Get them touched up then get some patches of PPF cut - Tesla’s suffer the same issue and now come with PPF on the rear doors and leading edge of the rear wheelarches. My Mini Cooper also suffers from this but not my Defender as it’s already got clear gloss PPF on the front, bonnet and both sides up to the window line - I also had the same on the previous L663 110. 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! |

Can’t say I noticed much on my first 90, the colour coding on my 110 XS seemed to hold up through the winter. Not sure how the gloss Black trim on my current 90 X-Dynamic will hold up.
But thanks to some muppet in a Blue BMW, I now have scuffs and a very slight dent in my passenger door, after they opened their door onto mine. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue |

That's so annoying
A mobile dent repair company should be able to fix that and buff out the scratch |

mines plastic like yours, but not quite as bad after 15,000. I also have front classic mud flaps.
I`m pleased it`s not painted that is for sure 2015 90SW Heritage MY16, 2016 90SW XS MY16 (123rd b4 the last build) & RRS HSE MY15 |

When I had mine wrapped, the first thing they said was be glad the plastic wasnt painted as they chipped! Mike

l've ordered new rear plastic pieces, they are £60 each.
l've since fitted side steps so hopefully they will help to protect the plastic from further stone chips! You didn't get this with the old model Defender..... |

But it was uniformly rusty, so you never noticed things like this.
