They suit the car well.....just about to get new(to me) wheels, but only Land Rover Alloys. I see you have my problem of the badge issue. Mine were picked off outside the place where i practice but, as i am about to have it resprayed i have had to peel the rest of them off otherwise it looked like i wasn't bothered.

yeh please upload so i can see,i was thinkinh about buying the modern grill what you thing?do i have to take the lights out to get the pieces out underneath?
dont take lights out, just mask up very well, spend 3 times more masking than spraying!!!
only one i have is this but you can certainly see the finnish is very good and worth doing if yer selling too!! use baby oil to polish rest of plastics
this is the spray i used:
Decorative spray paints from Plasti-kote, the market leading spray paint

which grill this one below?? Could do, looks good as well but quite expensive i imagine!?
The strips are an instant enhancement and really change the look. We've found we dont even need to re-treat the dullness of the black plastic grill with em on. I'll take a picture when i get home (if its not pitch black!) and post it.

yes something like that they are around £150,like the look of gavs though in black,not sure if the black will suit the silver car though
you can spray it then just scrape it off if you dont like it. i reckon it'll smarten it up to how it used to be, afterall they didnt come with faded plastics!!! also its about 3.50 a tin, one is planty, and you can always change to the silver one if you dont like it!

yeh may do it,would you recommend,halfords matt or satin black?or the stuff you use?where do you get your stuff from?
lets say mines aquired from a source that i vist everyday for 8 or more hours!!!
i'm sure you can get it at b n q.
the halfrauds or any car paint should do but will obviously be more permanent. i used that stuff just because i could get it free.
paint isnt expensive so mebbe try on the back of the grill or the bit that goes on slam panel???
apply light coats, dont try to cover the lot in one go. took me a while to build up the paint, especially all the nooks.

Yeah first thing i did was spray my grill black looks much better. than the faded plastic. How do you get little strips out from under the lights??
Looks nice the way your wheels fit under the arches i had mine lowered a few inches to make it sit nice in accses mode. is yours standard??
