Looking good, that's a nice colour.
I've yet to see mine, but no doubt my one will have the poorly fitted tow eye cover. Pick it up Tuesday, if not it will be over a week before I can.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

Thank you.
One piece of good news is that my towing eye cover was fitting well this morning and (60 plus miles later), it still is
The only disappointment to far is the "straight grained walnut" trim. No where on the brochure or the website did it refer to it as "wood effect", or such like. Whatever it is is about as convincing as Fablon! If I'd known, I would have paid to upgrade it.2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2

Wow that ever so rare sighting of a D4 with the front tow cover attached. I believe that is even rarer than rocking horse . I will sleep well tonight.

Looks stunning, the wait is over
Re the tow cover strip, mines stayed on so far but the dealer did say they "fettled" it as they'd had issues with them. Its in for sagging and camera quality research Tuesday I'm going to ask them what they did.
Take it you've got a nice day trip planned today to enjoy it?

Thanks RDR!
Oddly, my tow cover has stayed doggedly in place. Perhaps I should take it back and complain!
No day trips, unfortunately, but we did have a nice trip back on Saturday with an unplanned stop at Healey's Cornish Cider Farm A large part of Sunday was spent putting all my stuff back in the Disco and finding homes for everything 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2

Glad you finally got it! It looks fantastic in that colour.
My towing eye cover seems to be doggedly staying in place too. I may live to regret this statement!
