Hello there. I am a 'newbe' to this forum, and eagerly waiting on a delivery of a new V6 S Coupe, which, I have been told will be available mid Nov 2106?? The exterior spec is; Colour...Firesand with a panoramic roof, black brake calipers & 20" silver tornado alloys (no black pack!) As I have never seen one of these fine cars with the same spec in 'real life' (and only on the computer image from the Jaguar web site) I would dearly like to see photos of other members pride and joy having the same spec! Roll on mid November ehh!
Firesand, V6 S Coupe

Not exactly the same spec - but similar (and wheels are now black). Took delivery Sept 1;<div> </div><div><img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/uploads/820/20160819_122915s.jpg" height="393" width="700" border="0" /></div><div> </div><div><img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/uploads/820/20160819_123005s.jpg" height="393" width="700" border="0" /></div>

Good idea to have changed the wheel colour to black. Looks so much better. Mine's red with the black pack and came with silver wheels but I had them powder coated black - a massive improvement in my opinion.<div><br><div><br></div></div>
Hi Firesand,<br /><br />Pistonheads have just taken delivery of a Firesand V6S coupe without the black pack but with black wheels.<br /><br />The link to the article and pictures is below:-<br /><br />http://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-fleet/jaguar-f-type-s-coupe-ph-fleet/35151<br /><br />Hope this helps.<br /><br /><br />Scoobydoo
Hi Scoobydoo,<div> </div><div>Thank you for the web page info, which I visited and gives me a semi taster of what it will look like. From this forum I have seen comments on the Firesand colour, and it does not appear to be a popular shade...Even Piston Heads comments of "who else would spec one in this colour?" made me grin. Ah well, one man's meat is another man's poison...As the saying goes.</div>

For what it's worth, I think Firesand is a great colour. <img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0" alt="Thumbs Up" title="Thumbs Up" /><br>

<div> </div><div>Interesting - almost all the comments I have seen on here (and the TT forum where I came from), and when out and about suggests it suits the car perfectly, and people love it

<blockquote>Agreed - and it looks great with chrome too.<br><br>Scoobydoo</blockquote><br><br>I agree. Having the bright 'metal' (Chrome, Aluminium, Silver etc..) colour as a contrast works well with the intensity of the orange and it somehow gives a cleaner, fresher aesthetic than using black as a contrast.<br>

Absolutely Timbo69! It would be a dull world if we all liked the exact same things.<br>
When I ordered my F Type Coupe last year, I opted for IRR with Chrome and silver alloys. However, when I saw a Firesand Coupe with sports design and black pack I was very close to changing my order. I was worried that Firesand might not be a popular colour and might be difficult to sell on in the future, so I "bottled" it and stuck with IRR - a head over heart decision!<br /><br />Six months later, my local dealer agreed to buy my old car back and let me order a new car (it's a long story). As I had the chance to start again, I decided to go with my heart and order a Firesand Coupe.<br /><br />Having had my new car for three weeks, I can't believe how many favourable comments I've had about the colour, many more than my previous IRR Coupe. It seems to appeal to all ages. I love it!<br /><br />When I figure out how to post photos, I'll load up a couple of both cars.
