Liken it! Looks tight. This is along the lines of my comments in another thread about mods for this car. Accentuating what designer created, but making it custom. Black license plate looks better than I thought it would. I like my white side skirts when they are clean, which is not often due to weather. This could be way to go.
How much was the wrap?

Yea kinda a theme in all my cars. Can't remember the last non-white car I bought. Usually do something with color matching. Phantom not withstanding.

work in progress...
The more I look at this car, the more I am convinced that the hood louvers could look so much better, at least on a white car. The black plastic was gaudy, and after covering with a matte black carbon, it looked better but I still feel it takes away from the smooth lines of the white car. Jaguar must have felt this too because in the new F's they color matched the louvers to the car.
Well this is my new project.
Plan is to:
Paint the outside "J" curl of the louver polaris white.
Keep the inner grilling black.
Keep the inner flat portion, where it says "JAGUAR" wrapped in black carbon to tie with the rest.
This has been bugging me since I bought the car. It's probably only an issue with white cars because of the extreme contrast of the high gloss plastic louver.
Just got back from the paint store to get my supplies...
Custom polaris white spray paint
Can of clear
Some Scotchbrite in red to scuff gloss back plastic.
Masking tape and blades and away I go.
I get compulsive about making my car look perfect to me.
Stay tuned.

I wouldn't recommend them....
Slow, condescending, and i've got some peeling. They plan to fix wed. Let you know how it goes. I purposely neglected to give them a mention because I'm not totally happy with them.
