Default Newbie with a 2017 F Type

Hi All...I am new here, we just picked up a 2017 F Type Premium, in Italian Racing red for my wife. We have not had a sports car since 1990 (that kid thing etc made us trade it in!) and we are absolutely delighted with this car. Only driven it a couple of miles so far, but hope to get it out today. We went in to buy an F Pace and realized that with all our kids driving and living elsewhere, and having a SUV and a sedan, why not pull the plug on a great two seater - mission accomplished!

I hope to learn a lot from you guys as this is my first Jag - always been a BMW guy.

Set up F-type sharing agreement before you start fighting over the keys.

Thanks for all the welcome messages. First thing I want to do is get a clear bra installed. Does anyone have a good shop recommendation for the South Bay (Southern CA, Torrance, Redondo Beach , Long Beach).

Thank you

Congratulations, but pictures needed! A little bit of a shlep, but Sticker City on Van Nuys Blvd. in Sherman Oaks is probably the best known installer around, nothing but high end cars there every day.

IRR and black pack - your wife has exemplary taste (it just so happens that mine is the same).

Enjoy!

Excellent choice. This car wants to be red. And while white does look good, it seems like 90% of the F-types are white.

Default Color choice

thanks all, yes we love the color combo. The car is much improved with the Black package, but I was happier about it having the exhaust button! This was the only one we could find within 300 miles exactly equipped as we wanted, in IRR.
