dislike... but odd they did this to a new car on the lot(?)

Black and Firesand Coupe

 

Looks terrible. They desecrated a work of art.

 

There is a white one with a black stripe like that, with nicer rims, that looks great IMO.

To each his own I think... lots of purists on here.

 

I'd guess it's just vinyl

 

I'm with stealth on this one. Yuk!!!

 

Me too--just a wrap and easily removable.

 

Not a fan. As you guys may have seen I've been trying to do some kind of stripe myself to give it a different look. But it feels like stripes on the F-Type is hard to get right whereas some cars feel right with stripes. This was take 1, checkered flag twin stripes. Barely visible, more subtle. Today I decided to try an all white thicker stripe.

 

Like putting a bumper sticker on a P1.

 

There are certain lines on the F-type that you just can't mess with. The not complete blackout of the hood ruins every line traveling from the rear haunches forward to the lights.

 

I couldn't agree more. That black bonnet and roof destroys the natural lines of the car.

It's an ABOMINATION! Burn the witch!!!

 

I don't like that, but I think an all matte black f-type would be awesome.

 

On a side note. I don't think you could have parked any closer to that concrete post than you did. Oh,.... the stripe has to go. Cecil......

 

As others have said it is just a vinyl wrap so easily reversible, but I agree it ruins the lines.

 

Damn... So many haters! Let the dude have some fun! You go Shift!

 

door dings! I worry more about door dings than pretty much anything else.

 

 

Agree. I'm certain it's not the case, but it looks like they added some junk yard parts and were too cheap to paint them.

 

Shift,
Your car is wider than most full size sedans. It is not a compact. If you value your coachwork...

 

I would only add, every line. In my opinion, this F-Type is one of the most gorgeous cars - "out-of-the-box" - I've ever had the pleasure to see, never mind own and drive.

 

I'm guessing many on this forum agree with you. In the past quarter century, there have not been any auto designs adequate to cause me to desire a new car until Ian designed the Vanquish that was well beyond my (spousally limited) budget. What he did extremely well with the Vanquish, he did perfectly with the F-Type. Adding the 6sp. made it a no-brainer for me (which is fortunate given my grey matter reserves).
