HI, well the good lady has conviced me to get the Rover painted. What you recon? Its had the front hst bumper fitted, front HST grill, Rear AB bumper with OVERFINCH exhaust tips, rear 2012 LED lights .

Im thinking all WHITE with black roof, A, B & C Pillars (which black tho?)

Black (santorini?) front bumper inserts with silver toe eye cover and the same for the rear. Like this (sorry if your not suppose to link )

What are your thoughts? Were on hol end of the month and thinking of getting it done then so we come back to a gleaming suprise. Mate owns a body shop who said will do it fo ££££ (bear money prices)

Hmm, what´s the going rate for a bear nowadays??

 As a rule, I always resist temptations,
unless they are irresistible.
My Ride: 2006 RRS HSE TVD6 Java Black/Cherry Woods with HST factoryfitted pack.

ha ha ha about a grand

personally if it was me I would go for something special while you have the chance, think white looks a bit Katie Price to me in a RRS these days but each to their own.

Frozen grey - like the M3's - they was a similar wrap on here the other day, looked really good.

Ivory - rather than white but may look dirty though........

A deep rich blue like Bali maybe


Or any Lambo colour!!!

Hi, yeah each to there own, just looking for ideas. Not feeling the grey, ivory looks dirty as you said and blue in our house is like burning a bible lol (scouser)

I would go vesuvius orange - RRS SC original colour imho

I'd get a DECENT wrap if it was me rather than a complete paint job.
Can be undone when you get bored of the new colour and you could also go for a more outlandish choice  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

+1 on the wrap. Never a good idea to change a cars paint colour IMHO. FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

+1
Also there's no need to inform the dvla as a wrap isn't permanent.

^^^^ Is this true though? Because on you log book it states dvla must be notified of any colour changes, a wrap is a colour change weather its permanent or not.

You're not alone. Sounds like the sort of thing one might see on "My big fat gypsy wedding"...  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I would also go fully white myself and then perhaps do the panels as wraps so when you decide it looks naff you can take them off...
