Is the diffuser wrapped or painted red? Odd that I like it since I am the '240z' guy.

The red diffuser and red R just look great.

Even with a white/black car it just adds that extra custom appeal.

If I had a white car with a white stock-painted diffuser I would do this the same. With a black diffuser probably not. The only things I don't like on a white F-type are the 2016+ running boards (lol, I know) and white diffuser.

At a minimum I'd have the diffuser painted black.

Great to see a guy thinking outside the box.

I just love the satin pearl and if I was going to do a full wrap, that would be the color I went with. I fist saw this color at a Jag dealership a few years ago when Colin Kaepernick drove in to San Jose Jaguar with his freshly wrapped XJ in flat pearl a few years ago. It was about 6pm so the sun was at its orangish and when he parked, a group of 10 of us just stood there and stared at all the shades and colors beaming off his car at that time of the day. It looked like crushed pearls with the pinks and the blue undertones. Just awesome.

I'm not feeling the red touches personally as I think it takes away from the statement you made with the pearl but it is subtle enough. Let the wrap speak for itself. I would also wrap the side vents in pearl, leaving only the inner mesh black. That would let the body flow without interuption as I've always thought the side vents should coordinate with the body color. Powdercoat the wheels black and you're basically done my man! By the way I see the "R" logo in red....nice!

I personally welcome you as you're my type of guy!
I agree but I wanted to look different and everybody has their own taste but thanks!

Oh, and welcome!
thanks so much! I tried to make it different from other f type

You need to tint the windows.

Love the individuality.

Welcome.

Hope you're enjoying your F Type R, great car, but like many owners on here I am rather biased.

The car is fantastic! But I worry about the paint and swirls hence wanting to wrap the whole car and protect her, white satin pearl sounds nice for the summer just want to get the best shade.Loving this wrap looks really bright.

I like the wrap and the black chrome leaper & Jaguar emblems on the tail.
