I think that flash of red along the roofline is going to look great but YMMV.

Edit: Be careful of specifying Pimento on the inside and Firenze on the outside. To my eyes, they clash horribly but, again, YMMV. Be sure to hold a Pimento leather sample up against a Firenze paint sample or, even better, see a car in the metal. Mark

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

I agree with RRSMan, at least going down the wrap route you can remove it or even change it to something weird if you fancy! Firenze with a White or even a Union Flag? The only thing with wrapping is you have to pay for the whole roof to be done even with a panoramic glass roof, they still have to supply the sheet then cut a huge hole in it! Also not sure of the longevity of the glue along edges exposed to wind/ car washing. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

As I said - it all depends on where you go to have the wrap done. There are many cowboy firms willing to do the job for £80 and some charge up to £700 for the roof! Mine has been on since 2nd March and is as it was on day one - perfecto

The car lives outside too in the driveway not in a garage...

Good advice mark, i didn't go for the pimento before in the sport or the evoque (both firenze) as there was always too much red in the schemes and it looked odd with a red exterior too IMO. the ebony/lunar/pimento is the first one I've seen that has just had accent pieces in red and is not as bold as the others.

all this talk of red interiors is of course null and void if i decide that an SVR is worth the almost certain divorce that would follow its arrival

as the red is too much for me in that one.

I doubt any decisions will be made today but i will be pushing for a discount and discussing trade in for a new one.

its kind of growing on me though

I agree that limited user of red might well be fine.

Drove my SVR for the first time in 6 weeks today. What a car! Mark

Well its here. I kinda like it. Which is just as well as the roof is the only thing i can see from my office window.

I will post some better pictures tomorrow.

They discounted the car by £500 [which is what the roof costs on a non autobiography]and threw in a rubber boot mat and reduced some more accessories for me.
