Ok so after looking at some videos, I realized that I have a brand new OCD related catastrophe to deal with, the likes of which usurps the black or blue tow loop conundrum by infinity times infinity ...

What kind of vehicle design madman doesn't match the rear calipers to the front ones?!!!
Are we really going to deprive me of sleep because you couln't spend $20 in paint cost for things to look correct?

I cant' even!

TLDR ... I'm hoping my dealer can procure some Xenon Blue caliper paint, otherwise I'm flying to the UK and breaking into the factory to steal some.

Who's with me?

I wish I could order a Carpathian Edition but they don’t appear in the Canadian MY2022 order guide and I can’t find out why!

Does anyone know if the rear door of the Carpathian edition is black or body color?

The rear door is body colour. The hood, roof and tailgate are all that are black.

Ok, I'm confused. I've ordered a Carpathian edition. My dealer told me Gloss black wheels are std on USA version and rear door is black too. I just checked on Land Rover site and it says same on site. I ordered the larger screen too. Am I missing something?

it’s just terminology - I read rear door as in the passenger door not the tailgate. There are pictures of it on Google if you’re uncertain.

Quick update ...

Dealer body shop is going to procure Xenon Blue caliper paint for the them to paint the rear ones before delivery.

Still undecided on whether I’ll have them paint the tow eyes at the same time.

Glad to hear! I'm still curious why they didn't paint the rear.

Did you get a build / delivery date yet?
