If you haven't resolved a source, I found my local dealer (Rusnak) matches pretty much any on-line price for a new one and since we all seem to crunch these, they usually have them in stock.
Obviously diagonally across country but you might check.
My vibration noises at high speed went down and they do protect the next, more expensive parts that are underneath them.
I didn't shop as good as you guys so I paid around 300.00 US.
Install was less than 10 minutes.
All the Best!

Hey all!
Mine was in pieces ( with some areas completely rubbed off) but still attached to the car. I was able to get some fiberglass cloth with resin from Home Depot, rebuilt it to the approximate shape needed, filed it down and drilled the holes needed. A can of flat black spray paint and $25 later and I'm good to go. Looks brand new...almost.

These are the guys I purchased mine from last year. They are in Ohio. See the part number and cost of the undertray and rivets.

I am sort of late getting in on this thread - sorry.
I tore mine off a couple of days ago - hit one of those concrete bars placed in parking lots - had a bolt and nut protruding from it to hold it in place. Ugly suckers.
In any case a friend of mine said that back in the day when he was racing, his team would build these things by using many, many layers of duct tape to build one - they would attach it to the car and do a couple of laps to shape it - then they would spray paint, add some advertising, mount it, and then hit the track
In any case, I need one and I am not very handy. Are new ones (with hardware) available at this time?
Thx

I think they might still be available through the dealer.
The fasteners are sold separately.
Replacement of mine was less than 10 minutes with factory part (about $300 out the door, new from dealer).
looks like a link above might get down to $212. I think I spent about $40 of the $300 on fasteners.
You have about a $50 spread on price. In other words, if you find one in that range, buy it. Just don't buy the last one in case I screw up again.
Kind Regards,
Steven

I now have the new bottom pan and winglets. I forgot to get fasteners. Mine got lost when the damaged components were removed
Can someone send me the specs for these? Length, diameter, quantities, etc - maybe I can get them locally. I bought from a Jag dealer the fasteners to hold the floor mats in place and they were very expensive so the ones I need may cost me a bundle - pictures might help also
Got our XK8 out of winter hibernation today and it started instantaneously after a 5 month sleep - a trickle charger on the battery may have helped![Icon Steer](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_steer.gif)
