Now thats how to make the original generations rear lights looking great! how did you manage that or is it a trade secret? I've seen black RR sport LED replacement units which I like the look of but now think I like yours better ![]() https://www.powerfuluk.com/vehicles/land-r...ition.html If your going through hell, keep going!

It will look good with your White motor, it's just the top line on the gold one isn't quite straight and that tiny drop makes it look a little strange to me. Maybe if the whole window frame from front to back was done it would set off the slight drop and bring it all together? If your going through hell, keep going!

Thanks for comments. ![]() Was quite easy really, just needs time & precision. I made paper templates to cover the red areas, then transferred to gloss black vinyl body wrap, then applied. I cut small 'stripes' to apply over the fog lights (so they're partially blended in with the black look, but still highly visible when on) FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:- Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip, Bluetooth Music Streaming Module. |

Are these easy to remove or is there a danger of breaking clips while doing it? Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Just ordered some wrap off Amazon bro. Not with the car for couple of days so just ordered and hope it'll be wide enough. It was 8.99 or so.

Hi I am fairly handy but I really didn't need a vid when you look at them they have studs running along the edge that the tailgate covers when closed, the studs are a large version of the studs that hold the plastic scuttle and battery box on with. Once you gently ease the middle up the studs can be pulled out. The panel just need to be pulled towards the rear of the car which frees it up from the window lip and hey presto one panel ready for covering. Happy wrapping ![]() Wrapper of rear pillars 😀 |

Cheers Sick It was a little experiment that turned out well, it will look good on your grey motor too. A little tip your panels need to be completely clean to get the best adhesion I found washing up liquid worked well for me as it is a degreasant but kind on the plastic. ![]() Wrapper of rear pillars 😀 |
