That gray is absolutely hideous. Try Saran Wrap.

At one point, someone posted pictures of a wrap with a side graphic of a leaper. I believe the design was based on a Jaguar factory show piece.
Can't find them now.

Thinking this copper metallic could look exciting and set off the f type lines. I understand how your day job may attract more attention with one of these wraps. Mine is Polaris White and already gets too much attention. Imagine if I pulled up in a Copper Mettallic car.

true, but if it keeps your interest in the car for a few more years then you will save heaps as the depreciation curve lessens. I figure when the cars are new I lose about $30K a year in years one and 2 (on a $180K car) then maybe $20K in year 3 and a little less after that. So I have spent about $7K on stuff I've done to my car this last year, but it has refreshed my interest so I figure I'll have the car for another 3 years easy. So it is saving me a bucketload. That should appeal to your Dutch sensibilities!

I have spend less on my car then you on 3 years depreciation.. ...and I can sell it now at the price I bought it last year since taxes went up with € 7400 and JLR raise the price, resulting in € 15.000 increase...
Given the fact no one has a 2018 model like mine for sale, I can safely assume I have zero depreciation.. So not only my zero-100 is less, but also my 100-zero...

How about this for an idea...it's not a wrap, but some Grigio something. In my books it's Battleship Grey!

@Tel
Wow this Aston above really look amazing..beside the yellow accent lol
I came accross this 2019 below and I think I will go for that same look, keeping the entire upper portion of the car Black and the rest Nardo Grey. Thoughts?

Yasssssssss! I did something similar to that with black wrap on my red car after becoming besotted with the new dbs superleggera in red - looks awesome (to me) and I get a lot of positive feedback. If you want to see it, it is on page 97 of the picture post thread.

Was it you that also posted a bunch of pictures, experimenting on where to end the black tape?

DanNL had quite a lot of input as well, but yes I did too because I essentially tried a few different ways, a short, medium, and long before settling on the long and having it done properly. That thread was "F Type on 'roids" I think. While the coupe in its production form is beautiful, the black roof flattens it out and makes it look agro
