haha, that is true but I'm wanting a great shot rather than a happy snap. Did I mention that I had a hot lap in a P300 driven by a professional? Just awesome, they really go.

 

Probably a good driver you had the lap with. I went with my son in an SJXVR V8 limo around the Nuernburgring... That was awesome.. The guy topped 280kmh in the rain..
On the way down we did 250kmh on the Autobahn in my own car. I thought I would be terrified once driven on the track, but I was laughing all the way, all 8min38secs of it...

 

 

It's plasti dip. Not sure you can order them in that colour since they are Jaguar wheels.
i wasn't sure how it's gonna end up looking so I went for plasti dip. Once that gets a bit damaged I will be looking to have them sprayed as it's easier to clean

 

Black wheels

 

Damnnnnn. And this is why I originally wanted a black F-Type ^^^

 

Haha! Loving the wheels!

 

 

@WJV,
Its amazing that this car looks so great in every colour... ... would look better if you locked the doors before the pics..

 

I just went out to the car and tried a range of things to see if I could get the door handles in and the mirrors out at the same time while the car was stationary, and one and only one thing worked - press the door locking button on the inside of the door.
But of course this means you need someone inside the car with a key fob while you (or someone else) takes pics.
I could not find a way on my lonesome to be outside the stationary car while the mirrors were out and the door handles were in at the same time.

 

 

Nup, that is one of the things I tried in my little 'speriment detailed above.
Door handle retracts, but a second later it pops out and you get the "beep beep" warning.

 

Funny. Comparing the English to Dutch MY2016 owners manual 1 to 1, the Dutch version says the setting whether mirrors fold in can be changed by a dealer. The English version does not even mention that.
I would expect it to be a setting you can easily change yourself...

 

No mirror fold setting (ie fold or not fold when locking the car) on the UK or Oz version, the mirrors always fold when locking the car and I suspect that is the same for all RHD versions.

 

These cars look sooooo good in silver. The XF and XKR did too, really shows the curves.

 

How about opening the windows and locking the car using the door buttons. If you take a picture from the passenger side, maybe the driver's side window could be the open one as that should allow locking of both doors? Not sure.

 

 

Gotta say, I love this car in Indus Silver (yes, I'm biased b/c that's what I own) but even without the panoramic roof, the Indus colour just makes the f-type look amazing. It's as close as the car can get to what it looks like without paint -- bare aluminum.

 

So I just tried another 'speriment and it worked, following jaguny's suggestion.
Open a window (either one), shut the door, then reach in and hit the interior lock button on the door, hey presto door handles in and mirrors out.
And if you want the window up again, reach in, hit the start button, hit the interior lock button, hit the window up toggle, and remove your arm before the window glass hits it. Of course this leaves the car in "accessories on" mode but without testing I reckon it will leave the car with door handles in and mirrors out for 10 minutes or so before it plays funny buggers and the mirrors fold in and/or the door handles pop out.
