Default New F Type Owner Here!

I'm in the process of buying this badass Jag. Should have it in about 10 days, can't wait to drop the top and give her some LOVE!

Not to nitpik but the front bumper looks like it is not sitting quite right ...it seems to be hanging down a bit based on the lines where it meets up with the fender. Here is a pic of how it should look:

Interesting. The car is a 2014 only has 1500 miles on it and was previously driven by the Jag dealer's wife. It's a CPO car and I've been told several times by the sales manager there has been ZERO body/paint work done to the car. Could it just be the camera angle? I'll post more pics in a minute. I appreciate the help!

It definitely could be the angle of the pic or a shadow.

Thanks, I was concerned after you thought it was hanging incorrectly. Whew!

Welcome.

I agree with that fit. Look at the rear bumper joint, almost not there, but the front is all "gappy" to me

It costs zero to put that sales guy on heat, and get it sorted. It is possibly only a bracket adjustment, but it just looks all wrong to my very OLD eyes.

Considering it's a CPO car with only 1500 miles on it, I'm assuming the sales manager is telling me the truth when he told me the car has had ZERO paint/body/repair work... What reasons would the dealer have had to remove the front bumper? Updates?

Had the dealer look at the front end. You guys were correct! One side of the hood wasn't latched correctly, so it wasn't all the way closed on any of the above pics. He closed it correctly and sent me a bunch of pics, looks much better now.

Good eye guys!
