FL Real World Standard Equipment

Featured Replies

Given the discrepancies between the SUK Configurator, website info and FL brochure, is there a market for a thread where people could post what their delivered FL Yetis actually have as standard equipment.

For instance, on an L&K the configurator/website doesn't list the heated windscreen as standard.

Just a thought.

  • No, you have to renew the acetylene occasionally. Fred

  • Hope that helps but I should say that in real life the inserts actually look better than the photographs, being a light metallic bronze colour rather than the drab brown shown in the configurator

I did ask SUK via their facebook page why the configurator and brochure did not match for the Octy III, they denied this was the case but still two brochures further down the line there is still no mention of the RRP for the 4x4 for example :giggle:

 

Can I have a job proof reading SUK, who ever does it now needs reassigning to less taxing duties :rofl:

I spotted 2 or 3 errors in the brochure when I went to sign for the vRS.  Pointed them out to the sales guy and he had to phone SUK to clarify them.

 

Might still have the brochure somewhere with my comments.

Hi, I'm looking at getting a Yeti but do F/L come with auto lights?

That's about par for the Yeti course, SavageJess  :giggle:   Are you sure you could cope with it?

What colour dash inserts are the UK outdoor elegances coming with?

According to the configurator this

Oh dear... :(

I've specced mine with the L&K wood inserts.

I hope it looks better than that.

That awful colour for the dash inserts is why I also specced the Boreal wood inserts on my FL Elegance. I don't particularly like the Boreal inserts either but anything is better than that! I would have been quite happy with the silver inserts like I've got on my current SE.   

Yes I realise what's illustrated on the configurator. The thread's about what they actually turning up with.

That was the idea I had for the thread.

 

 

Perhaps SAVAGEJESS could get a reasonable reply from a FL owner for their question posed above....?

I have sent you a PM re silver inserts.

It does...

Are the UK Elegances coming with diamond cut Anapurnas with black insets or painted silver all over?

My  (2011) Annapurnas although looking silver from a distance are in fact diamond cut/silver, I'm expecting the 'white worm' to arrive any time now as my warranty expires - when it does I'll get them powder coated dark silver I reckon?

 

Can't recall ever seeing all painted Annapurnas, TBH

 

HTH :thumbup:

I've recently taken delivery of an FL Elegance with Annapurnas - they don't have the black inserts being silver all over. Shame all the press cars for the FL showed the black inserts which I would have been happier with! Suppose I will have to get them powder coated some time...

The dash inserts in my SE outdoor are now a brush aluminium,   not plain silver as the pre FL was looks better.

 

Found one thing thats changed, the wipers can now be lifted off the screen in the rest position without hitting the bonnet.

That's interesting.  So they're not the murky brown/green colour shown on the configurator?  Brushed aluminium sounds fine to me - probably not necessary to specify the Boreal wood, then.  Any chance of a photo if you have time?

Actually, the new brochure shows them as looking rather different from the configurator, too.  And the 'Standard Elegance' pictures on P26/7 shows the Boreal inserts!

If you want to swap your dash inserts to L&K black ones you need

 

5L2 858 418 LN77 (long one)

5L2 858 417 FN77 (short one to right of steering column)

 

You're looking at £120 for the pair.

I do not think my "STANDARD" FL Elegance looks quite that bad.

 

I will try and do a photograph later when the light improves

Thanks, Andy - that would be incredibly helpful.  I have an Elegance on order and I'm trying to decide whether to opt for the Boreal inserts or not.  The configurator makes it look awful, but I'm hoping it's better than that!

Agreed, really keen to see it. I've kind of resigned myself to just getting the L&K ones, so it would be nice to see if I'm just being pessimistic.
