Many thanks Nick! - Indeed Eiger Grey IMHO - Dare I say I like it alot! - although I suspect when the direct sun light or bright lights under fluorescents means it could look a bit silverish?....I'm a Corris fan - but quite like the fact JLR said it's been over sold now & I get something a little different for my money...PS I brought I nice polar white with black pack GLC & the wife decided to wrap it Matte Grey! :lol:
At least you won't have to look at pictures much longer! :D

I needed to stop looking... I changed my order with my dealer today and added the black pack :lol: The sliver bit at the back was just nagging at me.
G'day,

Still a wait for me apparently JLR hold the cars until about a week before handover - my actual eyes on will be 24th Augt - its going to be a 6 and a bit weeks! :lol:
Good decision on the black pack - it was also one main bug bear!

Is this the new Eiger Grey?

This shade of grey, just a shame LR don't offer it, would look great with black pack.
Agree it would look great. Mind you, it seems to be the new trendy grey (with varying shades) for nearly all manufacturers right now... even Skoda !

I think that's Silicon too, as it seems to have a goldish tint?

This is definitely Eiger Grey with the Black Pack...

Looking forward to the pics in 3 weeks time :D

I think your wife is right about it looking silverish. Below is a close up of an eiger grey standard velar...

I think the black wheels will really add to it! I like the Eiger grey!

I know what you mean. I go to do the paperwork on mine in two weeks before collection the week after. Not sure if I want a sneak preview of it or not! :)

Nice!

Can't you get those wheels gloss back from factory? I'm sure I remember seeing that as an option?
G'day,
When I ordered 30th March their was no option - hence why I'm going this route....be honest the whole build your Velar on-line was a kerfuffle to say the least...so was the whole Corris to Eiger Grey thing...(another story) - the only good thing(I think) was the sign up now for ÂŁ..... Discount(count the dots!), so I'm hoping my once in a lifetime 2nd biggest purchase (so far) gives me all the delights it should! :D
 
Just noticed that LR website now has a range of new "ultra metallic" paint colours available from autumn 2019 in both gloss and satin finishes. This also includes a totally "in your face" Madagascar orange.

They've also done away with the options pricing so you've no idea how much each little extra tick is costing you!

Thanks for posting up the video Kangaman, looks really really good! It's given me piece of mind :)

Think you're doing the right thing waiting until everything is how you want you it before you see it in the flash, I presume from the sign in the window you have i booked in for a ceramic treatment?
