But is the waiting list coz they're filling up the T5 line with RRSs? It's easy to generate the sought after feeling by restricting supply. Do they still make the FF on that line?
Could be the case Del, but Velar is made on the same line, as is the Sport I presume? I think they are selling as predicted. If I were in charge, I'd make as many as possible of the most profitable products that I could shift. I presume RR products make more £££ than Land Rovers?

Wow!!! What a difference that thinner plate has made...
I kept looking at the pics and i couldn't understand why the cross on one and the tick on the other...until i started reading the article!

Who said in here that JLR would not care about what we think? I think they do!

On the waiting times a dealership kind of admitted to me they 'think' the T5 line is being prioritised for the range rovers (velar presumably?) hence the D5 orders are taking time to fufil.MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten

I also sprayed the grey bumpers black £275, it helps but one should not have to send a new car to the spray shop to make it look better.
Other number plate options £15 each

So around £300 to improve the back end (a little bit)In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Painting the bumpers and things black have made a difference.
Although no matter what shape of number plate you put on it. It still needs redesigned!
