County Exterior Pack for L663
I’m deciding on the spec for a 110 D250 HSE and liked the look of the County Exterior Pack that is listed under the ‘visual packs’ part of the configurator. There are 3 colour options - Fuji White, Santorini Black or Tasman Blue. Would be good to see a car in the metal but my overall impression is:

- 20” gloss white wheels look fabulous (was always a fan of the 18” steelies), seems these are unique to the County Pack
- the contrasting colour roof / tailgate and decals, particularly on the Fuji White car, help to break up the bulk and add a bit of interest. A very classic look IMO.

Not sure whether to go with Fuji or Tasman. Here are 2 pictures I grabbed from a recent video. Hopefully by the time I need to lock in my order, there will be a few more pictures available.

Although I'm a big fan of Fuji white, that blue roof just looks wrong so in that case I would go for Tasman Blue Thumbs Up Cheers Ian

Has to be the Blue one - white with the blue roof doesn’t look that great. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

" 20” gloss white wheels look fabulous (was always a fan of the 18” steelies)"

You understand the 20" wheels are ALLOYS and they don't rust like the 18" steels. although they do look pretty similar.

The alloys look great, l was going to replace my steelies with them but it would cost around £2,000 and wouldn't actually look that much different.

My steelies haven't rusted, l sprayed some clear wax rust proofing product into the seams (where the rust seems to start) and they've never rusted.
l've also got a brand new spare set, they're available for next to nothing because people remove them to fit alloys.

l like the white roof though. l may get mine wrapped or painted.

Yep, I’d call that a pretty strong consensus for Tasman! You can’t all be wrong so that’s what I’m going with!

Now just need to decide on the interior. What would complement the blue exterior? Had ebony Windsor before so fancy a change:
- my default choice is vintage tan Windsor at it gives the car a more luxurious feel IMO
- also attracted to light oyster Windsor though will be challenging to keep clean - any experience?
- not convinced that khaki will match the Tasman but you may know different.

Yes thanks LR Nuts, I read the wheels were alloys which I’d prefer over steels.

Thanks for all your inputs / thoughts to date.
