2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Santorini Black

2012 SDV6 - black on black

Hi guys, new owner from Scotland here. I've had the car for 2 months now and loving it.
Thought I'd share a few pics here.

First day after collection. Onyx wheels and Autobiography kit.

Decided to get a few pieces wrapped in matte black.

In for paint correction and de-badge.

...and the finished product.

...and a few from The Scottish Car Show.

Looking for some sidesteps next and headlight/taillight tint. If anyone could advise me on sidesteps that would be much appreciated.
Thanks for looking guys. All comments welcome.

Thanks mate. I got the car wrapped at Platinum Polish in Glasgow. Well it's a spray wrap (plasti-dip) but i wouldn't recommend it. It feels quite soft and fragile and not much has survived after my detail. It took me a day to get rid of all the overspray too! Will be taking the parts off to get painted now. Monster Unit

Yeah they are still there mate but the wrapper thought it would be a good idea to wrap them too lol.

Car looks nice , but is the rear strip wrapped still?
For me, I like mine being silver, it differentiates the car slightly from the earlier models, with it wrapped, you blend into all the others

Re your car details in your profile, you should change it to a 2012 car as although it was made in 2011, it's a model year 2012 car (will help people if you have any questions ) 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

Thanks Bean. Couldn't agree with you more. The strip was wrapped but it is now off. I prefer the silver too.
Thanks for the heads up, edited.

Thanks mate. It's ebony leather with wood trim (wrapped in matte black now). Plan is to get the pillars and headlining done in black alcantara soon too. Will get some pics up later. Monster Unit

2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 S Buckingham Blue

personally the side steps is for me what makes the car looks ugly much more fat and massive and I do not like them,the lines are better without them, more fluid.

Superb car!! I would like the same tdv6s 2.7 2007
