Yes Griff, on my drive. The matt film on the grey works very well, the contrast is not huge vs the X models in pangea for example, but it looks very cool. Looks different and the photos do not really highlight the impact of the matt against the gloss black. I like it very much, the car looks very good. The blue used on the front calipers is also a very nice finish.

Photos do not work very well as it tends to darken the overall look. I will try and get the right lighting to show how the gloss contrasts the matt, but so far the images I have done tend to make the matt grey just look dark , so it almost looks black. Will have a go again tomorrow.

I don't think you'll be disappointed Someone will get an aftermarket exhaust right soon.

Mine is due 2/8, probably not being too noisy is a bonus for some - my wife will be much happier than me !
Urban are already looking at an exhaust so sure it will not be too long 🤞 before there is a noisier option, although it will not be cheap. On the plus side you can sell your car for more than you paid for it because demand is outstripping supply so if noise is that big a negative sell it & get a G63 but it’s £50k more - they do sound epic - not sure how they passed all the same noise regs as the LR. In the meantime enjoy 😊 2020 P300 HSE |

They need to make an off road inspired SVX V8 because this ain’t it. No roof load and suede cloth interior is just bizarre strategy from JLR for a Defender
