United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Buckingham Blue

I think a colour similar to below could look good, as you say….





Or if you want a cheaper way 🤣

United Kingdom 2013 Range Rover SVAutobiography 5.0 SC V8 Orkney Grey

Afternoon haylands,

I think we all reach a point where tinkering creeps in, I reach the same point, happy with the car in terms of mechanically so why change, so minor external adjustments make sense, if it were me i think I would drop a set of the 22" SV polished wheels and wrap the roof, i think you will be surprised what those minor changes could do.

If i remember rightly batman just sold his which was that very combo, discrete and subtle.

Each to their own, I think i would be tempted to stick with a wrap if it were me, rather than paint. Wraps last for years these days and will provide some paint protection as well if you get the PPF version, and if you change your mind no big shakes. I have those 22" polished SV wheels on my L405 SV and there do look very special when clean.

If you are considering a colour change in paint, then why not just go the whole hog and get the absolute colour you love.

What ever you do I am sure it will look great. Then there is no compromise.

DrF

I rather like the two tone look, it's reminiscent of large luxury saloon cars that I used to see when I was a youngster. One of my grand fathers had a two tone Vanden Plas Princess 4.0Ltr R, Mind you that was many, many years ago Whistle Big Cry

England 2014 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Loire Blue

Thanks for all the input....

Well, 11 to 4 against, think I'll do it then.... Whistle

Seriously, I get these mad ideas in my head, like converting the old 322 for proper offroading... Rolling Eyes

I had considered all the implications, just wanted some feedback from you lot.....

I don't like wraps, and believe it or not I can get it done in paint cheaper...!!
I don't like black fatties.
The 21's on it are large enough, if anything I'd go to 20's
I don't like polished or diamond cut alloys.
Don't like the floating roof effect by doing it silver
And I shouldn't have bought an Autobiography as it has just about everything you can have so nothing to upgrade...

It's booked in for a two day paint correction in spring as at 10 years old it has a lot of swirl marks...

We're off in a week or so for our usual winter sun so I'll be having a think about other outlandish and possibly tasteless mods...

Any ideas, please speak up....

Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Pete

United Kingdom 2018 Range Rover Autobiography TDV6 Barossa

Just noticed this thread. I have just been discussing this with a body shop & the costs are in. Just trying to decide if I shall pull the trigger. My Fifty is in Carpathian Grey with a black roof, so its the bonnet & windows down to the door handles for paint. Much like the above picture. Trying to decide on plain gloss black or metallic black. Would like a metallic that really pops in the sunlight, dosn't have to be Land Rover Obsidian or Santorini. You don't really see the roof anyway so a different black won't matter.
Any thoughts on different blacks ??????????

You asked so I’m going to be frank - it makes a RR look cheap and nasty. Plus every one like that I have seen seems to attract a certain clientele - there is also a car wash of certain ethnicity in the local town that has one like that and rumour has it they provide several types of services and goods.

Sorry it’s a no from me - perhaps my judgement is clouded 🙈😂 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

Cheap, it aint. Big Cry Nasty, that's the look I'm going for Rolling with laughter As for the rest of of your critique, I don't have or use a carwash, you seem to know a lot more than I do Whistle

It’s not split along the body line like the SVAutobiography option, think the roof is still black, as so:



Anyway, I don’t mind two-tone on the right car.

Not so easy on L461 as the swage line tapers to nothing near the rear Big Cry
