Sherlock, I am not sure about the lower grill/chcken mest bit & OAP side steps, however I do like the rest of it, plus it's sooooooo clean??? In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Still sporting a Supercharged badge sherlock  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

yes I still have it and might leave as there's a nasty scratch underneath it that would be exposed with the narrower TDV8 badge so incurring many deneros to respray the tailgate.

..... or at least thats my story  TDV8 HSE, Remap (+45 BHP + 100 Nm), Taylored sport exhaust system by Pipe Werx
20" HST alloys, Privacy glass, Side steps, Xenon Adaptive Lighting, Adaptive cruise control

Looks good boss, thinking of getting my plastics sprayed, like the back lights too!!

Good Work

Cheers slim. Go for it. TDV8 HSE, Remap (+45 BHP + 100 Nm), Taylored sport exhaust system by Pipe Werx

If this is what you want DO IT.
(if you do it my car will look diffrent than yours.......BETTER with nothing changed )

.......just joking. I don't like the RRS changed in millions ways and nothing is changed on mine. This is why I bought it as from the factory.

If you want to make that plastic black than make it .....if that is what makes you HAPPY. Before you do it ask some members to post some pics to see how is the paint after 2 - 3 years.

Also, if you plan to sell the car sometime in the future what do you think people will look for?! FOR CHANGES.

Don't be "greedy" and look for the best possible "painter" BECAUSE THIS IS YOUR CAR.

Hi Toni

Remember, you can have your car colour coded at the factory via SVO (Special Vehicle Opps).
As for ageing, Land Rover have been using Plastic painted parts for years without problem's, look at 10 year old Freelanders front wings.

As long as the parts are clean and primered properly, then all should be well.
Best £1k you will spend, no more back to black crap
