I am no expert, but thought may a quick sand with wet & dry sand paper then undercoat followed by color choice top coat.

I had some quotes for painting and they we're all more than double the cost of replacing the parts! And if you replace them you can always sell the ones you've removed!

Hi asim786,

We have a pure collecting next week!!! Got the grille, side vents and wing mirrors painted black for £300 and the roof painted black too for £400 - both incl VAT. Hope this helps....felt it was better to paint than to replace....let us know what u decided to do. Will post pictures next week when collecting it.

Zulu, it'd be nice to see some pics of what a Pure/Prestige body looks like with the black bits - look forward.

@berlin - here's something that might help

True wbessada, will have to find out how much LR Australia will charge. The 300% mark up may not mean it is cheaper

Thanks il give nick a call tomorrow, think the garage is closed today!

Spare part price for the grille is £150.00, 4 colours listed - black, dark atlas, brunel, atlas.

My grille in black from Nick at Yeovil land rover came to £80 + VAT so not sure why you got quoted £150
