Anyone painted your dynamic black bits on the wheel arches? - Lone Rangerover - 15-07-2012 01:58am
Would love to see some pics, --preferably orkney grey but other colors would be neat to see also.
I am considering painting mine but am hesitant. Pictures are much appreciated

I think you'll do well to get the paint to adhere to them...

Could them wrapped...probably wouldn't cost much.

Hmmmm .... I never thought of that. I wonder if the arches would have to be removed to wrap, and how close the wrap material would be in color to the Land Rover Orkney Grey.

Problem with any colour other than black is that it will stand out so easily

Don't think about doing it to a Fuji White Evoque, it looks awful!

I was parked in a car park today and some idiot chinese arrive in a battered Civic and opened the door, bang into the wheel arch surround which is now dented.
It's bad enough they did it - and better the door didn't hit metal - but it doesn't say much for the wheel arch surround which is clearly made of very soft and easily deformable plastic. It's one of the quality worries I have with the RRE, that the external plastics are just not good enough.
I tried to get them to pay £50, we settled on £20 and am waiting for the parts database to come back online to find out a part no and cost. I expect they can easily be removed and replaced.

The good news is that they're cheap parts but you're right that they are ridculously easy to mark!
