Nice start Dave. Sorry I didn’t reply sooner. The police were here questioning me about our group and something about speeding over the weekend. And that is absolutely true as I sent DJS, Mbourne, and Unhingd the photo of the Officer who came to our house. The only difference is they are a friend and were here to have a cup of coffee and discuss the event and, yes, someone calling about our hooliganism. Which is simply and unequivocally untrue. We were model citizens.
“Officer, thank goodness you are here. That other group of 18 Jaguar F-Types just passed and if you hurry I think you can catch up to them!”
Beautiful!....btw....what do you use to address minor scratches on that...I'm finding all type of scratches depending on the way the light hits my 2017 black F-type.

Hello. I’m assuming you are addressing that question to me? My 2015 V6S is Stratus Gray—although it can appear to be black in some angles—and I suspect that there are far more authoritative forum members who can better address how to deal with minor scratches than I.
I will say that while Turtle Wax was kind enough to send all of us their Hybrid Solutions Ceramic 3-In-1 Detailer, I still love what they sent us last year; that being their ICE Seal N Shine Spray which I follow with their ICE Spray Wax. I’m telling you…it’s fantastic stuff! (Just remember, as with any product, to read the directions carefully before using).
RickyJay52 thanks for responding with that info!!....Actually you're right....I'm making all the new guy mistakes with my posting skills...sry. Although I'm lovin my black F-type, it seems to have a few minor scars I'm trying to "mask". I'm sure all dark grey/blue/black color F-type owners struggle with this issue over time. Yes, it would be helpful if more people can share their experience with addressing minor paint correcting techniques

I had a black xf supercharged.....Buy/borrow a random orbitor polisher. Wash/claybar the car. Use the machine with a mild polishing compound (coarser only where needed). Baby smooth. Apply carnauba wax (old school) or other DYI sealant depending on how you want to maintain... or have someone do the same clay and polish and/or get a clear film or ceramic coating. I have the latter on my f type. Maintenance is ok if you have the time and the patience....a real bonding experience with your car.
Do you have a link to a build thread or album you can share? Gorgeous car!
Unfortunately not but I will try to upload more pictures step by step.
Basicaly this car was "average" stock R AWD but when I bought it I already had list of "must do" upgrades in my mind.
1st was SVR body kit with P7 grill and Project 7 style wing (because I never liked SVR wing). Windows and all lamps were tinted. Exhaust tips blacked out as well as all chrome parts.
Then I changed springs into KW HAS and installed complete Mina intake. After that new wheels and PS4 tyres.
Car has also complete transparent wrap on it.
In the meantime interior (including steering wheel) was completly redesigned and I also created new shift paddles as per my liking because stock are kind of joke imo.
I have also upgraded sound system speakers and prepped doors with dynamat.
There are few more things "pending" like water/meth injection (parts already in my hands) and front calipers upgrade along with drilled 2-piece steel rotors.
Currently car has just upgraded software but during winter time it will receive Velocity lower pulley and tune.
In the end I may replace oem cats with metal and increase whole exhaus diameter into 2,5inch along with slighltly bigger tips.

Wow! That's freaking awesome! Seems there isn't a lot of aftermarket stuff going on for the F-type, but you've done a ton!
Can't wait to see more pics when you have a chance.
Cape Cod in the late summer! Hard to beat. A bit windy today but 78 degrees (F) and sunny. Of course perfect for three hours in the Ftype playing tourist even though I’m a native of the Cape.
