Carstyling do them in various styles from colour coded through to full chrome
http://www.carstylingstudio.com/shop/catal...7993a33d20

The popular ones are with the surround in body colour and the mesh and fins in Zambesi/Zermatt, the chromed one are a horrendous price and a bit too bling

This thread refers to them and there is also a stickied thread by Jaymann about how to fit them without using the dealer http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic4675.html.

Happychap, I hate anything "bling," but have installed a set of the colour-coded Carstylingstudio (Java/Silver) vents and they look absolutely great. Indeed, they replaced a set of Supercharged vents which are nice and still look much much better.

With regard front grille, you cant beat the Supercharged for style which does look better than the standard HSE or the various colour-coded options. Dont even think about chromed!!!!

Removing old ones can be tricky, especially if you want do so without breaking the internal clips. Follow Jay's instructions very carefully. Good Luck!!

PS- Why not give your local bumper bumper-scuff repair man a call (Chipsaway, etc)? He can probably pop-out the two existing vents and colour-code for a lot less than Carstylingstudio? Could be a cheaper and quicker option! Thumbs Up MY12 SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ebony/Piano/Sidesteps/Privacy/Overfinch Olympus/JLR DRLs

Portugal 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black

Guys, I’ve been thinking about colour coded vents, grills and handles. (java black)

I’m pretty sure about the vents, although if I’m doing the vents, I should also do the front grill… but not sure if between the supercharged or color coded (maybe these are too much bling Neutral )… Damn… this things are complicated! Rolling Eyes Laughing

Besides these questions of personal taste, I’m curious to know if these paint jobs are long lasting or not. I mean… do I take the risk of having my grill peeling because of mosquitoes, stones, etc?
And the door handles, does any one have experience with those? Do they resist the normal door use?

Smudge, come on quickly with those photos! Very Happy

I don't want to dampen things but coloured front grilles don't look right on the RRS, the local dealer has had a fully colour coded Java on the showroom floor and recently had to take the Java front grille off and change it for an S/C grille, it sold immediately after sitting there for months. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Excellent! Very Happy

Did you had it made at your dealer, or elsewhere?

About the door handles, some one told me that I should go for the Disco handles, as they are already black, insted of painting them.
