Contrast Roof Color- how many considering it?

With the bit that protects the fender and wraps around the wheel well?

Ah, I see now. I think it was an option.

I saw it in a photo of someone else’s build photo. Pretty cool setup But I don’t think it’s made it to production.

I think Dave has that set up as in bars and side rails...that bar looks a little more straight up and down...in other shots it seems to be leaning back a little more...happy motoring

Just checked. Yes offered as option 'side protection rails'

I think having that extra protection could be useful, but I’ve never seen something like that in person.

Quite common in OZ because of the Roos...they can't jump backward but can easily shift direction left and right..they end up in a lot of cases sliding down the side of your vehicle and this can stop a lot of damage...

White roof (on darker colours) simultaneously reduces perceived height of the Grenadier whilst highlighting the grab rails and safari windows

Australia deals with some things we certainly don’t here in North America. I mean, jeeze, just living upside down must be a nightmare In itself.

Indeed. AKA Scrub- or Brush bars, redirect vegetation away from the fender/A-Pillar and reinforce the bull bar (in some cases, less so here obviously)

Boomer bars make the "Feral Thumper" bar setup aka "Mad Max"

Yes, configurable and orderable on the Australian website. Not available in UK/EU, not sure if it will be available in US spec.

 

[Krabby]

If I were a gambling man, I’d bet against the bull bar at all, let alone side protection.

Pretty sure those style bars with the forward facing posts are now illegal. But there are modified versions still available from the likes of Tuff.

Choosing colours was the hardest part.... especially since no dealer had colour samples yet.

I had my Off-Road test drive (only passenger) in a green car with white roof. At that time I thought this was a bit to far, being the classic Defender colours.
But over time, the combination grew on me. And the Grenadier was mend to be the real new Defender (yes, I have test driven the new LR and no, it will not replace my TD4)

So that's how I ordered it : Green with white roof.
Well..... kind of.

I ordered mine in full green. 1200 € to get a white roof ?
(funny, on my old LR 110, I had to pay extra to get the roof in body colour)

I will have the roof wrapped professionally in white foil for a fraction of the price, and if I don't like it....

 

[Krabby]

Even if it cost you €1,200 for the wrap, it would still allow you the opportunity change your mind.

You mean for the US market?

 

[Krabby]

You mean for the US market?

Yes, for the North American market.

I love the light blue with the white roof. Only issue is the cost. It's pretty expensive! Might do it anyway.

I would have picked shale if it weren't metallic. Really nice hue.
