Hello Everyone, I'm Mark.
I've had my F-Type for nearly 8 months. I've always fancied getting a car wrapped, plus the amount of stone chips I get commuting to work down country lanes, it all seemed to be the right thing to do. But I think I've taken it too far, see image below and let me know what you think. The laugh and sniggers I've had in just 48 hours of doing this have been astonishing (I'm actually quite shy and retiring). Question would you live with it for a bit, or take it
I'm new - Do you think I've made a mistake?

What about just losing the stripes, at least I can get some protection during the winter months, then ad some of next year.

Take it off.

Even with just the wrapping sans stripes the car's look is ruined

Yes the no parking stripes need to go. I personally do not like Grey primer colour but most of manufacturers are doing that colour now so must be popular.

Stripes are coming off, but will keep the wrap for a bit until I get ppf.

It was a brave move but just not come off. The stripe is race track oriented, but doesn't fit the rest of the car's looks, so feel it has to go
The grey unfortunately flattens out all the curves the car had and the yellow pin lines emphasise the wrong points. Look for example at the strong line from centre gill, through headlight, along to bonnet and below side windows onwards towards the rear. On the grey it's now gone
For me it overall doesn't work at all. Clearly you have similar views of the total effect.
I'd lose the stripes, keep the grey over Winter and see how you feel in Spring. Also consider losing the grey centre grille bar and go black on that
