I see they've gone with clear side repeaters.
But I'm amazed they've not gone with the clearer rear light cluster featured on another concept D3
someone will no doubt find the pic [cy]

Ha ha, after the dealer swearing to me that the 3.0ltr is nowhere on the horizon for at least 12motnhs+ and me signing on the dotted line, LR release this at the Geneva motor!

...only because if you turn the brightness right down you can't see all the half painted bits and lumpy bumper!
(the arches look like it was parked in a puddle of paint overnight)

I think it looks cack. So when or if my next one comes colour coded I will take the coded arches and bumpers off and fit black plastic ones then when I come to sell it... Oh hang on.. if I go for Rimini Red next time, I could take the coded kit off it and fit it to my current one when I sell it In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
God knows why they are trying to painting more of the D3 - they didn't manage to paint all of mine as it is "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

Land Rover Discovery 3 2009 makes global debut in Geneva.
Gaydon, Warwickshire, March 2008
The 2009 Land Rover Discovery 3 will make its global debut at the 78e Salon International de l'Automobile, Geneva (March 6-16, 2008). The eye-catching exterior revisions for 2009 add fresh refinement to the acclaimed exterior design - incorporating new front and rear body colour bumpers, body coloured wheel arches and revised exterior detailing.
The pure and clean exterior design has been refined with a re-profiled front bumper, (body coloured on all models), and revised rear bumper and wheel arches, which are body coloured on higher trim levels [SE and HSE –application varies by market]. The distinctive, asymmetric two-piece tailgate now comes with body coloured tailgate lift handle and the attention to detail continues with the revised "tungsten" coloured side vent, "tungsten" door handles on higher trim levels, and clear-lens side repeaters across the range.
A new 19-inch 7-spoke wheel style and three new exterior metallic paint colours - Santorini Black, Galway Green and Bournville [black with a hint of brown] - complete the exterior changes for 2009. Interior upgrades include a new "almond" trim colour and an updated Bluetooth system.
Phil Popham, Land Rover managing director, comments; "with almost 100 international awards to date, the Land Rover Discovery 3 has earned itself a reputation as the ultimate all purpose vehicle. The latest revisions add to an already class-leading package to build on the Discovery 3's unique position as one of the most versatile vehicles in the world - on-road refinement to rival executive saloons, flexibility to surpass people carriers and class-leading all terrain capability."
So it's dependant on trim level and market. New black, green and now available in chocolate The End
Chocolate brown - yummy
