Black Arch above rear door
Just noticed, maybe an design try out from JLR, but I think it looks rather good. Especially on the lighter colors.
You can save a black roof option by painting only the arch. Any thoughts ?

As there are three panel joins up there it would be easy and neat to do as a black wrap. As mine is a 1sr Edition it came with a black arch Wink

 Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

Picked up this mod yesterday.
Disassembled the 2 black corners,

Total of 4 M6 bolts (socket 10) under the arch.
Push upwards to release the metal clips from the arch.

Disassemble the 3rd breaklight with 10 Torx screws.

Have it wrapped locally in gloss black.
Everything in the same order re installed.

1 visible as you already mentioned.
The other one is under the arch. , Did use a little extension socket.

The first 4 are actually the first 6 Torx screws of the middle part, remove that by wiggling and clip release.
