Ruled out Q7 (looks and a lil too long), XC90 (voted out by the Mrs), the estate version of any car (personal taste) and finally Disco 5 (love the look, but didn't check a few boxes). Hope I am not kicking myself in 4 months.

I would have avoided the Grand Piano Black trims, they scratch very easily and look like shiney plastic........... 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

Thanks for the tip. Love the look though (which may not last if it scratches)

I would think that the standard "engine turned" dark grey pattern would go well with your interior, I have it on my Corris HSE Dynamic with an ebony / lunar interior.

Looks very nice, I also went for the 5+2, but have to say they are really tiny.

Don't mind the 2 being tiny...only for occasional use and by no one older than 11 years old.

btw could you still select the service pack? I thought they have removed it from the MY17 options list.
My dealer still honored it when delivering my car, but mine was a 16.5 order built against 17 spec

I got the service pack with my March 17 delivery - not free though, which it is for cars registered before 31 December.

A bit late posting these, but nothing new because many Carpathian grey RRS have been posted on here. Last pic shows boot space with third row seats up. My 7 year old has used the third row once and works well as long as you move the second row forward. You really need to spec side steps if you go for them though, makes a big difference getting in and out from the third row. Added mudflaps and SVR grill to my initial spec.

First time I have owned anything other than a BMW and loving it so far!

I've got a Carpathian Grey RRS HSE Dynamic due within the next two weeks. I couldn't decide between Corris or Carpathian (I changed the order back and forth numerous times before it got locked down!). Seeing your pics has reassured me that I made the right choice - it looks great! I can't wait for mine to arrive now
