Operation Purenamic

No - already tried to replace the bumper valance and its a slightly different shape so annoyingly doesn't fit - you'd have to replace the whole bumper!

I've just been quoted £540 (estimated) for a repaint of the front and side grills and mirror caps in black by the LR dealer who I ordered my Pure SD4 from.

I wonder why they did not offer the black parts, I hadn't realised they repainted them.

Bu they do!.

Try contacting Dan at Duckworths. He will be able to help you with the black trim and he'll give you a discount if you mention BabyRR.

Thats expensive but LR have raised the para prices so most economical way to do it is replace the grill and have the side trim wrapped or painted by a local body shop.

Nick at Yeovil Land rover gives forum members 20% discount too

Had mine sprayed and it cost me €100. I delivered the parts to bodyshop and they were ready for collection the next day. He will do the rear tailgate trim for me for about €50 when I have time to disassemble it and remove it

That sounds a lot more like it!

If you do the rear tailgate trim could you please post some photos/instructions of the disassembly - I'm tempted to wrap mine but haven't got around to working out how to get it off the car. I don't want to wrap it while still on the car as there is always a risk of cutting into the surrounding paint with the knife as Itrim the wrap.

I noticed you wrapped your side vents how hard was it to take it out?
Must watch some Youtube Videos on how to Vynil Wrap.
was thinking of Wrapping the grill in Matt Black as I do not like the glossy black from they Dynamic.

But then all those holes would be a PITA to cut out I dunno.

The trim wasn't too difficult to remove. There is a video on youtube. You'll need a plastic trim tool and I'd recommend going as slow as you can because they can fly out.

The wrapping itself was very easy - take a look at my link and I think I put a list of what you need - just a few tools and a hairdryer.

I thought about wrapping the grill and while I do think it would be possible it would take a very long time because of the holes. If you really want it matt then I'd recommend looking into Plastidip which is like a spray on vinyl that is removable and comes in all sorts of finishes including matt black.
