Thoughts on Fuji White with Black Pack
Hello Chaps,
I have just put a desposit down on a new SDV6 HSE D4, I like it but the wife and children think it looks like a drug dealer or other unsavory character might choose the colour. It is Fuji White with the Black pack. It just needs preping and is ready to drive home.
I tried to upload a photo but cant work seem to figure out how to do it.
Thoughts on colour?
Also, Are 20" wheels more noisy than 19"
Thanks

Looks something like this?
I think it looks great! Black and white coloured motors are my favourites! I think the family will grow into it no matter what colour you go for.

I think White with Black looks pretty 8) but then I'm biased.

I have Fuji with Black Pack, and it looks great. It does stand out, but in a good way. 20 inch wheels are a bit firmer than 19, but still a smooth ride. The BP wheels in gloss black are lovely!
I have fitted the light guards, rear ladder and some roof cross bars to add extra black!
The cross bars are not fitted in these pics, and ignore the silver lettering on the boot and bonnet, that has now been rectified with the correct gloss black letters.
Make sure its all there when you pick it up, mine was missing black bits!
I will get a better photo later.

It does need a regular wash if you want to keep it pristine. However, I think it also looks good with a bit of dirt on it too. Yes there does seem to be a lot of black dust hits the sides.
Maybe a set of mudflaps should be added?

I originally planned on a Fuji one,but the wife wasn't keen.... complaining that I spend enough time cleaning cars already
Still think it looks great and suits the shape of the Discovery very well 8)"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

Only 300 miles in but it doesn't look good. Valeter is coming Friday before we head off to France. knows what it'll look like when we get back.....
I know what you mean about the mudflaps but I don't really like the look of them....D4 Fuji White HSE with Black Pack, TV, RSE, Tow Pack, Side Steps & Heated Steering Wheel

If you don't like side-steps,and think tree sliders are a bit overkill for your needs...try these..
..satin black too 8) ....and they will only fit with modified series 111 mudflaps.....which are better anyway for keeping the bodywork clean... "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...
