Default Stratus Grey Coupe in house

A couple of months ago I was looking at the F Type R Coupe at my dealer. He called me a couple of days later and said, "if you were going to buy a Coupe how would you want it". He had one that he was allotted on order and it was the last day he could make changes.

I gave him the following specs:
Stratus Grey F Type R Coupe
Panoramic Roof (with the stratus grey it doesn't stick out)
Vision Pack
Black Pack
Diamond Turned Gyrodyne Wheels
Red Duo Seats

Well, he called me Saturday and said it was in. I went down and looked at it and Monday I went down and traded in my 2008 XKR Coupe. I am attaching pics.

I want to thank PD2911 for doing the leg work so I could get the $2500 JCNA discount.

Gorgeous car!!! Weird question.... Where did you get that license plate holder? At the dealership? I've been looking for one that fits but doesn't have the dealership name on it. The carbon fiber one I ordered had to go back because it's too thick. Screws weren't long enough to reach from the holes to car.

Thanks! Enjoy the R! You'll LOVE it.

Very nice! This is exactly how I would've configured mine if I had the patience to wait for a custom order to be delivered.

There is a Wheel Lock/LP Frame Package that comes from the factory for $138 which the dealer stuck on there. You can probably order the package or maybe just the frame holder from your parts department.

Kind of funny--the only concession I got on price was one of these license plate holders thrown in on the deal.

I didn't realize this was an option. Told the sales guy to throw it away (didn't like plate frames). He was like, "are you sure? this is like $100!"

I just realized my car has this option. The dealer put their dealer advertising frame on & left the nice one in the trunk.

Congrats on the beautiful cat/car.... I wish I knew about the JCNA deal when I got mine--- I did get mine for 500 over invoice because a long time friend runs the store but 2500 is.... 2500 more off

Beautiful color combo. Love the sound it makes! Really turns heads when farting and snorting.
Congratulations!

very nice.... I think you could have even made the stretch and gone with the red interior pack and just make it POP like the sounds of that exhaust

Grey, silver, or black with all or partial red interior has a dramatic look. Nice.
