Looks great, many congrats! Just out of interest, how come you've got grey callipers, thought the S came with Red sports brakes as standard?

I paid extra to have black callipers instead of the standard red as it clashed badly with Firesand.
I did not know they did a grey version at the time.

That is very, very pretty Sean.

The design pack adding the front lower valence winglets and sill extensions 'do it' for me!

I also like the enlarged rear number plate with chamfered lower edges - Is this the normal fit from your dealer?

Is it just me that thinks these cars would bennifit from soft closure doors as an option?
Mine shuts ok but you do have to slam it a bit
Is the convertible doors easy to shut?

Sorry Tel, For the late reply,

Yes it came with these number plates from Stratstones Jaguar

I have a private reg to go on soon and I will be asking this dealer to make the plates up for me

Thanks for the reply.

Nope, the convertible doors are a bit hoot and miss. It all depends on whether the hood is up or down. There is quite a bit of pressure to overcome when the hood is up, even thought the windows wind down …›'' to allow the air to rush out.
Stow the hood, and the doors shut with ease, you just have to remember not to apply so much gutso as you do when the hood is up, otherwise it slams.

The shutting mechanism, definitely doesn't scream quality IMO.
