Prestige Sport ....... debut - Blackseries - 04-12-2011 01:15pm
[attachment=820][attachment=821][attachment=822]As some of you may know I originally wanted to order a Dynamic with a full ivory interior – what I consider a classic Range Rover configuration - however it soon became apparent (March 2011) that that wasn’t going to be possible from the factory and the search started to see how best to achieve my goal. As we have seen SW6RR added the full Dynamic body kit to his Prestige to create the world’s first documented Presnamic Evoque. Well I too may go down that route eventually but as I hope to do a bit of Green laning I'd prefer to maintain the Prestige’s slightly better ground clearance for now so I thought I would try another approach and add “essence” of Dynamic to my Prestige. It’s quite subtle (I think so anyway) as my base colour is Black. As I’ve colour coded all the existing trim parts the wheel arch trims have also been colour coded which in this instance helps give a factory look (IMO). The costs came in at just over a third of the cost of all the Dynamic parts supplied, colour coded and fitted. Work was carried out by ex- Aston Martin/ Audi paintshop guys and my LR dealer thought both the paint and the Aluminium finish was exceptional ... so all in all I’m over the moon.... and I’ve finally got the car I wanted all along.

Looks great Blackseries (but I would say that
)...you did get yours before me in the end
I'd love to see a standard black Prestige alongside yours, just to see the differences.

Congrats and well done. Looks fantastic. Classy with a hint of sportiness. Enjoy driving it

Yes...I am liking that Bs. The rear without the grey looks much better.
Will have to look at doing this on mine. Would LR do this or should I look to get someone else locally?

Thanks, yes I think I would fit mudguards if there was some easy way of fixing and un-fixing them. My concern is they would be the first things to snag when offroading .... and they would probably take half the wheel arch liner with them.

The Aluminium look is quite specialist. I was lucky my guys had done similar work at Aston Martin. The LR bodyshop were going to use silver paint (not great). The Aluminium look I've got matches the grill, side vents and door trim.
Since people have seen mine 2 other Prestige’s have been booked in for similar treatment.

That looks very smart, well done.

The car looks good, I think with it being black it carries it well. My one is Fuji white pure and thought about colour coding but I think the white would be to much.
Hopefully land rover will introduce an exterior pack for future MYs.

I think you are right ..... with a White Evoque I think the Presnamic route is the way to go.
BTW Saw my first Audi Q3 yesterday. It was a White car which was colour coded (which is a factory option) .....it looked awful .... not a good look
oh .......and it looked tiny.
