Isn't Santorini Black, black with a brown flip  or dark chocolate as I read somewhere 
Post some photos 2009GS as soon as you can If you are annoying me, just remember it takes 42 muscles for me to frown and only 4 to extend my middle finger, and I'm lazy so don't be offended.

Sorry Simon, my mistake 
Perhaps Santorini Black is the new Buckingham Black  If you are annoying me, just remember it takes 42 muscles for me to frown and only 4 to extend my middle finger, and I'm lazy so don't be offended.

Welcome to the forum
No - I think colour codes look bollo  on D3!! But why refuse new 09 car when presented with it??
Anyway, I'm guessing/hoping that black will not show up the fact it's totally colour co-ordinated. I liked the contrast on the current/old car - silver with grey moulds. Looked like it was fit for purpose (even if it is/was a 5 seat without all the proper D3 stuff!). Suspect colour codes is gonna look a bit poncy!?
REALLY looking forward to having a disco with proper suspension/kit!!
gonna transfer my HSE 19" wheels over!!
Promise pictures tomorrow night!! Any particular angles/close-up requests??
DS Very confused! TT convertible (black) and a 2009 D3 GS (black)...at least I know what colour I like!!

Hmmm. What do I need to look for tomorrow to ensure I am indeed getting an 09 car? Clear side lenses, re-modelled front bumper, colour colded tail-gate lift etc?
Also - heard the new GS comes as standard with rear parking sensors??
Advice much appreciated.

DG,
Sorry, I've misled you. I currently have an 05 5 seat that I am trading against a 7 seat 09 D3my 09 GS.
BTW - what does "my" mean??
So could this be genuine? Quote from delaer:
"Discovery 3 GS 2009 my Santorini Black supplied with tow bar and electrics.
On road price £30,930.00"

Hi all,
I'd like to say - I'm a disco-driver
Finally, after 6 month of doubts and argues - I have bought this car.
I'm from Russia, we have LR-club there but we are too young - about 6 month old. I'm joined to your club to search useful info, to ask and answer questions ))) Your club is very big - hope I will have a fun to be here. If somebody help me to get familiar with LOT of topics - I would appreciate.
Disco3 - forever )
