Jaguar XK8 Spoiler

[DougX]

Hi, As anyone knowledge of how the boot spoiler is affixed to the rear boot on an XK8?
Is it stuck on or screwed?
I have the standard smaller spoiler but want to get hold of a XKR spoiler which is slightly bigger.

From memory, it's stuck in position but not trusting my poor memory I went into the Topix system to double check. Weirdly, the spoiler/rear wing doesn't appear when I searched for it so I still can't be 100% sure - sorry! Mike.

Thanks Mike. I was going to ask you at Thoresby but after seeing you as I arrived, I failed to find you afterwards. I checked the beer van regularly but still didn't see you!!!! lol.

I had to stay sober in case anyone asked a difficult question! Mike.

Managed to identify the spoiler and the Jaguar Part Number. Found one on a breakers website in Cheshire. Should be with me on Tuesday. For those that are interested, here are the two typs of spoilers and their respective part numbers.

Hi Doug,
I have kept digging and there are actually four spoilers listed by Jaguar! HJB6160AA (to VIN 024686) HJB6160AB (from 024687 to VIN A40264); C2N2897 (from A40265 to A42111); and C2N3406 (A42112 onwards). Don't ask about the differences. They may be as subtle as changes in the glue! Mike.
