Typical "Black Pack" config???
I'm intending to look at a D4 this weekend and the seller has it listed as having a black pack as standard.
Apart from it having a black insert in the grill, I don't believe it has the full and usual attributes associated with the standard fit black pack, in fact, I think he's either misled, plainly wrong or telling pork pies.
So the question is, what would be the minimum I would expect to see on a black packed spec'd car?

Distinctive new Black Design Packs create a striking new modern look for the Discovery 4 which complement the metallic paint finishes of the car. Available with either 19" 7-Split Spoke or 20" 5-Spoke all-black painted wheels, the optional Black Design Packs include:

I don't think LR always got the Black Pack right themselves. IIRC, I've read posts here about people having various bits and bobs that should have been black retrofitted by the dealer.
I'd expect black lettering for sure. I can't remember if door handles were included or not.2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

Yes as per Beanies list, plus wheels. I have 2013 with black pack, your welcome to come and have a look?
Mine was also a mis build when new, and took GS a few weeks to sort out. Black letters and grill were missing.

Surprisingly the badges will be green, they’re easily changed. The door handles are a nice touch in the gloss black.
