Hey all!

Today I decided to plasti dip the grill on my 2015 TD4 SE black.

Here are a few pics of the process.

Let me know what you reckon!

LR Nut - any idea where to get a full set of black badges from ? without paying £100+ that they are on ebay for

Got mine from these guys. Many on the forum have

I take it they are for the front/back and the C pillars ?

Are they stick on over the existing or replacement ?

The stick on ones are fine although not quite as good as the original. It has been suggested that you get them made 1mm oversize. I have them on mine and there was a tiny bit of green showing round the edges of the ones on the pillars. I just touch them up with a black felt pen every now and then!
The wheel centre badges are not stick-on and are as good as the originals. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

They are gel overlays but dam good quality you cannot tell they are stuck over the existing badge. Mine are the standard size and are fine. They've been on the car since it was only a day old  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

cheers LR Nut - ordered

I'm about to do the same; great to see how good it looks and photos of the process v helpful.

I was considering taking the front bumper etc. off but you've convinced me I can do it in place. Thanks! FL2 2011 SD4 XS in Galway Green

Likewise thinking the same, presumably somethings tucked down behind it to stop the overspray? Thinking of also doing the chrome arse piece too.

Where did you source your Plasti-Dip spray can from?

I got mine done at a place round the corner from me, in Mansfield Woodhouse.

Plasti dip spray you can buy on line yourself from here by the looks of it http://www.plastidip.co.uk/

Got my cans from eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-X-PLASTIDIP-PL...OU:GB:3160

Was planning to stuff black bags torn at the sides behind the grill? Or if that doesn't work, maybe cardboard inserted from the top. FL2 2011 SD4 XS in Galway Green

Yeah no need to take the whole bumper off, once you take the top 4 bolts out there is enough room to slide some paper behind to protect everything behind the grill.

And gingerlord I just got mine from a local auto shop in Aus. MY15 Santorini Black/Almond | Clearview Pack
