X350 trunk wing/spoiler?

My X358 has one, but it's a bit small, and I suspect you need to be doing 200 mph before it has any effect. To get to that speed, you'd have to drive off Beachy Head

To each his own I guess. I personally love the way my X350 looks, even over the X358 redesign. No scoops or wing required. Once mine hits fast enough to need the downforce of a spoiler, the designers already has the suspension drop 15mm, and shocks go to firm, which further reduces the need for the spoiler. I still wished the B99 would have made it to production.

Unfortunately I do not remember.
Apparently many such spoilers get rejected during quality control for any defect including very minor scratches.
They get resold and that is how I obtained mine.
Just like most spoilers on cars it is for looks and has no practical value.
I happen to like the look a lot. I really do not like the lip spoilers .
Its one of many modifications I have made to my car.
The only other modification I want now is window tinting.

Something's wrong
Edit: You're joking about adding a false spoiler right? Unless you still wear short pants, or bellbottoms of the same era.
Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, knows they are useless false wonky crapo on a normal car.
And as already pointed out, this car already makes automatic changes to the suspension if you want to go 2+ times over the speed limit whatever...
(Well not the one pictured, the Trabant needs the spoiler above 20kph I spose. To avoid trabanting)

I have had responses like the one in the previous post and some that are very positive.
The "lip" spoiler in my view is kinda wimpy and does not look at all good.

LOL. I don't think that spoils the look of the Trabant at all - all it's missing now is some Go-Fast stripes!!
Jackra - Beautiful XJR you have there. I don't think I have ever seen anything but Lip spoilers on any XJ - and I was always on the fence whether I liked them or not - they're not great.
You are right - the trunk lid is a little boring, and could use a little something.
Yours certainly looks different - but I'm on the fence about yours too. I like it, and at the same time, I don't. Not a "sleeper" anymore with that wing on there.
I like your red center caps on the wheels. I have green ones that are looking a bit tired.
Only one suggestion - get some dark smoke vinyl and wrap those side marker lights - looks cleaner and makes the R badge pop.
