Collect Monday. Alloys being fitted on handover.

10 months to the day from ordering.

I am sure it'll be worth the wait 😊

Update


Click image to enlarge

The JLR Poole paint shop colour coded to match V8 with the satin grey inserts. Standard brake calipers painted in same colour as V8. Blue/Turquoise front, gloss black rear.

Side steps now fitted.

Nearly 2 weeks in and we are blown away by it. Absolutely stunning vehicle to drive.

The 3.0 straight six as smooth as our old E90 330d and our current F31 330d. Sounds nice, nothing like a diesel. Feels much more than 200bhp.

That looks great, good to see they did a good paint job.
I may have cocked up on mine a bit though as I've asked for sills, wheels and bumpers corners and wheel trims to be gloss black and the sills/wheel trims swapped to a smooth finish and also the bumpers to be a painted a silicon colour as per the P400X model but I didn't think about mirror caps or badges on the side.
I'm going to get the calipers changed to Brembo's once I've figured out the mounting bracket configuration. I'm probably going blue to match my shopping car Whistle I may have to visit the dealer again to double check.

#Andy talk to Louis.

I am working on the parts needed to complete the Brembo 6 pot brake upgrade, I've got a company that can do colour match to V8 on 6 pot Brembos.

Since collection I had paint correction. 2 stage polish treatment and canubra wax.

If your hardtop was mine, I'd go down the exact look of a Carpathian Grey V8 Bow down

Carpathian was my second choice of colour, but chuffed I went black, despite the pain in the Harris cleaning!

One thing I've found out, is my spec could have only been assigned for a mater of weeks. Lots of options on mine you can no longer get.

Just ordered Defender Console Tray

Part Number: LR131904.

I wondered why the cup holder tray didn't have a cover on it.

Apparently removed from MY22. Although I noted it's fitted to the V8

They look like standard calipers painted, you beat me to the colour but great minds and all that. Thumbs Up
I was going the route of matching to a V8 Carpathian edition but I wanted something just a little different so I'm going to match this car in terms of colours but not all the added bits:

I'm going down the PPF route with just an impact level so all the vunerable parts on the front and down the sides but I will also get the paint sorted too, not sure if they arrive in a bad shape or not but yours looks proper shiny now.

The pictures are taken the day I picked it up.

They are the standard calipers, as stated in previous post.

Painted as a service provided by the dealership.

I will at some point, fit Blue Brembo 6 pots, just for the look, as fitted to V8, as below:

Why don't you ask the dealership to fit them to yours now before collection?

With side steps fitted. Probably not going to fit mudflaps now. 🤣

That one has the wide arch kit fitted. I've seen that one. Prefer the standard alloys.
