Firenze red
I've been lurking on this site for a while now and thought it's about time I posted a pic.
This is our 3rd disco. Our 2nd disco 4.
Took delivery of it just before Christmas. I was extremly impressed with our last one which was a 2012. So took the plunge and bought another.
It's took about 12 weeks to arrive but well worth it.
It's the HSE, in firenze red with the black pack. Heated steering wheel plus side steps. Still awaiting the black rubbing strips but they will be on soon.
A contrast from our last one which was black but we like the colour combination.
On the first day out in it we had 3 different people come up and compliment us on it.Best of British

I guess it's a personal thing but I'm always surprised how few red D3/D4 are out there. I think they really well in that colour.IID PRO

Of course I'm bias, but a great looking set up
(just make sure that when they retro fit the side protection that they prepare the surfaces properly, mine is going back for a second time for them to try and get it right after having not done so)There are 10 types of people in this world ~ those that understand binary and those that don't.

Looks real nice.
Although personally I'm allergic to side steps & rubbing strips - but that's my problem.
The red with black pack is absolutely stunning.
Enjoy.

Cheers guys.
I'm pleased with the way the black pack sets it off.
The 20" black wheels do look good and contrast very well. The extended roof rails also help to get rid of the "hump" look from the back end as well.
The Nav screen looks to be updated from the MY13. Colours seem brighter and slightly different.
Stop start will take a little getting used to. But the little I've driven it so far it seems ok.
I also opted for the 5 year service pack.
Bit of a no brainier to be honest. I intend to keep it 3 years so it will more than cover service costs. Plus it's transferable so a good selling point.
Sorry I don't have more pictures but I had to go back offshore 3 days after picking it up.
I'll take onboard what you said about the door mouldings when they get fitted and keep an eye on them.
Yes, the Aston does sound well. On the days I pop out in it that is Best of British
