Saw my first one on the road today, Namib Orange 1st edition, man that oversized offset rear plate looks horrid, can I say that as a soon to be owner? I'll adopt a guide dog puppy as a way to make amends
The brake lights look rather small on such a large vehicle but were noticeable.
I'm pretty pleased with it.
It's the beginning of the end my final week with the D4, plate goes on retention tomorrow, it won't look like mine.
J77 have a look at the thread on Disco5 regarding brake lights.

I pointed out the new discovery in a Land Rover dealer as we sat in traffic to my wife earlier today. She pointed out how hard it was to tell the difference between all the new models but suggested that the D4, old FFRR and Freelander were not dissimilar in their shapes either. And when I asked what car we would replace the D4 with when the time came (never hopefully), she suggested that we can't really go backwards in terms of practical space so it would be the new discovery. Which she really rather liked. So despite my reservations, I'm sure at some point we'll be looking for one.

That would defeat the purpose of modding. It was odd to say the least.

Saw a black one with privacy glass today - the colours did a great job of hiding the C pillar and it looked absolutely stunning
