Hello do you have by any chance the color code of the xenon blue paint for the calipers?

It must have been Carpathian Edition delivery week here in New England. First pic was Thursday fresh off truck. I’ll take better ones today in daylight. A long wait but a blast to drive!

About 6 weeks away from start of production, just saw some 20” 5098s in the flesh with off road tires and decided that’s going to be a better look and more practical for occasional off road on my CE so I changed the order sheet. This is what I am going to lock in.

Aiming for delivery by June/July.

Looks great! Are you keeping the Signature Graphic panel on the rear windows? Those are coming off of mine as soon as possible. Blocks the rear seat visibility quite a bit!

Where in New England are you? I’m in CT and also have a CE D90.

Looks great! Congratulations. Is this a MY22 (blue callipers) or do all CE have the xenon paint vice black?

I’m in MA. I do like the look of the signature graphic but you’re correct it blocks rear passenger views completely. I rarely have rear seat passengers (other than the dog) so I plan to keep it.

Xenon calipers seem to have come on some MY22 (which mine is) but the last of production switched to all black. Mine was built 11/24, they must have switched to black very soon after and I haven’t heard of Xenon blue returning. I like the Xenon but others are thrilled they are switching all four calipers to black, personal preference. It’s an incredible vehicle and worth the wait IMO. Front row windows being tinted tomorrow.

that signature graphic is what is keeping me from flipping to a CE available near me at very close to msrp. I sat it in the back and it crushes the view.. The car is small already, which is fine, but the surprise of how big the back seat is gets really muffled by that graphic..
