The Range Rover Thread

I completely agree, Its like the painted different colour roof option, still the same roof, but different colour !

One thing that is bloody lovely though, is the Autobiography ebony and Ivory interior spec, its a very special place to be.

My kids would destroy that! I’m actually veering towards the opposite direction. I’m slowly buying up black alcantara roof and pillar trims.

There is that, have you got the white Alacantara roof and trims then, as it does look nice !!

Its not alcantara just standard cream. It ok. But I like the feeling of being cocooned in the car. Feels a bit as if I'm sitting top of it. rather than in it at the moment.

The red Brembos are autobiography spec. Not standard on HSE Dynamic. Although I'm convinced that they're the same brakes just painted and branded as the size and shape looks exactly the same to me. Im in the same boat @Schmeel its my wife's car. I'll only be driving it occasionally. It already has some nice 21s on it with good tyres. The 22s look great and I'd get them if it was mine but she'll just kerb them anyway!

Exactly.

Any mods I do would have to be sympathetic ones. I.e side steps or small visual mods like black pack etc...

Side steps are a must I think. I’m going to do the calipers in orange. Ive got roof rails to go on and I fitted the Android head unit a couple of days back. A few wee other tweaks in the interior and black headlining (once I’ve collected all the bits) and I’m done.

A wise man once said to me - a true car enthusiast will never keep a car forever, there is to many flavors, so buy the best, highest spec model you can, this is not only good for you, but good for when you come to sell it.

£1k mate. Anything around £16.5k I’m happy with.

TODAY MARKS ONE MILLION RRS SOLD ACROSS THE GLOBE

So brimmed my tank today at BP Park Lane 79 litres.

123.8 Miles and the gauge has barely moved with range registering 411 miles still.

These cars can be very economical!

Was just talking about that to my Mrs earlier. Seems to be much better on fuel than I was expecting.

Hey gents,

So I ran some number for initial first year costs:

Tax £475
Insurance £740

Sound fair? or should I be trying harder?

Best price I've found so far is £1450. Would probably be another £600 on top of that for paint.
