Shift, I think the blue stripes would look great on your coupe and the black numbering in white circles but you need the correct font on the numbering.

i love the experimenting. sometimes it will work, other times, maybe not. personal taste at the end of the day.

i track my cars as well & am going to try the static cling decals...i like that look when on the track (not for the street).

i'm awaiting my R (end of jan/early feb) and can't wait to get it to the track. my current track car is a cayman, so this will be quite different. 'tail-happy', seems to be the prevailing feedback. will be fun, but take some getting used to. the cayman is like glue on the track. has been a blast, but once i drove the R, i was sold. bring on the 550 ponies...

can you send me info on the decal order? i love the heritage jaguar logo (size looks great), leapers & meatball are fun as well.

i'm in marin (norcal)

Hey, there is a Jag Performance Event in Sonoma Raceway 18/19th feb, make sure you get a free invite with your R. I am down the road from you in Tiburon. Let me know when you get your F-Type

My least favorite part of the F Type is the cross beam. I'm trying to do something like this to change the look of the cross beam short of removing it altogether and getting a custom grill made.

Since it's black and almost disappears into the mouth, why are you highlighting it, making it stand out much more? Put a license plate on it--that will hide it more. :-)

maybe a mini european styled plate, hate US proportion plates. I decided to "finish" the stripe look by putting one last white stripe piece on the rear diffuser.
