Picked up Friday, spent several hours detailing it yesterday (I don't let dealers touch any of my new cars!) and then several hours driving it! Big smile

I'll get more scenic photos up once I've done a few more drives but here are a few "after" shots from the detailing.

Absolutely loving it!!! Favourite moment so far was making a small child scream when we went through a tunnel, making the exhaust pop, crackle and bang like a machine gun!! LOL




It was still a bit dark and hadn't yet done the interior, hence the rubbish photo! Will get a better interior shot later . . . but here are the gorgeous performance seats with the leather and suede cloth plus cirrus stitching:

Car looking great dezzy , love them seats i wanted them but at 3.5k it was just over my budget when building the car. You just got to run her in now and then head back to that tunnel

Looks fab, great work, such a shame they don't arrive like this from the dealers these days ...

Thanks guys. What a fun weekend! That's 280 miles of the running in done! Just a few more miles to go! Loved every minute in the car and I can't see that ever changing!

I think you definitely need chrome with black. We thought about going with that but the car we sold was black and we also have a black TT. Looks beautiful.

Managed to get a couple of scenic shots in the hills overlooking Glasgow and Paisley . . .



Thanks for the comments on the black with chrome. We've had white cars with black trim (which I love on the F-type) but when we decided on black for the F-Type it had to be chrome. Just think it looks really classy and does enhance the lines around the windows and the "mouth" at the front.

Loving the reaction of our friends and family after driving around to show it off to them over the weekend! One friend just wouldn't believe it was ours! That's 343 miles done . . . definitely getting there! Hoping to get the initial 1200 done in about a month so we can then hit over 4.5k RPM occasionally! Then might calm down the mileage a bit and take a bit longer to get to the final 2000 mile point to complete the run-in.

I also think that the darker colours need the chrome as a contrast to highlight the trim detailing...especially on the coupe's.

Looking super dezzy Thumbs Up
