From that angle, it looks really good. In fact, best in the range.

darker back end means that your eye concentrates on the front - not a bad strategy - instead of two tone with the roof a different colour maybe LR should offer the D5 two tone with the rear 1/4 a darker, less noticeable colour?

Looks cool. I think the huge Range Rover wheels help with the look.D4 XS, gone, much loved, never forgotten

Those are D5 alloys, available in polished or standard silver.
Not to be confused with these L405 Range Rover wheels

Also available in polished, I believe Red Merle has them on his full fat.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

I may have missed something here and if so I apologise but who chose this vehicle as Scotland's car of the year? The auto press, TV programme or who? JLR?2014 MY Discovery XS Indus Silver. Sadly gone. Second last LR of forty eight years continuous ownership.
