Hi folks,

Finally decided to purchase an F-Type in summer this year after having my eye on them for a long time now.

One came up for sale in Cullercoats that I couldn't resist taking a look at, naturally an innocent 'let's go see' turned into a deposit there and then. I haven't looked back since.

Bought with a vinyl wrap already done from the previous owner, original colour was grey (and still is beneath.)

Welcome! Looks cracking! Very similar to Giola green that so many recent F-Types are specced in.

Wow.
I really do like the stand-out colour.
As the Major says, similar to Giola Green; as green’s go - that has to be one of my favourites.

If you don’t mind me asking, how have the wrappers handled the door, bonnet, and boot lid shuts? It certainly looks a too job.

To be honest, if I wasn't told it was wrapped I would be none the wiser!

You can't see any of the finishes around the bonnet, doors or boot, even the fuel filler is so flush you'd of thought they removed all the pannels to wrap them!

I'll post some photos when I'm back home next week, pending the outcome of the ongoing mechanical issue!

Look forward to the photos…. 👍
And, the lichen growing on the tunnel brickwork is the perfect foil to set the whole combo off. Who needs photoshop, I ask!
Would you know who did the wrap job?

Enhance NE, I spoke to them afew times about how's best to care for the wrap as I went through a paranoid stage of cleaning it every day through fear of any dirt causing a scratch that may cause a peel etc. Turns out the vinyl is actually quite hard wearing and it's even better with a ceramic coating, which is probably on the list for the new year pending the outcome of the mechanical niggle - viewtopic.php?f=27&t=7765

I asked them out of curisoity what the wrap would cost I ever needed to replace or even wanted to change the colour, they said ball park 2.5-3k for a full body.

Here's the photo that caught my eye!
