As per thread title does anyone have any decent photos and/or opinions of the standard aluminium trim in the svr? I'm mulling over the £1,600 carbon option but I'm trying not to go too heavy on the additional options due to future intentions. However, i don't want to regret my decision either?!.. cheers

If you are trying to limit financial losses when moving it on then I would say don't spend £1600 on carbon fibre trim - anyway how much weight will having it save over the normal plastic trims - NIL I suspect, if you were buying a MacLaren or some other sports car then I would say yes have it, but on a heavy SUV it's bit pointless and I doubt any buyer in a few years time would be interested in paying a premium to have it. However if you like it then you are spending the best part of £100,000 on a car, what is another £1600 + fitting in the big picture of things?? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Of course I realise the apparent relative insigficance of an additional £1,600 but it's just as much a question of being worth the outlay as opposed to just the extra cost. In terms of weight saving it's absolutely nothing to do with it, for me it's purely a question of aesthetics. As I've not seen the standard turned aluminium as most have the carbon I was just after some opinion on those who have either of them?

Do not forget that with the carbon option you also get on the 4 doors and additional storages on the front. 2019 Lamborghini Urus ordered
2018 SVR ordered canceled
2017 SVR Carbon Edition 1of40
2015 RRS SDV6 Hybride Autobiography Dynamic
2006 RRS TDV6 HSE Black

Yes that's true mate and it does look nice. Judging by the lack of response I can only surmise that their are not many folk on here who have gone for the turned aluminum!? There are a couple on autotrader but in photos it's very diffiult to judge, I may see if I can track one down to take a look! Cheers

Google "dark engine turned" and the images will throw out an RRS SVR with stock finish

I've gone with carbon on my order.

I drove around to see cars on full black interior carbon looks best.

On dual tone either works to be honest

imo its worth it as i hate the standard trim. One of the only options i would choose as well. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

Thanks for the info peeps...

Have any of you seen the Mansory conversions ?

They look awesome.

Forgive me if even with a white stick and guide dog I can't agree with that statement

Sooo glad I shelled out for the carbon trim, having seen both in the flesh I'm not a fan of the standard one...
Agree the extra storage is restrictive but it's still helpful..

 SOLD - MY16 SDV6 Autobiography Dynamic - Fire Engine Red, Fixed contrast pan roof, TV, Dual Screen, 5+2, Privacy, Noble paddles.
