Different look...

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).
The Vanquish was my "now I can die happy" car until I laid eyes on the F Type.
When I heard it start up, it was all over ... "just take my money"!

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.

I just have never been a fan of matte wraps or paint jobs, especially in black. It always looks like an unpainted car to me. Like a car that's been in an accident and they could only afford to put the primer on after salvaging some body parts from the junkyard. Also heard they are a pain to keep clean but that might only be for the more satin finishes. Not sure.

That looks better but lighting definitely affects it. The top picture looks good, the bottom picture is back to that 'unfinished' look.
I do like that Audi usually has a more satin look to their matte finishes. I saw a nice daytona grey matte R8 the last time I was in the dealership.
