XKR-S rear diffuser fit the XKR?
#21
Lookie here...
It's 85` in the garage and I'm working on replacing the rear wheel bearings (for some dumb reason), sweating like mad so here's some pics taken during my break.
This is how mine looks on the outside. The polished aluminum lip is just a length of 1" x 1/8" aluminum angle that I installed because my diffuser sagged in the middle. Above the middle pipe you can see the corner of the bodywork where it drops down between the exhaust tips.
Opposite side. Between the 2nd and 3rd bolts you can see the OEM tab for holding the plastic diffuser to the bodywork. Forward of that is the tow strap bracket.
This guy... I assume it's there as an industry standard for towing and wreck recovery. Again, it's close to being in the way of center exhaust tips. I need to shorten my Helmholtz resonators to clear it.
Make sense now?

Ha ha prob right there! I could go on and on like most of us but couple of subtle things first. Hopefully getting the single resonator exhaust mid pipe mid done at the W/e so can report on that.
I will price up the genuine side spats just out of interest.

Yes, the rear bumpers are the same across all years and yes it can easily be done, in fact I am doing it now as in the 3 pieces will be here tomorrow from the U.K.
I am also doing the carbon fiber R-S GT plinth with LED plate lamps at the same time.
The 2 valances need to be painted and the mid section is carbon fibre.
I went with Jaguar parts but alternatively Mina Gallery has a replica FRP kit for about 1/5th the price.

Worth me looking into replicas if you say they make them and if they sell separately to the kit?
Interesting to see some pics when you are done!

Thats good to know Jahummer, I wonder what the carbon fibre will look like without the two side valances/spats as it looks to stick out a bit? I priced these original parts up and a rediculous £500 each?? They said limited supply! Lol.

You mentioned Germany? Any where else I might be able to get some at a more reasonable price or something aftermarket?
