Perfect. That's the same combo I have on order - good to see it close up (can't tell much from the LR website)
Thank you for the reply and photo!

The dealer called yesterday to let me know that my MY22 110 X-Dynamic HSE arrived!
I’m going to pick it up on Friday, but I asked him to verify that some of my requested options were actually included, such as the Clear Sight mirror, larger screen, and a few other items after I saw a couple of forum posts where the orders weren’t completed correctly when MY21 orders were pushed to MY22. He confirmed that they were, and that the front undershield and mudflaps I ordered were already installed.
So here’s my timeline:- Feb 15: Made deposit on MY21- Mar 20: Signed Build Order for updated MY22
- Apr 14: Final amendment date
- May 13: Actual build date (received VIN on May 17)
- Jun 3: Notified that vehicle was on ship (Tugela)
- Jun 7: Arrived at Port of Baltimore and offloaded
- Jun 14: Arrived at dealership
The Order Details sheet listed 7/2 as the Delivery Date so it was earlier than expected, but it looks like 4 months is pretty typical at this time from other recent posts I’ve seen.
Just glad it’s finally here but sad that I have to wait 3 more whole days to get it! 😐

Were mud flaps port or dealer install? Curious what you paid for them?
I paid $350 for the classic mudflaps (it’s the ‘Exterior Protection Pack’).
When I asked the sales rep if the mudflaps and undershield were installed at the port, he answered that “the car does have mud flaps/ undershield” so I assume that means they were installed already when it arrived at the dealership.
