If it has a grain to it then yours will be lined oak sir... Look at the link below, does it look like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Range-Rover-L322...2c4b9df8b2 |

If the parts are removable I'd suggest painting them. I only used wrap on the bits I couldn't remove. Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........ |

Your right Nick as good as the wrap looks I haven't been happy knowing that's it's all wrapped. With that in mind I have been busy removing wrap and am now in the process of painting. I have done a few parts including the panel above the upper glovebox all in gloss black with 8 coats of lacquer. I have to say its looks factory with a real mirror finish. It's a lot of work but worth it and I always like to have a little project on the FF. Pictures to follow once completed Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

You open glove box remove left vent and you will see it is held in by a single screw remove that and then pull out towards you held in by two clips. I removed the range rover badge and cleaned underneath to remove sticky residue. Don't be tempted to put badge back on until you have fully sprayed panel sanded and compounded and polished Otherwise polish gets under badge ask me how I know so had to be done again.

Mmm well after your advice i did the front ashtray. For a simple piece if trim it was a nightmare as i was over confident. I have had to do it twice and although it looks good im still not happy with it. Lacquer needs at least 36 hours before sanding. The journey continues Present :2008 TDV8 HSE
