I don’t really consider myself a petrol head, I’ve had a VW Scirocco for quite few years and I have always loved the shape of the F type. So with a big birthday coming up, I took the plunge. Absolutely loving it, 700 miles in 10 days and my commute is just 15 miles a day! It will be an every day runner.

Getting used to a new you and slowly becoming a “petrol head!”

I forgot to ask the dealer, can anyone tell me the name of the alloy please?

Looks lovely!

That first picture looks like the bonnet fit is almost rubbing on the bumper, Hopefully it's just the angle of the photo!

Yep, 19" Orbit.
Option on MY16, exactly the same as on my S.
A real bitch to keep clean as the gloss black really shows up any brake dust, which on F Types seems to gather even after a short calm run.
Cleaning needs to be done very carefully as the gloss black shows all fine cleaning scratches off nicely.
However when cleaned and polished they look great, particularly on a white car.
I would ask the dealer to look at the bonnet adjustment as it does look out by a long way.

Thanks for all the responses, and the wheel tips.

The dealer will be looking at the bonnet, they did say that it’s a common problem with the alignment.

They did seem to “fob me off” a little with this but I will be certain to follow it up. About 900 miles in 2 weeks 🥰

Best.

Unfortunately a common problem but one which they should rectify!
Good luck and enjoy.
