Nope. Too much like the D2 I had.
One of the two reasons I stayed away from a Landmark D4
The other was the God awful wheels. Just my opinion though remember.

I haven't got them on mine but I always think without them it looks like something is missing, why they couldn't have just fitted the full length ones as standard Cheers Ian

Fit these and a RAI and say hello to loads of wind noise. I have removed my rails and fitted the normal ones.
The wind noise is so bad it sounds like the OS rear window is open, or there is a hole in the OS roof.
In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I like them when I'm thinking of my D3 as a Luxury car, I don't when thinking of it as a utilitarian mule.
They look nice but are added bling
Yes I may add them at some point! MY15 DIY Black Pack (Better than factory and half the price!)
