Default Got my F-Type Wrapped

Getting a wrap was on my mind since before I even chose the F-Type.. simple fact of buying used is you can't be picky about color. But you can pay for it, lol.

Ended up with Inozetek Miami Blue, with a chrome delete. I know it's bright and that's not for everyone, but I honestly love it! Looks even better in person IMO.





Might black out the exhaust pipes. And yes I know the R came off, LOL, already have a new badge on the way.

Wow man that looks amazing!!!! holy crap, I've never seen that color on a F-type. I see you have 2/3rds of the design pack, where are the front splitters? Do you have an IG?

Thank you! I was initially hesitant about the brightness of the color, but I'm glad how it turned out. The finish is also amazing, looks 90% like paint.

The bumper was definitely replaced in the past. I'm not sure if that's a separate part I could source or all one assembly, but I should look into it..

I have a personal IG but not for my car

Yep you can order the front splitter parts online, they aren't very expensive but make a whole lot of difference, but you should def make a car IG, fun to keep up with the other F-types

Beautiful choice on the color. And the black accents really set if off properly.

Thank you YRS. And, our minds think alike StormTrooper, Porsche colors really are striking.

I was looking for the front-side splitters and it got me thinking, might as well get a Maxton Design front lip for the same price.. although not sure if I'm in love with it but I saw in some F-Type 400 pics that it comes with a similar full front splitter.

Hadn't seen the Maxton splitter before. A nice looking piece. Not sure if it's really better from design perspective compared to stock, but it does give the car some individuality.

He has a beautiful car. The sideskirts really set off the splitter well. Not so sure about the fit with design pack side skirts though. I'll probably end up with OEM side front splitters.. might need to get them wrapped up though to match!

It's a 9/10 job I would say. Theres some blemishes up close but overall it was a job very well done I would say. I saw a 918 Spyder and a new C8 at the shop when I visited so I was sure these guys were quality.

Just my opinion, but I think the roof (where the antenna is) would look better if it was left black. It would help the flow of the design.

I've never seen a wrapped car in person. Is the old color of the car still visible when you open the doors?

Thought I was the only one to like different colours. Love the blue. Had a go at doing mine myself, thought nothing to loose as you just peel it off. Flat bits are easy, corners are not and a whole car - thats for the professionals.

Ultra Blue Metallic is pretty different from Miami Blue.

that depends on the thoroughness of the installer, and the thickness of your wallet

Top tier shops will wrap door sills, remove pieces of trim, etc to completely change a cars color. You'll typically pay a significant premium.

Yeah I reckon if I was looking to buy a car then wrap, I'd start with a black car so you could get away without the extra. That's a lovely colour for this one.
