There is something to be said about getting to the point in the ordering process where you can no longer change your mind.

Anyhow, when the contrast roof became an option on the Pure, we immediately went for it with an Indus Silver body colour, as we are also ordering a Coupe the pan roof had to be included.

So when you spec this, you pay for the basic metallic paint option, then you remove over 80% of the roof by adding the glass panel, then pay a further £500 for the little bit of paint which surrounds the pan roof.

So thinking about this I contacted JLR with a paint option for the Pure, I called it the Pure Contrast option, which in essence meant, also painting black (in the case of our colour choice), the Range Rover Lettering, door handles, front grille, vent/louvres and rear door finisher. The same could be done with Silver or White contrast no doubt.

My logic being this car has extra special emphasis on it's colours and schemes and this was one more for consideration, I know it's not to everyone's taste, but many would like it.

JLR took this on board and I asked if mine could be done like this, pointing that many Pure owners were going down a similar route themselves, and that this was an opportunity for JLR to do this at build stage and that they would gain from this.

Anyhow, I've got my reply, which in short was a thank you but, unfortunately it's not possible to provide you with feedback at this time, however please rest assured that your comments have been taken on board

Fine, contrast roof removed from our order, £500 in my back pocket, along with lots of other owners already doing or contemplating their own paint modifications.
