Mina's XKR-S diffuser
Chris at Mina said there is a one and three piece diffuser molding he has based off xkrs. Detailed pics are scarce online but he suggested the one piece. Anyone have good pics of either? Anyone installed either? Any feedback would be great because I really want to do something in the back. I've looked into prince performance but to get it here from the UK, and the exchange rate the way it is, too much for my pockets.

Assuming it's a 1:1 OEM diffuser one part is a Speedpack variant and 3 pieces has a XKRS rear bumper (with carbon in a middle section).
They are very similar in an overall idea of a diffuser. Bear in mind that in OEM they have also different front splitters and side sills (vs XKR without a rear diffuser) - matching a style and a shape of a rear diffuser.
For pictures I suggest googling- plenty of them online.

Ahh...got it. I thought they were two different versions from the xkrs. Aero pack replica seems more appealing because technically the part is still in the family. I guess its gonna come down to if it looks fluid using the Mina side splitters I have. I forgot which member but I've already seen the 3 piece diffuser with Mina splitters on his silver car and it looked really sharp.

I have the Mina 3 piece front splitter as well as the Mina side skirt extensions (like those of the XKR175 or the speed pack). For the rear, I have F/X DESIGNS' rear bumper with the built in diffuser. I'm the silver XKR to which I think you're referring. I don't have pictures on my phone but can post when I get home.

Thanks Cee Jay,
Below are pictures of the front splitter and side skirts. The front splitter is 3 piece like OEM, however, in this picture, which was the first one I bought from Mina, we bondoed it together and made it look like one piece. I actually prefer the look, however, there is so much flex everytime you go in or out of a driveway, tiny hairline cracks would show up. So, when I put a new one on a few months ago, I left it in 3 pieces so that the overlapping gap between the pieces absorbs the flex.
Closeup of the side skirt
On the rear bumper/diffuser, I have seen the diffuser painted in contrast black or charcoal or even made to look like carbon fibre. I chose to keep it painted the same body color but the diffuser contrast looks great as well.

I bought Mina's XKR-S carbon fiber rear diffuser. I have yet to have it Installed, It is NOT a DIY job. The major difference is it does NOT have the tangs that insert into the bumper. There is a industrial strength adhesive but will be a permanent job. I'll post pics when I have it installed and painted.

They are both two different versions from the XKRS because there are technically two versions of the XKRS. There's the one everyone is familiar with from 2013+ after the last face-lift, but there was a limited run on the 2007-8 body style which was essentially the Speed Pack before the kit was called the Speed Pack, and Jaguar dubbed it the XKRS. That's why it was labeled that way.

Which seems irrelevant to why Mina Gallery calls the kit the XKRS body kit. They should probably rename it the Speed Pack to avoid confusion, but this kit has been produced since that 08 set, so it's probably legacy.
