Hello everyone.
So I bit and bought a 17 Plate yesterday, awaiting delivery Monday (oh the pain)
What I'm asking here is, if you had the chance over of when you purchased you baby, what is the first thing you'd do to the car? Unfortunately I don't have a garage, so I was thinking of buying some sort of cover, washing it and applying the best wax money can buy ( I love Meguiars TXT Tech wax 2.0) etc etc..
Also part add-ons, replacement parts etc
Saw this and thought wtf!? Apparently fits a Jaguar F-Type. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/500W-2000W-B ... SwxUtbDkwn

The item on ebay is already fitted to the F-Type dear man. It's called the loud button & can be found secreted in the centre consul. Job done & money saved. As others say drive it. You will eventually forget where the on off button for the radio is. Enjoy.

It's actually called the active exhaust button, and makes the exhaust quieter if you switch it in dynamic mode. ;)
Can't see the point of it really - dynamic gives you all the noise, and non--dynamic gives you the "civilised" version of the car (up to 2,500 rpm).

Yeah Yeah Drive It...Even drive the Granny out of it.
Already I am looking at changing the interior to black with red stitching via Seat Surgeons up in York. Has anybody had dealings with them? Their work looks incredible via the website.
