Well after a year or so in an e92 m3, I'm now back in an RRS. Picked it up this morning from Farnell Land Rover and love it already.

Some pics bellow, but just some poor shots I couldn't resist taking before I drove it away from the dealership...












Interior looks a bit garish on the pics, but a much deeper colour in the flesh...

Very nice Drew But i couldn't live with an interior like that. Enjoy.

Beautiful car mate, enjoy it. The interior is different for sure, I like it, some won't, you obviously do and that's all that matters.  2010 RRS TDV6 3.0 Autobiography - Stornoway Grey

Very nice drew!!!!

I do like red interiors but sometimes they go too far, just look at a 911 with red interior....

Any plans? (Apart from the 22's)

It looks stunning! Enjoy!!  Arrived: MY16 A/B SDV6 in Aruba, Ivory interior, piano black trim, black panoramic roof, spare wheel, blind spot monitoring, mudlaps and more...

Cheers guys!

I didn't like the interior when I saw the pics of the car, but trust me in the flesh it's a much darker red and looks fantastic.

I do agree though, I think land rover went a bit too far with some parts such as the gear stick and surround, so I plan to change that to black.

It's how it came from the factory by the way, it's not an aftermarket job! My preferred option was the cream ebony interior but with 2 kids it would have lasted a minute! Ha.

1st job I wanted to do however was the exhaust tips. Very disappointed with the level of preparation the main dealer managed, the worst was the tailpipes as these hadn't even been touched. So out came the degreaser this afternoon and spent 20 mins making a start on cleaning them back up to how they should be...

Not bad for just a simple degrease and scrub. I'll get the metal polish on them tomorrow to finish them off and remove tar spots etc. Bit sad perhaps, but I'm a bit of a clean freak and like to take of my cars!

Got to make sure your pipes are clean!!!!

Once upon a time, i thought about spraying the innards of my tail pipes matt black and leave the outer rim polished chrome. Seen this before and it looked ok.

Congrats lovely car! This is my favorite model RRS. Then again iam baised.
Oh and my pipes are spotless and so is the underneath around the spare wheel. I hate it dirty under there. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

Ok so whilst looking and deciding which, if any, 22"s I wanted, I came across a set of nearly new hawke chaytons for a good price that I couldn't resist.

Doubtful I will keep the alloys (so pm if interested) but will keep the tyres as they are hancooks and like new. But me being me I couldn't resist trying them on the car, so here it is. Excuse the car being dirty but as stated I couldn't wait to put try them on...

What's the drive like compared with the 20s ?

In a all honesty, not much different at all. Motorway it's exactly the same, only time I can tell a slight difference is over major pot lumps and bumps but even then not that much. The wife didn't even notice I had changed them! Ha

They actually look quite good. You just need to remove that dealer sticker on the rear window. 2014 L405 SDV8 RR Autobiography
