Hello, new to the forum and Jaguar. I picked up my F-Type V8 S, Firesand Orange and Black roadster two weeks ago. I LOVE driving this thing and looking forward to spending lots of time in it.
No problems with the car so far, but having the clear bra replaced this week. I don't know how they could have messed the install up so bad.

Welcome Wayne and wish you happy motoring in a gorgeous Firesand Orange V8 S. Impressive machinery, to say the least.

Do you mind sharing which dealership you got the car from? Who messed up the bra install? I have made multiple purchases from both the SF British Motors and from San Jose British Motors. Found both to be good people to deal with.

Welcome to the forum Wayne,

Congratulations on the F-Type. I hope the clear bra install works out OK at the second attempt.

Thank You Graham and Albert,
I bought the car at Livermore Jaguar. Very convenient since I work in Livermore. The dealership has been great to work with, although I have actually had very little interaction with them, time will tell. The clear bra was put on by KarToonz in Pleasanton. From their web site they work on a lot of high end cars. So I don't know how they could let something that bad go out the door. The dealer says they will make it right one way or the other, so I hope the second install goes good, I would rather have no clear bra as opposed to what's on there now.

Thanks for the info. Interestingly, while I spend a lot of time in San Ramon where my infrequent contract jobs are, I've never been to the nearby Livermore dealership. Glad to hear good things about them. I'm confident that they will make your car right. As a whole I had very good experiences with Jaguar dealerships, except perhaps one. But, even that may have been a fluke and I find no reason to bring their name into this post.

NorCal branch had a drive today you could have brought your F (I left mine and drove my XKR instead). Nice romp but not a single new car. We met up in Mill Valley.

 

Hi Rob,
Do you guys have regular Jag get togethers?
I'm new to the forum and Jags, so still sorting everything out. Actually I never intended to buy a Jaguar but after the dealer gave me the keys for a drive, I had to buy it. I did some reading about the car after watching the speed channel show on the F-Type and kind of spec'ed out what I would wanted in my head. The dealer had just unloaded this car from the truck and it had everything I wanted. They prepped the car and let me drive it and that was it. Now I'm the proud owner of an F-Type Jaguar.
Thanks, Wayne
