Default F-Type GT wing fitment on an XK

Couldnt find any discussion or pictures on this,

Im considering removing the XK trunk spoiler and
filling the holes and mounting a carbon fiber GT wing
Picture attached... thoughts?

Wondering if the wing will line up and flow properly..

In my mind it detracts from F-type look and will look even more out of place on XK.

Sorry but I agree with SinF. Why not use the proper R-S wing that was designed to fit the existing mounts?

or this even better..

The question is will it line up with the body lines of the XK?

I need to repaint my hatch anyway, so I might as well fill
the holes and mount a proper wing

You're very polite, I would have said it that looks bloody awful.

IM (less than H) O it looks completely 'riceboy' and totally at odds with 'grace and pace'

Why didn't you just buy an XK RS or at least an XKR?

If you like it though go for it, am sorta guessing your young, if so (and not balding and overweight) you may be able to pull it off

If you go new from Jaguar perhaps, but there are options aftermarket such as Mina Gallery, Duraflex and eBay.

I bought a Mina Speed Pack spoiler. I never could get it to fit, not even close, so I sent it back. Bought a used OE one off eBay for the same price, fit perfect.
