cheers LR Nut - ordered Thumbs Up


Did you get them made 1mm oversize like Past master suggested?

I'm thinking I might grab a set as well... Though shipping to Aus could be pricey... MY15 Santorini Black/Almond | Clearview Pack

just ordered the standard size off the drop down menu. I'll trial fit them to check and take it from there. I can always return them and reorder.

Any plans to do the side vents or anything else in black Question


I am thinking of doing the side vents, haven't looked into it yet though. Did you do yours? If so did you mask anything behind the vent?

Maybe the chrome plate on the boot too...


I just changed my vents over to the LR Gloss black ones.
Didn't do my chrome boot strip, thought that would be too much for me, plus (in my opinion) it takes away the look of it being a facelift model.

@Dyl1

From RoyalMail.com...

Sent from the Uk as a 5-7 days signed for large letter - Jiffy bag up to 500g - it'll cost £7.90 or £12.80 or as a small parcel up to 1kg, £13.90 or £18.15.

Anything faster is viciously expensive - anything cheaper takes up to 84 days.


All plus packaging cost of course.

I would have gone for the gloss ones but have done the grill matte black and would rather them match... Thus creating more work for myself. MY15 Santorini Black/Almond | Clearview Pack

Yeah, same: am going matte black.

Can't you just pop the side vents out quite easily, spray them, and pop them back in?

Are you planning on doing the door handles as well? I was thinking about buying matte black replacements, spraying would be more economical if feasible. FL2 2011 SD4 XS in Galway Green

that's what I was thinking - must be pretty straightforward (and a lot cheaper) to spray 'em?

If anyone's a bit wary of sprayng their venst, I've got a set of standard silver vents that are up for grabs.
That way you can dabble all you want.
eg just spray the mesh section black, spray the mesh & centre spar, body colour the whole vent, body colour the mesh only etc etc.

how much do you want for them RonP? I'm looking to do mine but haven't the nerve in case I botch it and have to drive round looking like a loon!

PS - you're always helping me find things! The roof rails are class - thanks again!
