Picked up my 17 F-Type R about a month ago here in Miami. 500-ish miles later (daily driver, rain or shine) and I still love it. I'm just constantly amazed at how much more pleasant my commute is - even sitting in typical Miami Beach traffic.

The obligatory pictures - sorry they're terrible, I've been too busy driving to take photos.

 

Welcome!!!

 

Welcome and congratulations. Looks like the car is black? Which black? Interior black too?

 

Fantastic. I joined the family too, a week ago...

 

Congrats!

 

So I'm assuming it's ultimate black (black metallic), but I actually wasn't too worried about the exact color and don't have the sales sheet in front of me. The interior is black with the red contrast stitching. It's a great-looking car, although it shows dirt like nobody's business. Ice been having it washed weekly on Fridays, and by next Wednesday it looks filthy again. I might give one of the ceramic coatings a try to see if it helps any. Miami is awful with dust and pollen, so that's going to be a constant struggle.

 

My last jag was ebony black, nothing like it when clean and polished. I went with white this time. Still wash it every week. I do have protective film and the cquartz.

 

gorgeous! Congrats!

 

I would wash it every week, but I live in an apartment building with no hoses in the garage, and just feel silly paying for a wash every week. It's still a beautiful car, though. I'm considering wrapping the entire car in a clear matte protective bra cover. That or doing the ceramic coat.

 

I'd definitely do the full hood, mirrors, and side skirts at minimum with film. I had one stone chip and ran to get it done. The synthetic coating helps keep the car cleaner too. The ceramic doesn't stop chips.

 

Congrats - I got mine this past Sunday and driving it everyday. I love my commute.

 

Congrats. Great looking ride.
