and in with the new (to me)
Didn't go looking for a Lux, but somehow ended up with one.. Very impressed coming from a D3 Manual GS.

Noticed tonight that the stainless steel rear bumper tread plate isn't on the car, instead it's the normal black one.
Would you take this up with the dealership?.Discovery 4 HSE Luxury Santorini MY12

My MY13 Lux just has the normal black tread plate. The metal one was an option which I haven't got.D4 MY14 XXV - RLD/IID BT

Hmm bit confused now. Most HSE Lux's I've found have the metal one and according to this brochure it should be included.
I'm guessing the LR dealership will have access to build sheet for the car to tell me for sure.Discovery 4 HSE Luxury Santorini MY12

Mine's a MY12 and there wasn't a HSE LUX when I got mine, HSE was the top spec then.
When did they start making the Lux? Have you actually got a pre-lux HSE? If so, the black bumper trim is standard.MY2022 D5 HSE D300 - with extra nice bits added

If I remember correctly people who have the alluminium/rubber block one complain about the rubber blocks coming out and it is very difficult to get spares, may be better off with the standard one subject to how your bumper gets used.MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange

I'm sure the Lux was available from around September 2012

So if that's the case Dan, would that make it a MY13 onwards? It's certainly shown in the brochure that Edward's linked to.D4 MY14 XXV - RLD/IID BT

The MY2013 was announced on 01/10/2012 and deliveries commenced in November 2013 so there could have been MY2012 Lux models
