I really enjoy a gentle motorway cruise in my V8 R P575 with the cruise control set at 65mph! Everyone overtaking whilst smug me is comfy and chill with absolutely nothing to prove to anyone! And doing around 35mpg too.

The dreaded loose window trim! I’ve spent a few hours this afternoon carefully lifting it and removing all the old tape and gloopy glue, getting it perfectly clean and prepared, ready for 3M VHB 6mm tape arriving tomorrow from Amazon to get it firmly stuck down again. A proper faff, but worth it. I’ll have it perfectly attached again by tomorrow evening!

That looks fantastic! I’m jealous! My V8 R has a round steering wheel - you might have just caused me to spend more ££ on mine than I admit to Mrs W! :lol: :lol:

Nice job!

I just noticed the orange lines on the glass. Looks like some antenna wires. I don't have them and I can't remember seeing them on other F-Types.

Makes me wonder what kind of antenna then and why other (earlier?) cars don't have any antenna wires there.

Yes, indeed is an antenna in the glass. Mine is MY21. Maybe DAB radio antenna?
