Looking at the “wing” bodywork behind the headlights - sometimes it’s matte and sometimes it’s gloss. The orange one above is matte and the green one is gloss, and the line of them on the factory rack are mixed. Is there any rhyme or reason why it would be gloss or matte? All of the main bodywork in the photos is gloss…

All I know is that this part (Engine Cowl?) can be specified in the configurator to be either matte or gloss. Definitely not my taste to mix matte and gloss of the same colour. It could be that these "mixed" variants are dealer demo cars - I remember reading somewhere that the dealers had not a lot to say when it comes to the specification of the cars...

I think it’s just the customers spec. The Oakmere demonstrator has a Matt finish cowl but the rest of the car is gloss. Wouldn’t be my choice.

I still have mixed feelings about the luggage rack, reminds me if some sci-fi exoskeleton and (for me) is a bit too angular against the lovely curved bodywork ?


agree... really ugly

Can you imagine a Porsche Speedster with sheet metal luggage racks? Some design engineer would go on trial.

And as far as I can see, when they got to the panniers the designer must have referred to "The Brand New Monty Python Papperbok":

The rack comes off with two bolts.

Easy really.

You put it on when you need it and take it off when you don’t. Amazing.
