I would like to fit a small boot spoiler to the S-Type, does anyone have an after market one fitted and pictures please.  Would like something similar to the Type R one.

 

Thanks

 

Interested in something like this one:-

Why?   The purpose of a rear spoiler is to provide added downforce at high speed.  I doubt you would ever be going fast enough on the road for a small lip to generate enough force to make any noticeable difference.  Unless of course you plan to use the car for track racing in which case suspension updates will have a much bigger effect than a small boot lid lip.  Or are doing it just for looks?  In which case I'd say forget it.  The S-Type is perfect the way it is.

Why Not?

 

If it's perfect why do some have spoilers fitted as standard?

 

I already have a track car which does the job much better than the S-type can and would.

 

Yes it's more for looks than anything else, but i asked for pictures of them fitted not opinions thank you.

Exactly I agree that's why I asked for pictures of spoilers fitted so I could make my own mind up, on whether it would or would not make the car more pleasing to my eye.  I personally don't like after market stickers on cars a personal choice but other people like them, however I wouldn't offer an opinion on them unless asked. 

I've never thought of that before John. It would be good to see what it looks like :)

 

As Robin says, aerodynamically, it won't have any effect, regardless of the suggestion about increased stability in the link you provide but I can't really imagine what it might look like from a styling point of view and would like to see the effect.

I do like the look of the S-Type in standard form don't get me wrong I personally think a small spoiler would split the back of the car up.  I know it will make no difference to the handling of the car, but I would like one from a look point of view.

Sorted going to buy the R Type one.  I intend on keeping the Jaguar for a long time, well until I can afford a STR.  So I just want to make it more personal to me without going to far from the OE look.

I hope i understand what your looking for, so here is a couple photos of mine
