Default Just picked up the F-Coupe R, Stratus Grey
Just picked it up last week, what a stunning car and a great driver. Wanted a rear driver, before they stop making them. Interior is suede microfiber.
The mods have started

1. Lowered 1.3 inches front and back with H&R springs
2. PUR 20 X 9 front, 20 X 10.5 rear (with 20 mil spacer), using the stock tires
3. Window tint (50)
4. Upgraded to the machined paddle shifters (they are slightly longer)
5. Clear Bra everywhere except the doors

next up ECU tune and pulley change, and Satin Black out the Jag leaper.

Excellent looks very sharp. The ivory stitching is a nice touch. Like the wheels too. It would be nice if you could get Jaguar center caps with those.

BTW what did you do with the original wheels?

It's definitely not original - and, yes, I'm over using it - but:

Oh Yes, It's Good To Be Bad, and your new F-Type clearly fits the bill.

From one Stratus Gray owner to another, congratulations!

Beautiful R! Congrats & enjoy. I like your mods so far. The drop looks great. What tuner do you plan on going with for your tune & pulley?

The H&R Springs looks great! Just waiting for my HRE Wheels to be finished so everything can be installed. How is the ride on the new springs?

Latest update:

ECU Tuning Group re-programmed my ECU and changed the pulley. Wow! This thing accelerates like a missile. They have posted dyno results which indicate about 60hp increase over stock. I am very pleased with the results.

Nice mods and good colour choices.

If you could remove the front grille bar and the 'R' from the front it would be the best. I want to do this with mine.

The front grill bar is the ugliest part of the car, IMO. I'm pretty sure they didn't want it (or want it with a better design) but needed it for the sensors and other safety regulations. Would give up the front sensors for a cleaner front grill.

Great stance! Always subtle but very tasteful mods Jeff, I remember you from the 4.
