Almost finished...

Well after several weeks in the garage getting stuff sorted it's almost there Smile

I'll be getting the RRS back on Saturday, but here are a few shots of the paintwork and the effect on the front end...


Front End, not that clear but I'll post more pics on Saturday or Sunday:

That makes sense on your car, you've got other areas of Java B lack detailing on the car but I don' think it would work
On Guyzer73's as his car doesn't have that and is predominantly Vesuvius Orange. But, only my opinion. It's all down to individual tastes Thumbs Up 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

Cheers Guys Smile

The door handles were and still are a topic of discussion. I made my decision based on photos I found and the fact if I leave them anthracite and don't like it I can change it next time the car goes in, which being a Land Rover wouldn't be long Laughing

First the chrome part of the side grille needs to be painted anthracite, then I'll see. Because with that also anthracite, there is an anthracite detail going from the headlights to the rear doors.

The problem with colour coding is it can become too much and the orange is a bold colour which could benefit from a bit of breaking up. Also, by colour coding the door handles the centre of the side grilles may look odd as the only differentiating colour... It's a fine line (no pun intended Wink )

The Sport has to go back in to get the door module replaced and a couple other things so maybe things will change then.

Cheers
