i know,,,,sorry for my bad humour,,,, 2013.5 rrs black edition in white here now

Hi dryden,

No problem...I did realise what you were up to.

My response was for those who would probably have said the same...but meant it. It was hard enough getting a picture of the badge at all ..... without me or my camera reflecting off the badge ...or the shiny new paintwork!!!!!

Hi BC,

....Awaits MY05-09 members requesting where they can buy 'HSE Black' badges to update their RRS's

Short answer - they can't !!!!

"Blacks" are delivered to dealers without badges - the dealer than has to use the "LR Dealer Portal" to order a badge against a VIN number.

Obvioulsy I could have got a badge and sold it on...but that would be dishonest

No doubt they'll be all over Fleebay before too long should anyone in an 'old' sport wish to update

Very easy to get them...so dont believe that...getting parts through the dealer network is easier than other ways

I bought a few 60SE defender parts for my 08 defender - they were the same and only available through a dealer - you just have to know your dealer!

really????

would that be like the bmw 320d drivers who put m3 badges on their bootlid

rrs drivers are not like that,surely 2013.5 rrs black edition in white here now

Got to say that my new "Black" goes like stink compared to my "old" MY 12. I've only done 200 odd miles but the pick up is quicker and the top end is more urgent.

Both cars have the same engine so i'm assuming my last one was a "friday" car is this is a well put together Monday car. MPG also seems to be 3 to 5 MPG better

Anyone else finding a difference.....

got to say after 1500 miles in mine,i'm very impressed
when i had the big rr,,,sometimes i wondered why drivers would spend £60k on a sport when they could get a real range rover for not a lot more,,,a bit like buying a boxster i thought
but thats it,,its a different car altogether
now i look at the full fat drivers and think how they roll and panic driving round fast corners,,lol 2013.5 rrs black edition in white here now

Nice one scrumps......although personally, the snob in me would have left the '13 plate on for a couple of months before I put my personal plate on

Congratulations Scrumps,

Had my hse bkack for a couple of days now and first ever RR so bear with me with the below

1. Surprised by how noisy the engine when idle. Thought with technology it may have been a bit quieter
2. This is the first diesel I've had, and read in the manual about certain types of diesel 90-95 RON which will prevent knocking, this is all new to me, which forecourt and type of diesel should I be using on a new RRS
3. Very impressed with the added bonus of the digital speedo and drivers display
4. I had active lights on my old Lexus rx and the lights turned 20-25 % to the turn when I turned the wheel, the vision assist I have on this RRS turns on another front light when I indicate and turn a corner, is that correct or should the actual beams be turning with the turn of the wheel
5. Need to get used to the cancelation as I had CCVT accelartion in my Lexus and the RRS needs to build up then it becomes smoother


The above are not complaints as I love the car just I need to get used to its characteristics 2013 13.5 MY HSE BLACK with privacy glass, vision assist pack, side steps and ebony headlining

Hi All,

Bought a 2.7 HSE new in 2006 and enjoyed it and had 3 years troble free motoring.

After a brief period with Audi I back in the fold.

Picked up an Orkney Grey HSE Black this morning and boy have they improved the car!!

Out for the first decent drive tomorrow and really looking forward to it.

Cheers
