If you see one in person it is stunning.
The metallic color shifts an from some angles you would scare it is black.
I have had a number of people ask me what color is your car.
Stunning.. Sell it to me!!! LOL
Seriously this looks pretty much what I want.
Tell me more about those wheels!
Does yours have to original or the newer infotainment. What do you think of it (either one)

Those wheels are "Blade", OEM F-Type wheels optional on all F-Types except those with CCM brakes, I have them as well.
20" with real carbon fibre inserts, supposedly forged rather than cast but still quite heavy.
They don't come in any size other than 20".

Edit - forgot to add - other than the special wheels needed for CCM brakes they were (and possibly still are) the most expensive OEM wheels.

Honestly, you never really interact with the infotainment. Everything you need for radio / climate is by separate buttons. Get a phone holder for navigation, or just stick it behind the gear selector (if you'll have an auto) to glance at and connect over bluetooth for voice guidance. Carplay / Android auto would be a nice addition, but defiantly not a priority, at least for me.

Heated wheel and seat make it more comfortable having the top down at 50F.
