Matt Green Finish - I Liked It!
Just spotted this whilst waiting for a taxi outside Chester station. Looks even better in the flesh than the photo, it has a bit of an almost military style look to it. Not sure if it is a wrap or respray? Didn't get any closer to check.
I kinda liked it!

Not my cup of tea - don't get the matt finish look (think colour looks ok with the black detailing though)- but suspect its a wrap
(Like City Legend Balotelli when he camouflaged wrapped his Bentley Continental)

Agreed, that would be the icing on the cake
Even if you're not keen, it did look better in real life. Very eye catchingD4 XS, gone, much loved, never forgotten

It's been wrapped and Matt Green is very "on trend" at the moment. I watched a program about a company in the UAE (IIRC) that specialises in wrapping and the military green look was the most popular.
As Del says, with black wheels etc. I think it would look great.2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

Don't like the idea of the wrapped roof rails, wonder why they didn't wrap the windscreen wipers while they were at it.
However, it would look better with some mud on it. ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Interesting. I wonder if it belongs to the Grovesnor estate. The late Duke of Westminster had a number of interesting Discos, and not forgetting his infamous combat Range Rover from the 1980s.
