Buying a SCV8 Ipanema Sand - what wheel/ roof colours

Hi All Thumbs Up

I am starting my RR experience with a Autobiography Dynamic 2014 SC V8 with 8k miles - hoping to enjoy the experience very much.

The car has body color sliding pano roof and regular 21 inch alloys.

I was wondering how it would look with black roof and gunketal grey alloys. The car's colour is Ipanema Sand.

Would anyone have a picture to share?

I dont want to ask the job to be done and regret later on.

I've been told 12mpg town having fun, 18mpg careful and 23 mpg highway - sounds correct?

I should have mentioned I am coming from a Disco 4 Landmark which I love

Thanks

Hi Mavg,
There's quite a good tool to be used on the LR website where you can build your own car. I know it's not ideal but you can play about with colours, wheels etc and get a rough idea of what the car would look like.
I have owned a '59 plate supercharged previously and you coming from a Disco 4, will find a massive step up. I had toured Europe with it and found it fantastic, comfortable, roomy and effortless. MPG was indicated at 26.... I was gentle on the throttle with mostly Autoroute driving and on adaptive cruise. I honestly think you won't look back.
All the best and enjoy Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Rather than paint the roof how about a "wrap" - then you can remove it when you are tired of it! Also when I was looking at getting and Evoque wrapped the companies I went all had computer software that they could use with a photo of your car and apply all the various coloured wraps to the photo (I suppose it was a fancy photoshop program) to give you an idea........ 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

We had the roof of our RRS painted in Santorini black, as a contrast to the main body. It cost 500.00 at the LR dealer. This is the same price as quoted by Land Rover on the build it yourself programme on their web page. I looked at wrapping, but I do not know of any decent companies in our area. I only wish we lived near to that guy, Yannimise, who operates from London, and I would be tempted to try out different roof colours. 2015 Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic SDV6
