      Pick up went very smoothly, 25 minutes and we were on our way.  A nice 80 mile journey home with me cursing how to turn off the bloody lane assist!!   Got there in the end.  A bit more road noise than the Kodiaq, but on 20″ tyres, and no doubt over inflated I expected that. First drive impressions were good, will do a proper review in a week or so. Have to say though, it’s at times like this that I knew more about photography, because the red of the car really doesn’t come out true with my camera. But it’s bloody lovely.

        That looks really nice. Those wheels are probably the nicest I’ve seen on an SUV  and the colour goes perfectly with the rest of the car, great choice. Might have to have a closer look at these!

            It was the wheels that made me go for the Sport over the FR.  I think it makes the car!!

                    I’m so pleased with the colour and as silly as it sounds, the wheels are better than I remembered from the showroom.

                    What have you got on order?

                        Looks amazing. Was looking at a Terraco Excellence myself but yours is on another level. Think it would bother me there’s better looking version out there that I can’t afford.

                          That’s one smart looking car Markymate. Looks great from all angles. I like the fact that it doesn’t have grey plastic side sills like most SUV’s seem to have, as I think they cheapen the look of a car. Hope that you enjoy getting to know the car over the coming days and weeks.

                                Cheers, file28. 45psi, you must have been bouncing down the road!!

                                Thanks everyone, the colour really suits the FR Sport, and the wheels are stunning, my favourite part of the exterior look.

                                Glos Guy. it was the colour coded body that made my go for the FR over the Excellence Lux. Had the plastic on the Kodiaq and it made it look a bit cheap, plus the amount of dirt that got in between the plastic and the paint work was a pain.

                                The only thing that let’s the exterior look down is the dark grey wing mirror covers, I just don’t get it!!  So I brought two and have sprayed them the same colour as the rest of the car. Just need to figure the best way to get the grey ones off!!
