Greetings from across the pond
Been lurking on here for a few months, since purchasing the car in the picture below really. Discovered a short while ago that I have known one of the members for quite a few years (hi Mahjik!) and thought I ought to finally register an account and say "Hi". Purchased the F-Type back in March this year, just a few days before the UK went into lockdown, so I did at least have some smiles during that period. It's the P450 model in Portofino Blue with performance seats, suede roof lining and a few other small options. Been loving every second of the soundtrack but already got the itch to unleash a few more horsepower (I blame my days of Nissan 200SX ownership and the constant thirst for more power!)

Modified my Blade wheels
This is my second 2017 F-Type, my first was an almost identically equipped convertible. I never liked the dark color of the blade wheels, but since my convertible was a lease, I didn't change anything. My new (old 2017) is a coupe, so I decided to change the look of the wheels. I found a local wheel repair company, and had the OEM Blade wheels repainted in a metallic silver color. I'm attaching some pics of before and after. I realize the change may not be to everyone's taste, but it pleases me. Sorry about the garage pics, but weather didn't permit any outdoor shots right now. I left the barrel and polished rim untouched, just painted the spokes and outer portions. The OEM color hides a lot of brake dust, but I think the brighter color sets off the red much better. I'll just have to wash more often!

Please excuse me Dave as I am not familiar with format usage. Sold a horse ranch DEEP in the Beaver Mtns of Utah...A Paiute Trail Outpost. Moved to a large town in SW Utah and took my John Deere $$ and purchased my '17 F Type! Just a dumb cowpuncher, Sir.
The pics I was referring to are at the top of this thread and submitted by the "Thread Starter" and I have little clue as to how to message him....I GIVE UP,LOL!
Thanks for the reply though, I dig this Forum.

There are places who will take pictures and turn them into wall art/posters, like this: https://www.allposters.com/myphotos/
BTW, those initial photos are Jaguar press photos.
