Full Supercharger grills (the sides are already fitted and can be seen in the photos) as I prefer these to the dark gunmetal standard items, silver side bars (pipes not steps) and yes, the ubiquitous tint all around (very light - the lightest you can get... don't want to look too gangsta' <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/woohoo.gif" alt="" /> )
And yes, I will be begging for your assitance in the very near future to give them both a nice winter coat!

... although I hope one of the extras you're having fitted is privacy glass - I think that would really add to the look of the car.
Ben Are you really doubting "da gansta rapper" would tint his new wheels? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/somestick.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/woohoo.gif" alt="" />

[quote]It's pouring rain, miserable but I stood under cover and took this picture... see, it looks like an a-typical black Range Rover <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
The wheels are the new 20", which is the first time they've been able to fit 20"s on the diesel without it causing too much vibration through the steering wheel.
One very interesting aspect of buying this car - and a good one as well as a smart/wise move on Land Rovers part, is that they are CO2 Offsetting the environmental aspect of the build process and the first 45,000 miles of vehicle use. Basically on my invoice was a charge for

fitting for a morgan forum as there is something quintessentially english about the range rover in my opinion. The interior is very special and the use of wood and leather reminds me of a gentlemans smoking club <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/santacheers.gif" alt="" />
a good choice as a daily use vehicle, i just wouldn't want to have to clean it <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Supercharged RR 0-60 7.1, Touareg V10 0-62 7.8. Diesel in Spain ~70p. May not have as much street cred, but VW gets my vote. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" />
New joints for old!

Touareg V10 Diesel is a cracking choice but for me, like the Cayenne and Q7, I'm not a massive fan of their looks.
The final straw is the interior - which to me is a-typically German teutonic, dull and functional design; after 5 BMWs in a row (including 2 X5s), I wanted to drive something that felt special inside and for me, the RR does this very well.
The exterior design is typical LR boxy aesthetics - strong and masculine but hardly inspiring - however, the interior is one of the nicest places to sit imho.
And the engine may not have as much torque as the VW V10 but its no slouch <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
