Really pleased with car so far. Impressed by handling for a big car. Excuse the puny winter wheels!

Hi Bob, some nice arty pics there.  Looks like you've settled in to the car already.

LEDs not an option unfortunately but agree, would have gone for them. I think it's only the X5M that has them

Hopefully Mogs will not notice the wheels !

Looks lovely inside, as stated before personally I would expect a bit more exterior differential for the outside other than just wing mirrors!

Cracking engine and box though

Enjoy in good health

Now if it was me.  The car would be de-badged and wing mirror caps colour coded as I love the sheep in wolves clothing approach.  It might not look too different but by f___ anyone trying their luck off the lights would get a shock and a half!  :xmastongue:

Or CF covered ;-)

I am not a fan of de-badging.  The ICF always left a calling card, so why not?
(cue sounds of Googling amongst those <45, or not from the S.East). 
Tee hee.

Looks great! Adaptive drive must be awesome to have - best of both worlds. Enjoy!

I rather like the mirrors actually. The badges I'd be happy without- looks like I've gone mad in halfords...
Grunt is awesome especially as still can't take it over 3500 revs- scary performance once it's run in properly I reckon

I think you will find you are getting the bulk of the performance up to 3.5k anyway being a TD. There will be some more to come but not as much as you probably think!
