Default One year anniversary with my 2016 R-Sport

Have about 9000 miles on her so still fairly new. I have to say no issues this far in with the car its been pretty much a flawless experience. Love the ride, handling balance, air suspension and actual steering feel! Still get quite a few people giving compliments about the Jag when they see it parked up. I think the updated front fascia and rear LED's do nicely refine an already superb design.

Couple of pics after a wash and detail showing off the Ultimate Black...

Looks great, is that a lip on the lower front or just painted?

I was wondering why you have the plate like you do.

Thanks. It is a 3M Auto acrylic tape just adds to the existing body kit on the R Sport.

Right, I just don't like center mounted plates and holes in the bumper.

Looks great. Curious, any issues with the Ivory interior? I am looking to purchase soon and love that look but wasn't sure about wear and if there would be any discoloration issues.

Thanks! So my wife's blue jeans do cause some blue discoloration but nothing that a bottle of Lexol leather cleaner cant take care of. It does need some maintenance compared to a darker color so I usually clean the drivers/passenger's seat once a month to keep it looking pristine no other wear issues for me.
