but same idea. I think I'll wait for the graphic :-)

I agree. I suspect that spoiler design on our Jaguars, whether fixed or deployable types are developed with the assistance of a wind tunnel and adding a component to it might create all kinds of unexpected consequences.

Excuse my post on this old thread. Just saw this decal set on a car FS on eBay. I assume this is a custom decal? Anyone know? Works especially well with the white.

Yep. There are people who sell them on ebay as well as other sources. This one is more complete that most others, covering the bottom as well. My bet is he had it done at a local wrap place custom.

The wife is voting for something fun and simple. Right now, "Shagadelic!" is the leading candidate. "Purrrrrrrr" and "Bloody Hell!" are in contention, too.

I, an ingrate, could not conjure a classier design to mind than plastering "SEND NUDES" across the underside of my spoiler.
The idea of flashing folks with the deployable spoiler while making a pass has me foaming at the mouth trying to hold in the laughter.

Problem of the spoilers on a convertible is the angle you are looking at it.

From down below it looks great. But if you drive behind the jag in a normal car, you can only guess what it should look like.

Doesn´t matter, for me it looks great!

I'm one who's struggling with the factory spoiler. The car is all curves and flowing lines, then the spoiler is square with hard edges. To add insult to injury, the exposed area looks like crap. I had a Porsche with a deploying spoiler. It was nested in a fixed spoiler, and when it deployed you just saw the 2 chrome extending rods. And it was completely finished/painted matched the rest of the car. This is a Jag fail, but with high speed events part of the plan, I'm not going to disable it. Spending 1K+ to address is way down on the to-do list.

I would love to at least have it finished in some way, the stick/graphic could work. Any links for US?

Not sure if you saw his earlier posts. He made some and we could buy them. I bought the grey and it went in very easily.

I went a slightly different route - i don't leave the spolier deployed when its parked often, but gives me a little chuckle thinking someone might see it and get a wee laugh of out of it
