Yep, like that Mick. Did you have all the pillars done? How did or look? Did you have them resprayed or covered? Current MY2020

They were just stick on ones that i bought from America , but the D pillar ones were not cut right so i took them off and the company sent me another set , just now i have still not opened them and they are lying in the garage …

Also like you i was thinking about getting all the door and pillar bits done but the paintshop guy said it could be a bit tricky and costly to do , also took it to a car wrapping place too , they also said the same …. probably because it wasn't their bag so to speak Thumbs Up ====================================

These seem very cheap at £55.00:

I am not sure about being able to fit to all models as there doesn't seem to be a keyhole.

Booked the car in to have the four door handles colour coded. They will be stripped down completely and resprayed. £100 inc Vat each.

This is at the same time as having the lower panels below the grills replaced and painted due to changing the front mud flaps to accommodate the AB side cills. £280 inc Vat.


Is it not cheaper to change the panels for new and have them painted?

Yep, that's what I'm having done Craig. I may ask them about having the pillars sprayed as well, but would like to see one done first. Current MY2020

Think it was also when the paintshop said that they would need to take the A and D pillars off to paint …. I thought if they don't put them back on right without the clips breaking could coz windscreen noise at speed ====================================

I've been saying to my son for the past 4 years "stop wasting your money on having your alloys painted, suspension lowered, tin can exhaust etc on your car" and here I am doing the same!! STOP. LEAVE IT ALONE. So I'm not having the pillars done and Mick is right, why risk future problems. Lower panels only as they are scratched (and the door handles (but don't tell my son)) Whistle Current MY2020

Got the RR back today. I had the two lower panels below the grills renewed, the door handles and the front grill colour coded.

They removed the handles to ensure a proper job.

I am really pleased with the results...

The guy in the bodyshop says it's becoming common for owners to have the Range Rover lettering removed from the bonnet and leave it bare.

I did a photoshop and I wasn't convinced...so left them on...pleased I did. Current MY2020

Your paintshop guy has done a really good job of those … Thumbs Up last year when i took the Lettering off the back and front of my old SC it did look pretty weird … had to put them back on tho Thumbs Up

Nearly looks like mine apart from the alloys and the black lines i have on my Grill … Laughing

Just need to get a big engine like yours tho … Laughing
