I wonder what you think of the modicfication I did to the center console.

Do you like it or not ; would you order anything like it, or not ? Don't hold back : say it when you think its ugly.. :lol:

I am the same age as JC , so lightyears older then the "game console" generation.. ... I don't like "50 shades of grey" in my car interior... 8-)

Not for me I'm afraid, but for heritage reasons I've voted yes should be a paid option. in car forests was always a Jag thing so at least a nod to it would be fitting on the options list :)

I have wood in my S class Mercedes, but in an F type, never :shock: . You may have lots of problems when you try to sell it :(

With the exception of the XK120 and XK140 FHCs, all the classic sporting Jaguars have been tree free on the inside. As the F Type takes it's inspiration from the E Type, I don't think wood is in keeping with this car (standard alloy trim apes 3.8's turned aluminium centre dash panel).

Sorry it has no place in a modern Jaguar

I just took out a piano black interior on my XF that’s about to be traded and replaced it with the oem oak grain wood.
Reminded me why I changed it in the first place. Looks hideous now

Not for me. It's precisely because the F-Type is more forward-looking and aggressive that I even considered buying a Jag...there are literally no other Jags I would have considered and certainly none with an old school wood look.

Although having said that, I wouldn't say no to a Eagle E-Type...!

Not for me I’m afraid and I am normally a pipe and slippers sort of guy. F type is a modern sports car and wood is just wrong. Sorry!
