Re: F-Type attempted theft

re. wheel locks, I've got the Stoplock Pro. I used to have one of the full wheel face covers but found them quite cumbersome. The one I have now takes a couple of seconds to remove and stick in the passenger footwell before setting off. Yes, the full-face ones do provide additional security, but it...

Re: F-Type headroom

I would also consider the seat choice as well since there may well be a couple of CM in going for performance over the standard... I'm 6'3" with a panoramic roof and performance seats, I'd imagine you'd be ok without the pano as I've driven with the blind closed with no issues. The reason I'd a...
