Default Moving from a '16 R coupe to an '18 R convertible

Time for a change. The convertible was my first love. After driving a V8S in '14, I called it a "must have." I ended up getting a coupe because it is more practical, but after driving a convertible again I was reminded that it was a more sensory experience. Summer's here, so it's time for a 'vert.

Ahh I've been seeing that car forever! I remember seeing it online and noticed the drop and aftermarket wheels that the Jag dealership put on, I think it had a few hundred or thousand miles on it right? I remember it looked like a great deal and awesome spec.

Convertible certainly has an appeal in the summer months, especially since no sunroof option on the coupe. Wondering of those hood and bumper openings on the 2018's look better in person?

Yeah it was driven by the owner but never sold. I think the drop scared a lot of people off.

It's a personal preference, but I think they look better. It's a little closer to the SVR look with the aggressive air intake openings, but without the fixed rear spoiler out back, which I don't care for. Hood vents are the same as my 2016. I'm having the hood and side vents and bumper chrome swapped out to the gloss black ones, as I did on my 16.

Front openings look better from that angle, and I do like those wheels - it's a sexy beast!
