XKR-S rear diffuser fit the XKR?
Anyone know if the XKR-S carbon fibre lower rear diffuser would be a straight fit on the XKR instead of the plain centre plastic moulding? Or is the bumper different? I guess it won't but would be nice!
I've looked at the Adamesh one but doesn't look quite right to me.
Mine is a 2008, but if it would fit in theory, from what years?
Anyone just fitted the diffuser without fitting the whole RS kit?

Here's the rear XKR-S diffuser kit from Steve at Cotswold Jaguar, I've just finished fitting it.
It's the fibre glass mold kit. I took my time over fettling, spraying and fitting it, but I'm really pleased with the outcome, as my lad said... "It looks factory". Took me a few hours over a few weeks to get it so I was happy with it, no doubt I could do it a lot quicker , but I was being particularly careful to get it right first time and figuring out the best way to screw and affix the molded shapes to the standard car as cleanly and strongly as I could. Managed to get the fit to only require 3M VHB tape, no resin or bonding requried.
Also fitted a set of H&R spacers (20mm front, 15mm rear) to make the most of the new rear end. Equally pleased with them as well.

The short piece between the tail pipes is universal, and the bumper covers are made for both 2 or 4 pipes, as they have the proper mounting holes for either. The larger, full diffuser looking things are a complete bumper cover, as the stock diffuser is only like four inches tall.

Yeah, it's just hard to tell if the big diffuser would fit on top of the XKR bumper to follow its lines and over the exhausts? If it would, I'm sure someone would have done it on here. A scrapper has one off a 2012 XKR-S but they can't say.
I'm sure the whole bumper will be different though?

It looks like if I fit the diffuser, I will need to also get/add the small side trim bits to level through to the diffuser end.
Anyone know what these are called/cost/where to get them?
The red bumper below is XKR-S and the black is my standard XKR (not sure what years these are from though and if that makes a difference?)

Would a 2012 car be these bumpers?
Just a risk buying it unless more confident!

Just out of curiosity how much are you able to get the scrapped diffuser for? There's currently one on ebay here, but it's in rough shape and would need to be painted.

Check under your current difusser, the body has a panel that drops down there blocking the exhaust from going through there. You may also have problems with the rear tie down / dragging bracket.
