You joke...

Having had this frequently on my 2011 FFRR, get ready! Doesn't necessarily mean it's flat anytime soon...just be cautious.

Also have the same problem with my 2008 FFRR, think is a genetic thing !!

Interesting to see they now have a black/silver Land Rover badge on the back

Was it just me - or did anyone else think the Firenze Red looked far darker than all previous photo's publicised on the net and magazines?

The firenze red I have seen previously publicised was much brighter - must admit I was a little dissapointed in the Red shown at the show, and starting to think about the blue (cant remember the name!).

did anyone else also notice the split in the panoramic roof on the Dynamic?

I preferred the brushed aluminium in the prestige - which is an upgrade on the dynamic. Also preferred the silver outer styling / grill on the prestige. unfortunatly - no way of applying this to the Dynamic (which we have on order!).

Argghhh

Funny you should mention that, when I placed my order on Saturday my dealer told me that one customer had contacts at LR that was providing him with a Dynamic bumper to add to his Prestige order.

Can't believe someone can smuggle a bumper out the back door for someone, or didn't realise people had contacts to do this type of customisation on new builds.

Yeah it was darker or more muted. However I would never baseline a colour from a brochure as it would have been somewhat tweaked in the first place.

Saying that I only saw it indoors so not so sure how it may look in daylight conditions with various casts light.

Thats what I hoping to do too .... however I have had to order mine from the parts department

Just order the Prestige grill and fender vents and get the dealer to swap them for you free as part of your deal. Thats what I have done. Except I'm applying Dynamic bits to my Prestige (I wanted an Ivory interior)

Can you order the bonnet and side vents and attach them to the 5-doors? If so how, glued on or are they actual vents cut into the body?

The Coupe's bonnet has holes in it for the vents. It has also been posted the Coupe's bonnet is a different pressing. I would assume the side vents aren't stuck on.

Some more photos of the event.
