Hey fellas, I picked up my Ultimate Black Metallic F-pace last night and can't wait to get started personalizing it. I thought it would be advantageous to put all of this into one thread rather than a new thread each time I made a modification.

These are the changes I plan to make, and the order I plan to make them.

1. Debadge rear (remove 35t AWD, remove F-Pace, and maybe remove the JAGUAR text )
2. Ceramic coating on all exterior painted surfaces
3. Add 35% tint to front windows (this should be done mid-week)
4. Install Mina Gallery All Black Main Grille + Mina Gallery Black Fender Louvers (these should be delivered this week and I hope to install next weekend)
5. Wrap exterior chrome window trim (in gloss black vinyl)
6. Velocity AP tune
7. H&R or Arden lowering springs
8. Varro VD08 Matte Silver 22x9 wheels (to be ceramic coated upon installation)
9. Paint Calipers
10. Exhaust (Velocity AP dual or Arden quad)
11. UK spec LED headlights (to replace my US spec LED headlights with amber reflector)

Stay tuned

 

Debadge the rear end today. I have done this to all of my previous cars and it is always a PITA.

However, this time I used a 3M Adhesive Eraser Wheel. Maaaaaan, that thing is excellent. Makes removing adhesives a breeze!

Forgot to take a picture before removing the "35t" badge:

 

Purchased the QuickSilver exhaust today!

 

debadge is always my go to when getting a new car. hate badges.

 

Hi, great upgrades you did, was it expensive to wrap the chrome window trim? And did you have to make adjustments to install 22' tires! My dealer claims I cannot put more than 20' on my 2017 F Pace model?
