I flatted the black plastic on mine and used some heat proof Matt black paint. No real need for it to be heat proof but thats all I had in the garageI need to sort mine out

I used this, expensive and messy but it’s the only stuff that looks good after time.

Advantage (at the moment) of Otto's unusual colour. The colour fading on the grille, etc has turned them to almost body colour parts!I need to sort mine out

Golden Girl still looking good 
She's going to the body shop in September. Elective surgery before she truly needs it. Bought her a few pressies for when she goes. We'll definitely be using the outside ones to stave off the bubbling. The inners we won't know until he starts work, but sooner have and not need, than need and not have.

Wow that's not good at only 7 years old. Any idea if this a model/year problem, or because a previous owner did something to cause it?
She'll look great when you get her back

Previous owner was JLR. Ex- management pool car. 3 yrs old & only 7 k on clock when I bought it off a main dealer. Apparently it’s a known problem caused by sunlight!

It will be mint when your done buddy. Glad to see another fellow L405 owner showing his Rangie some love. Mine is and always has been garaged so most likely explains her immaculate condition and the main reason i bought her. JLR pool vehicles do get ragged but they also get sorted out prior to disposal in to the trade. My mate is a exec @ AML and their pool cars get hammered ( so they should ) and then end up at a selected main dealer looking like new again. Same with any hire car. It don't belong to the individual driving it so they will indeed rag it. LOL.
