My new ride here in Switzerland

My baby here in Switzerland. It is a 2012 SDV6. I like the Galway green, but am a little unsure about the red callipers.

Gotta say, I love it to bits.

Personally I have always liked red caliphs, I guess though it is a personal choice thing, I've also never liked alloys on dark coloured cars, so am glad that currently black alloys also appear to be en vogue.

Enjoy your wheels - looks in exc condition...

Thanks for the flowers. It is a lovely creature. I name all of my loved cars. This one is Cindy. She compliments my 1996 expedition Disco named Heidi, and my 1952 series 1 named Daisy. That is what you end up with when you come from Solihull.

Your front bumper doesn't look like a standard OEM but it integrates well and the colour scheme is great, I like the red calipers they brighten up what is otherwise quite a dark colour scheme. Galway Green is very dark, I have a similar Green on my Defender except in 1996 the Green then was called Espom Green! The current Aintree Green is also a lovely colour too but unfortunately not that common. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Interesting about the front bumper. I will have a look at other 2012 models here in CH. I had a defender 90 in a similar green 12years ago. I do like the contrast of the dark exterior with light leather interior with darker dash top. Just a nice combo. There are some wonderful much loved vehicles on this forum. I like to read about the passion for cars.
The red callipers are growing on me, so will probably stay, your point about it brightening a dark scheme is spot on. All the best. J

took a look at the front bumper..

It is the original spec front bumper I believe. Here it is front on.

Yes , it was the slots in the bottom of it shown from the side that made me think it might not be OEM. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Tim,

Looks OEM to me.

Here's my old Galway TDV8 front end - I think the colour coding makes the Swiss one stand out.

Thank you for the kind messages

I like the colour for sure. There is something about its individuality. My brother in Brum has a lovely Red/orange coloured one, the name of the colour evades me. I look forward to seeing them side by side.
