yeah, im leaning towards that - dont like the way that satin/matte blacks seem to go grey, especially when compared to the metallic black bodywork? you dont happen to have a picture do you? you could email if its easier than posting here? no worries if not though..

My rear cross member paint had worn thin over the years as it seems to get sandblasted by salt and gravel caught up in the vortex behind the car this is why i used the Smoothright as it,s much harder wearing than satin black.Did my old 300 Tdi the same and that stayed good looking for years.

Try this kit - plenty enough for rear cross member, front bumper, axles and more:

Yeah you often find it will go through the warranty. I had mudflaps, bolts etc done but decided to just do xm myself for peace of mind Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |
