Yeah, JLR have had some massive problems and crazy delays with parts deliveries since they centralised some of their storage facilities. I thought they had sorted that out but perhaps not considering your delivery time. Well worth the wait I hope.
What have you done to your F Type today?

Replaced the standard puddle lights with Jaguar logo lights and also changed the footwell lights for 8000K LED’s.

Gave it a much needed wash after a weekend of lots of nice driving and cosied up in the garage for some Sunday evening detailing. Went shopping in France and Germany yesterday so had the pleasure of doing both some French autoroutes and German Autobahns. Haven't had to deal with insect splatter for quite some time now and thought that the fly season was over but apparently it isn't at 250 km/h on the Autobahn.
While cleaning under the spoiler I remembered that I wanted to ask about these little felt pads under the lip of the coupé spoiler. One of mine fell off years ago and then I also removed the other one quite some time ago. It just seemed to soak up water and I kept catching it when drying under the spoiler. There's clearly space between the spoiler and the body and there are no signs of the spoiler ever rubbing against the body so what's the point of these pads? Extra safety in case the spoiler for some reason gets misaligned and starts touching the body?

Looks great. I’ve already done exactly this to mine too. A really easy and cheap but really effective DIY mod. They should be like this from the factory IMO!

A rinseless wash and a nice Sunday afternoon drive on dry country roads! Perfect way to end the weekend!

Not silly at all. Rinseless wash is the process that involves rinsing the car, soaking with a cleansing agent and using the same solution for the contact cleaning with a special type of sponge then drying the car without a final rinse.
It uses a lot less water and it's arguably the safest way of cleaning the bodywork without scratching it. It's mostly recommended for a "maintenance wash", when the car is not so dirty and it's already protected with a wax, sealant or coating.
