So I have stuck a few pictures up on various topics, but I thought it was about time I showcased some of my favourite pictures so far of my beautiful car. One thing i've noticed looking through the gallery is as much as we all own the same car, you can see each individuals likes/dislikes etc and the variation is amazing. <br><br>Hope you enjoy!<br><br><img src="http://www.ftypeownersclub.co.uk/forum/uploads/813/IMAG1843.jpg" height="392" width="700" border="0" /><br><br>Fresh out of the detailers after having a enhancement detail, full ceramic coating and PPF film.<br><br><img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/uploads/813/IMAG1895.jpg" height="392" width="700" border="0" /><br><br>Precarious parking at the base of Snowdon... jumping out into the ditch was necessary.<br><br><img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/uploads/813/IMAG1892.jpg" height="392" width="700" border="0" /><br><br>The big cat decided to grab a snack on the way to Snowdon.<br><br>Sure there will be plenty more to come as the adventures continue!<br><br><br>

Liquid diet isn't enough for a big cat!</div><div><br></div><div>Looks awesome, Benji! What a great place to go for a drive, too! </div>
 
I know what I'm like on a liquid diet, so I don't blame her! <img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" alt="LOL" title="LOL" /><br><br>It does live on Tesco Momentum though... Lucky girl!<br><br>Just glad it didn't do any damage to be honest, those grills are quite sturdy it turns out.<br>
 
Must be sturdier than mine!<div><br></div><div>I've managed to lose one of the honeycomb slats in my centre grill! Not that it's noticeable unless you're really looking but still... OCD taking a hit over it...! <img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" alt="LOL" title="LOL" /></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
 
For any of those interested, got a few photos from the Lake District trip with my lil brother.<br><br><img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/uploads/813/20160815_172024.jpg" height="700" width="525" border="0" /><br><br>Have to say the Lake District is beautiful<br><br><img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/uploads/813/20160831_023821_small.jpg" height="525" width="700" border="0" /><br><br>Riding shotgun in style....<br><br><img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/uploads/813/20160831_024206_small.jpg" height="525" width="700" border="0" /><br><br>I will say, extremely picturesque place to visit, extremely daunting in a very wide F-Type. Not recommended for the driving roads! A lot of squeeky bum moments.<br><br><br><br>
 
Amazing shots, Benji, must have been awesome despite the squeaky bum moments!<div><br></div><div>I worked in Barrow-in-Furness for a while so sympathise with you about some of the roads there! </div><div><br></div><div>And the locals drive 'em like they stole 'em in the oncoming lanes! (When there is two lanes that is!!)</div>
 
You're not wrong there Daflux! <br><br>I took a bit of solace when I pulled over to take a photo and a golf pulled up behind me with a nice new scratch to his front bumper... I did think to myself, if I can squeeze up here in this wideboy, a golf should breeze through the gaps.... evidently not. <br>
 
It's a big cat after all, so we shouldn't be suprised that it's killed a bird! Stunning scenery in the lakes. I keep thinking of doing a cheese tour of britain, Cheddar, Gloucester, Cheshire, Wensleydale etc. (more cheese Grommit?).<br>
 
Latest update on the plan for the car:<br><br>I'm getting the design pack wrapped in gloss black and then red pinstriped around the leading edge, this will probably be in October with my current work schedule, but here's a photoshop render of what i'm thinking...<br><br><img src="http://www.ftypeownersclub.co.uk/forum/uploads/813/SBM_Red_PS_Blck.jpg" height="392" width="700" border="0" /><br><br>The red should compliment the calipers and centre hubs, with the black matching that of the grill, centre lower section, and the rest of the black pack.<br><br>What do we think?<br><br>
 
I like it <img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
 
me too - looks great as an accent! <div>I say do it! </div><edited><editID>SammyV6S</editID><editDate>2016-09-15 16:03:48</editDate></edited>
 
Agree with the above, I love little accents like this. They work so well!<div><br></div><div>Go for it! ;) </div>
 
Thanks gents.<br><br>I'm going to leave the back the same as it already has the design pack diffuser, and between the black on that, the white of the car and the red of the tailights it keeps the theme. <br><br>Badges are going to stay chrome, as I can't say I'm a huge fan of blacking out manufacturers badges, but quite tempted for a design under the spoiler (as inspired by Big Bri). <br><br>The car is going on show at the TRAX motorshow at Silverstone on the 25th Sept if anyone is going? Lined up with a McLaren P1, Dodge Viper and WRC Celica. Give me a shout if you are!<br><br><br>

Looking good man!!<div><br></div><div>I'll have to let you know next time I'm up in Scotland for a drive!</div>
 
Loving "giant white car pushes tiny yellow car into the sea" - its good to be bad right ;)<br /><br />Nice to see some pics - looks like you are having lots of fun.
 
Hehe....That was the first thing that entered my mind when I saw that photo on the slipway <img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" alt="Big smile" title="Big smile" /><br><br>Great to see that you are making the most from you F-Type <img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0" alt="Thumbs Up" title="Thumbs Up" /><br>
 
Just a quick update: the car has been in the detailers alot getting the PPF replaced after the first Premium Shield film was fitted terribly and began to lift of - turns out the bonnet is a PITA to get the film to cover completely, i'll forgive it for being so beautiful. It's been amongst friends though...<br><br><br><img src="http://www.ftypeownersclub.co.uk/forum/uploads/813/IMG_20160923_184027_small.jpg" height="605" width="686" border="0" /><br><br><img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/uploads/813/IMG_20161104_155052_small.jpg" height="681" width="681" border="0" /><br><br><img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/uploads/813/20170126_144332_small.jpg" height="393" width="700" border="0" /><br><br>And the rest of the time its been almost too cold to have her out...<br><br><img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/uploads/813/IMG_20161129_125008_small.jpg" height="681" width="681" border="0" /><br><br><img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/uploads/813/20161213_123141_small.jpg" height="393" width="700" border="0" /><br><br>Roll on the summer!<br>
