Meant to post last week but the car has been handed over! Unfortunately side steps are still on back order so no idea when we will get those fitted. Car is a dream, very happy with it.
A photo of old and new:
A (not that great) photo of the new car:

Yeah, thanks for the answer. I'm also 6 foot and the one option I didn't add on mine was the £900 black roof. I think it probably does look nice but I'd probably only see it on my tip toes so not worth the money
I toyed with the idea on the side steps but at the moment not planning to put anything on the roof so going without, can always add on a bit later if change my mind. The boot with the rear seats down will already be far bigger than anything I've had before. -

Looks lovely, I didn't want anything too dark as I'm not sure I have the time in my life to have both a wife and a black car with the demands both place on you
Obviously, this isn't black but I wonder how close you can get with a dark colour before it becomes a lot of work to keep it looking clean. Of course do love a good dark colour, just the maintenance that puts me off.
It looks like a much darker colour on their configurator than it looks in your photos though you've got a lot of sunlight in the photos which might be why it looks lighter than I was expecting.
Jealous, want mine as well

Awesome. I had a Sahkir Orange M5 in the past which I had a love / disappoint lets call it relationship with the colour. On a sunny day it really popped and I loved it. However on a dark and dull day it looked more red and while not bad, it didn't have the same impact at all. Obviously with this country and our clouds, there were more days that didn't do it justice than there was which did sadly.
Mostly had blue cars though more often than not but don't think there's a really nice blue and it's again a time for a non-blue colour for me. A non-saloon, non-blue car both at the same time. I might need someone to hold my hand when I pick it up I'm so far out of my comfort zone -

My 2019 build D5 was Carpathian Grey, coming from a carbon black BMW. CB was a gorgeous colour, but needed sunlight and to be clean. Carpathian was much easier, and still very special when clean and in the right light. When she spent Xmas and New Year in a dealer, and I had an Eiger Grey loaner, I realised that’s an easier colour in our climate. So that’s the colour of my current 2020 build car.
Side steps - auto access height is useful in the disco. But I actually prefer it in normal height, passengers didn't so was forever changing that setting. A 65% off offer from my local dealer persuaded me to fit deployable side steps a few months back. They are a nice bit of theatre and have made it so easy for my 4 year old to bound into the car, she couldn’t climb in easily before. Elderly relatives also find it much easier. Recommended if you carry either group
Yeah I only had a black car once and that was enough for me with that colour. I’ve also tended to avoid silver as I had company cars for around 10+ years. I could have any colour I wanted as long as it was silver…
Both colours look nice to be fair on your cars. I feel like the newer Charente Grey might be a half way house between the two colours but not seen these in person.
I’ve ordered a Lantau Bronze but it’s a gamble as never seen it in person. It looks nice in the press photos…
I’ve told my wife that the Discovery is a Yorkie car, only for men. She’s quite small and has no interest at all on cars didn’t come with me on a test drive. Side steps are expensive. I’ll get her a little child’s step or something instead -
