Is it possible to retro-fit the Cherry Wood to the doors, or are they only a factory build option?
I didn't really want the centre 'hockey sticks' but quite like the wood door panels.

It's probably easier to order the car with the Cherrywood and then change the "hockeysticks" to the metal-a-like. Somebody on here or on RangeRovers.net has posted about how to do it, 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Oddly enough my car is off to the dealership tomorrow to have the cherry door panels and centre 'hockey sticks' to be retro-fitted since they omitted this trim on the original order. Harwoods are doing the job for zero cost

However I did enquire to Landrover head office as to how much the parts were and its something like £450, they discouraged me from fitting the parts myself. However others on this forum may have had a DIY experience they wish to share.

Out of interest was the wood trim missed off the original order? , there have been a few of us caught out by the vaguery of choosing this trim since there is no tickable box that I recall on the maindealer order form, it rather takes the form of a verbal agreement thats either remembered by the dealer salesman or not.. P400e HSE Portofino Blue and Ivory Seats.. it's like a yacht!!

No it wasn't missed off, we decided on the rhodium as it seemed to match the centre console, but having seen some with the wood door panels, they look quite nice.
I suppose I best speak to my dealer and see if it is not too late or if they would retro-fit them..  Arrived - RRSport 2016 HSE SDV6 HSE

If you have a build date you should be OK to change anything on the spec up to a week before that - the orders are all computerised so in theory it is just a matter of them tapping in the X in the box. As those of us who visited the factory saw, near every car on the line has a different spec, changing the timbering shouldn't be a problem........................ 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Agree with Tim and our guide told my group that orders can be changed up to 24hrs before production - most dealers don't like doing it because of the trouble! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

What do you reckon the chances are of getting just the wood on the doors and keep the rhodium instead of the hockey sticks  Arrived - RRSport 2016 HSE SDV6 HSE

Boldy, we bought our car from Harwoods via findmyrangerover.com.

The sales guy I dealt with didn't really seem to give a s t when I rang him about things.

He also delivered the car without the mats he threw in gratis and took 4 weeks to get them to us (We're in the NW)

Car was also delivered with marks on the paintwork which he didn't seem too bothered about and just said drop it into local dealer for full body polish and bill him £100 or so for it. Claims he checked the car over himself b4 it set off.

All in all, not 100% satisfaction but still love the car Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

Are there not airbags fitted in the doors? If so then I'd leave any kind of retro-fit to a dealer. Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

Sorry Richchad, you canhave either cherrywood or rhodium finish. You can't have a combination of both, that would just be greedy.

The vehicle quality inspectors would never cope if customers could have exactly what they wanted.  Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

talking about this.. my car came with rhodium trim from factory (metal one right?) but when it went onto demo, the dealer stuck on wooden panels to the side bits of stereo, the bits around the heater vents etc but no side pannelling.. i didn't actually like the look of the wood and preferred the metal trim so they removed them for me before delivery.

I have them lying round in my garage if anyone wants to have a go with them? seem easy enough, just stick em on.. pics available on request..

Kam, if you look in the LR accessories brochure (I'm starting to sound like Tim! ) you can order all sorts of add on bits such as the hockey sticks, vent surrounds etc but I agree with you, I don't really like them.

Each to their own. When we bought ours, there were two Java's we could have chosen from and this was when we wanted Alpaca.

Harwoods had Alpaca/Cherry or Ebony/Rhodium. Mrs ST and I agreed we didn't want the cherry trim so opted for the ebony/rhodium. Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

mine was alpaca with rhodium from the factory and they wacked these wood trims on.. i think ebony with rhodium looks better, but i preferred the rhodium to the wood in either case, so luckily they played ball with this and had them removed.. also fitted my tints in with the price.. thinking back, that was actually quite a nice transaction, they helped a lot!
