Nice find. Even at $684 that's a bit steep. You still need to have it painted. The light is a nice addition. I'm not so sure it's worth the cost over the lip spoiler on the earlier XFs. This one isn't bad:

No, they are purely a styling feature at those speeds. They can also suck more dirt onto the back of the car.

There was a brand new blue one for sale on UK ebay for £180.00 (approx. $271), a few days ago, but I missed it... Jaguar XF Speed Pack Boot Lid Spoiler | eBay
I just sent them a message to see if they have any more and what they'd charge to ship to the U.S. (if they would). I'll keep everyone posted...

Also offer him a group buy to see if we can get some discounts, rather than 1 time bulk purchase see if he can do a coupon code (Which ebay allows him to)
for us to use , so we can get the color we want and individually shipped to our location.
Just a thought,
Let us know how it goes either way !

Will do. They (UK folks) still haven't gotten back to me yet. But, I was just talking to Chris at Mina about doing a carbon fiber spoiler for me, so I'll ask about this option, as well. Thanks...

I ask because I just replied to Mina's email and brought it up about bulk group buys.
And I'm more interested in the XF-R's spoiler than the XFR-S ( a bit too ricey for me) but still a beautiful look to the car
Not necessarily for discount purposes (the discounts I ask for is to help convince others to try joining the group buys)
but trying to get group buys to help the company grow, and the bigger mina grows .. the more options of parts will be offered to us.
I asked if he wanted me to keep his prototypes a hush hush for development or copyright problems and haven't heard anything so I won't mention those.
but if anyone else is interested I asked about group buys on their parts PM me and i'll see what we can do.
I'll keep you all posted about the rear Spoiler to see if I can get more details, it looks like a lot of us are interested in this.

Kyu, I was asking Chris at Mina about the Speed Pack rear spoiler, which was shown in the pictures above. And, for clarity, I believe the XFR-S actually has two rear spoiler options; 1) the huge wing-type with the carbon fiber horizontal plane, and 2) a more subtle option (which I've never seen, but is probably the Speed Pack rear spoiler). But, I believe the XFR-S rear spoiler that most of us are familiar with from the myriad of press releases, etc., and which I believe you're referencing, is that huge wing-type with the carbon fiber horizontal plane (in which I seriously doubt any of us are interested).
The Speed Pack rear spoiler is very different from the XFR-S huge wing-type spoiler, and falls in the middle of the OEM options; it's more aggressive than the standard lip-style XFR rear spoiler, but significantly less aggressive than the XFR-S wing-type rear spoiler (see attached pix for reference).
So, I asked Chris at Mina about a few options and even sent him the link to this thread, so he could chime into the group, etc. Specifically regarding the rear spoilers, I asked him the following:
1) Could he make an XFR OEM lip-style rear spoiler in carbon fiber (to match the rest of the Mina CF stuff I currently have on my rig; hood louvers, front lip splitter, rear valance and diffuser)
2) Could he acquire and replicate the Speed Pack rear spoiler, even if it doesn't incorporate the rear light (which he told me several months ago could be difficult)
I know he's on the left coast and is a night owl, so I haven't heard back from him yet and don't expect to until a lot later today. Plus, it sounds like he's got several emails to which he needs to respond from all of us, which could delay him (which is why I gave him the forum thread link).

I didn't see any XFR-S with the lip spoilers so I just assumed they'll be offered only with the wing type spoiler
I'm excited to see what response MG has for us. Replica or in-house designed MG has fine quality so I'm excited to see what they're going to offer us
I'm more curious to see pics of your vehicle Reaxions :P
gonna have to look you up now to see if i can catch a glimps of your vehicle with carbon fiber parts
thanks for the update ! good work my man

I spoke to Chris at Mina over the weekend... he ordered a Speed Pack spoiler and will get to work on replicating it. He said he was already working on finishing the XFR-S spoiler, and the Speed Pack spoiler shouldn't be any trouble. He also said he was able to source the integrated third (fourth, in this case) brake light, which he thought would be a lot harder to do than it turned out to be. I notified him of the interest from numerous forum members, and I'm waiting on him to get back with me regarding cost (with and without the brake light), time frame until available, expected installation complexity, etc. I'll post when I hear back...
