A couple of (fairly rubbish) pics.
From last Thursday when I picked it up. The LR (Mantec) bash plate was swapped over by the dealer, but as Ken had it powder coated black, you can't really see it:
The 20" rims will be swapped for my 19" D3 HSE rims and Pirelli ATR's in time for a jaunt on Salisbury Plain this weekend. For once I'm hoping it wont be too muddy 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
2010 D4 HSE (A bit bling)-GONE
2014 D4 HSE (Almost too bling)-GONE
2015 D4 HSE (A heated what?)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Written Off)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Surely the last!) PD1881 rims-GONE
2017 FFRR SDV8 Autobiography (now semi-retired)

I'd still change the wheels if you before Salisbury. They do get scratched if you find some mud as i found out to my cost down there last year. My17 Volvo XC90 Inscription

Steve, I was being sarcastic in my post to Del. The wheels will most definitely be changed prior to Salisbury Plain.
Whilst the ride quality is still great, I can notice the difference with 20" rims (I did a few hundred miles in an HSE Lux prior to my new D4 being ready) and I prefer 19"s. Most importantly though, the old D3 HSE rims are almost kerb proof and I still think they look good as well.
Given the choice I'd have 18" rims anyday. Great ride comfort and a deeper sidewall for off-roading. I can't justify the cost of a set of Compomotive 18"s though, not whilst I've still got a hoard of 19"s rims and ATR's.2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

Yeah, sorry - I was a little slow there. I'd love to blame the jet lag but tbh, I just missed it!
