Hi recently purchased 2017 Ftype 340 in Caldera red. Really pleased with car. I bought the Car from a Ashley Nickeels near Guildford. Service was exceptional.
Only one thing to sort out is some gravel rash in font of rear wheels. Is this normal and how have others resolved.

Hello & welcome to the forum. Beautiful car
Iām slightly OCD & would have a good bodyshop paint the whole of both side sills. Then have a quality PPF applied for future protection. The OEM PPF patch is not large enough.
If you on IG check out The Bodycentre Norwich. They have recently announced a new product which is a spray on PPF. They respray the panel then apply the coating. This gives 200 microns of future armour that can be polished to perfection
Iām sure there are other options, wrapping etc.

Didnāt intended on getting a red Ftype it found me. Right car and condition. I have just come out of a Guards red Cayman. Not complaining really love the car. A real step up in the luxury department from the Cayman and love the low down torque.

A modern GTS will be comparable. Mine was a 987.2 which was starting to feel outdated even though it was in great condition and only 35,000 mls. We did a 2000mls euro tour in it and it felt fun but hard work. Plan on doing tour next year COVID permitting. FType feels like it will be more suited.
Are you going 981 or 718?

718, but the more I drive the F-Type and the addictive sound it has the more I think I will upgrade to a newer V6 or V8.
Went on holiday to Cornwall last week and only saw one F-Type and loads of Porkers, I like being a bit different!

Hi Darren. So it was you who got to Ashley Nickells before me last Monday then. Well done. Iām just a tad jealous! Hope to see it at a meet one day. Looked like my ideal upgrade from a 2014 auto. Grrrrrr. Iāll keep looking.
As for the rash, normal unfortunately. Red is easy to paint but it wonāt last. Cars are for using so Iāve decided to live with it.
