Painting black plastic trim in body colour on a Prestige Evoque

Only primed so will need spraying, but a local body shop has quoted me £300 to spray and fit the sides, front and rear bumpers.

For me personally, that lower trim will make a huge difference - I was always incredibly torn between prestige interior and dynamic exterior.

Hi, any chance you could post the part numbers for the sides if you have them handy? Have you bought the dynamic bumpers too or painting the current ones?

I might up ring up and ask a couple of body shops how much it'll cost. Does anyone know of any good body shops in Central, NW London?

Thanks

I can point you in the direction of a good bodyshop/detailer in London - I'll PM you.

Just had my prestige serviced at Lancaster Reading
Enquired about fitting the dynamic rear bumper and tail pipes
They told me it can't be done.
Which I know is a load of crap
What is needed as I will order from Duckworths

Here is the list - don't know if it s complete or not as I already the real thing........

The colour coded side trims is a mod I have been thinking about going for some time now. My only concern is that would it look unbalanced due to the prestige/pure bumpers not having the same line of colour codeing (that is if your not having the black plastic sprayed on the bumpers).
If anyone as already fitted the trims, could you post a picture please.

I am having mine fully colour coded before taking delivery. The car is in the dealers showroom unregistered but is going to their recommended body shop on Monday to get the full treatment. As it happens the owner of the paint shop is a major Land Rover enthusiast and friend of mine. They already colour coded my RR Sport and did an amazing job. I can't wait to see how they transform my wife's new Fuji RRE 5 door Pure. I'll post some pics

Please add some pictures when finished.
I'd love to see the black parts also on my evoque, thinking about getting him done from the moment it arrives.
Do you also have the black RR logo on the bonnet or are they still silver?

I think something has been lost in translation. Your dealer says it can't be done.

It has already been said on this forum that others have done this. What the dealer might be implying is that the Dynamic has some different mouldings and to fit these to a Prestige or Pure will require some degree of modification either to the Dynamic parts or the Prestige/Pure body work.

Not impossible but maybe a little bit fiddly.
