“worse parked the other way around” is not something I really want to contemplate... Shocked

Little wonder they’ve reversed it into the parking space and buried the back end in a hedge! I hope it doesn’t turn the leaves brown Rolling Eyes

How .... original.

FWIW, I think the people designing D5 need to lay off their hookahs. The mods they seem to introduce make the Pontiac Aztec from 2002 look stunning (having “won” the dubious worst looking car of the year award after all). Whistle

Love the matte paintwork and the wheel\tyre combo 8) ...not so keen on the orange.

Your post is wasted on the club waving cavemen here Evo5man Wink

I’ll come that much out of the cave to admit I do like the unified/similar front LR has on their vehicles. Thumbs Up

Funny how things change. Previously, matte could be found on cars that one painted with a spray can in your backyard. Now matte is associated with the high-high end. Whistle

Think I could live with the side vents and wheel etching ..it's the front sections that I'd dull down a bit.

Fancy the led light units on the roof ...though the led headlights are already powerful so it would be interesting to see if they add anything lightwise.

Because the LR badge is offset to the right?
