changing grill etc to black by dealer - carneil3 - 03-04-2013 01:40pm
hi all, new here and due to pick up the new addition , got a question, could i have asked my landrover dealer to change my atlas grey trim to the black trim.He told me it was not possible and i would have to put them on after i get the car at an extra cost or spray the parts, just wandering if anyone has got these changed by the dealer at no extra cost or a slight cost, parts are around 650 quit before fitting?????
cheers,

All depends on the deal you got on the car. Did you get a discount or other freebies thrown in?
The grill itself is about £120. Probably cheapest to have that sprayed and vinyl wrap the side vents and rear tailgate trim.

Why not just buy a Dynamic's grille from the dealer's parts dept or from Dan@Duckworths, save a lot of hassle with painting. Same with the side vents, they are only trim and not functional. The dealer missed a trick by saying you couldn't do it as I'm sure they would make a tidy profit from supplying the car with the extra black bits, and you can always sell on the Atlas bits here or on a well known auction website

Asked my dealer to add black grill, side vents, mirror caps and tailgate bar all done prior to collection for £400.

If you're buying a car at this time you should be getting about 5% off - if not you should cancel your order and place another one - lead times are much better now and discounts are very achievable!

On my Pure Tech that came with the Brunel grill I was going to get a Black Dynamic grill from the dealer but ended up getting one from a fellow member on this forum cheaper. I took that to the dealer & fitted it myself with a little assistance from the guy in the parts department. I then sold the Brunel grill to another member on here so all worked out well.
As in another thread I wanted other body parts custom coloured & my dealer organized it for me & at a very good price too!!
