Yeah! Thanks.

 

The Octa is so f***ing sexy! I would love to own one.

 

Anyone expecting to take delivery in this month? My "regular" Octa is scheduled in March

 

Spoke to my salesman last week - scheduled delivery is March 23rd but he said its likely it will arrive on the 11th. Mine will be the first to arrive from the 4 allocated and ordered at my dealership. Counting down the days.

 

Seems like your build and mine will be twins. Mine is also Charente Grey with Burnt Sienna.
The only option I have is tow hitch receiver.

 

Same option! I dont tow anything but have a Thule bike rack.

What wheels did you go for? I went with the full gloss black 22's - i'll look into the 20's and the Duratrac RT's further down the line when my bank account has recovered....

The only aftermarket changes will be full Stek Dynoshield PPF and im having the brake calipers powder coated Phosphor Bronze with the Brembo and Octa graphics added (to match the Edition One).

 

Same here with 22' gloss black. I have no plan to change out the wheels though as I don't think I'd take it offroad.

Umm, that powder coat on calipers didn't come to my mind but that will be a very nice touch... you got me thinking...

 

I definitely wont be taking on any serious off roading but living in New York State the winters get brutal and decent winter tires are always needed...

The calipers sprang to mind when I did the build with my salesman and he told me the bronze calipers are only available on the Edition One - and I wasnt prepared to pay the extra 15K just for that (not too fussed about the chopped carbon seats).

Will send photos when its complete.

 

Not gonna lie about the uniqueness on chopped carbon seats and we had that trim in our 24 RRS (not on seats) but we looked pass that very quick. Burnt Sienna is a must have though. So even I was offered an Edition One, I might still go with a regular Octa. Have you seen Charente Grey on a Defender? I'm afraid it would be too blueish and not as dark as the one from configurator.

 

My dealer holding to Jan 10 build and Mar 14 delivery. It seems LR has a dedicated run for the OCTA (IMO). I went for the Charente grey sight unseen, just wasn’t that keen on the carbon. It’s on my Merc and I haven’t given it a thought one week after purchase. Also decided to go third party for PPF and ceramic. I did look at the manufacturers PPF on a showroom car and it seemed good, for a $90,000 car. I’m paying considerably more. I did go with the 20” Duratracs and tow package.
