2014 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Carpathian Grey

Black Pack

I’m looking to refresh my 2014 4.4 Autobiography (Carpathian Grey) and am asking for advice on the best way to achieve this. I have seen BP parts are available on eBay, has anyone bought and fitted these? or are there better offerings out there?

This has been prompted as my turbine styled diamond cut wheels need refurbishment and the advice is to powder coat them as refurbished diamond cut will deteriorate quickly in the UK. I’ve been quoted £90 per wheel which for a 22’’ rim seems reasonable.

The wife is unsure about the BP so any members pictures of their car that have gone through this process would be appreciated.

I think Carpathian + black pack + standard turbines looks great ! all black wheels are a step too far for me though IMHO.
Pretty sure Powerful UK do black pack kits also and I've seen how to videos on their site too.

2016 Range Rover Vogue SE SDV8 Carpathian Grey

Agree with the above. All black wheels get very lost, even if they’re 22’s. I have carpathian black pack’d 2016 on 22 Turbines. Mine was spec’d like this from new so can’t comment on the powerful UK bits.

My turbines have had a refurb at some point, and they’ve blended a very light coating of black from the outer edge bleeding off inwards - looks prettt decent but I’d definitely prefer diamond cut spokes with black inners.

Very nice.

I take the point re the wheels but I’m told when refurbished the diamond cuts don’t last therefore Powder-coating them leaves a longer lasting finish??

How or where did you source the black parts? 718 GT4

2014 Range Rover Vogue SE SDV8 Loire Blue

Big fan of black pack (even did my old D4) but agree that the diamond cut wheels look great on cars with black pack. Even considering black packing my Loire blue car now (already have black grill)

A picture of my recently refurbed diamond cut turbines and how they sparkle in the night 😂😂

I’m not too worried about the diamond cut failing. I’ll be more likely to curb a wheel before the lacquer fails.
