Correct Thumbs Up 14.5MY SDV6 HSE Dynamic Indus silver/lunar/ebony 20" wheels, InControl, full-size spare, electric tow bar, adaptive xenons, adaptive cruise control, auto main beam assist. Gone: TDV8 HSE; Zermatt silver/ebony, 19" off road alloys, active diff, particle filter, tow pack (it was fun) BMW 730D SE (great car, sadly missed). Ford Focus RS mk2, Ultimate green, lux pack 2, bluetooth. The start of my mid-life crisis.
IN THE GARAGE: BMW i8 - the mid-life crisis continues and it's great fun.

Thanks to all responders - I'll go back to the dealer and try to confirm what you really get with the Brembo upgrade. Would LR really try to con us with just a coat of red paint if they already fitted Brembo calipers? Hmmm... perhaps I'm just naive!


Yes and that isn't the only piece of kit that they have several 100% mark up on - most options and accessories are a rip off 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Question for owners of non-red calipers - are they now 'metallic' or 'black'?

In the initial brochure they were shown as 'black', however when my car turned up they were clearly unpainted.

the current online description is 'metallic'

My car rolled off the production line 2 weeks ago and is now on my drive, I've just been out to look and the non-red calipers are more Matt Corris Grey than black and they are not gloss finish as the LR website makes them look! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Had mine since December 13. The callipers were supposed to be black by default but are actually unpainted. I didn't think it was worth making a complaint about though. They work just fine. Regards
