Fit them, I reckon the wrap around glass look will be great

I'm contemplating doing something similar but using thick vinyl which I'm hoping should be a bit more scratch resistant. My Freely regulary gets scratched when hitting the trails

Stuart - nice job on the D pillars.

"When the sun hits it there is almost a brownish about it with purple/green multi colour metallic flecks - Barolo Black! Whistle"

You must have different sun in Oz as I have a Barolo Black HSE Lux and there's no sign of brown or purple or green here. Smile
The clue is in the name "Barolo" as in RED wine. A nice deep ruby red under black.

Doesnt stand out so much on a dark coloured car but I reckon the C pillars need the same treatment really as they break the window line if they are body colour, more so if you have the blacked out windows at the rear?

Yes Mike you could describe it as a red/brown hue but I most Definately can see colour flecks in the paint both in the Barolo Black and Aintree Green. Well yes the sun is rather intense over here!
Not a fan of blacking out C-Pillar I actually like this feature and want to maintain the consistency with other LR product. MY15

Here's mine and its gloss black...





My door handles and side vents are also gloss black as the dynamic came like this from the factory. Narvik Black door handles? Did you purchase these ...

Lol, Yes got a full set ready to go if I decide a want a change. Their pretty easy to change over. Whistle
"Narvik" black is Land Rovers colour description for the black on their Handles, Side Vents and Grill Spars. Thumbs Up
I got these directly from the UK as I could only get primed "skins" here and would have had to get painted. These are factory painted by Land Rover.

Have already had this convo with Panel shop and they also said its Barolo Black. Spars are Narvik Black. They've asked me to decide. They do all the dealers pre delivery work so that should know Thumbs Up
That's why your spars "black" is different to the grill surround "black"
Check next time it's in the sun there's quite a difference!
I think I'll stick with Narvik Black just to be consistent Thumbs Up MY15

Lol, your not getting my point! The bumper assembly is all one piece on the Freelander 2 the paint colour on the Dynamic grill, which is not , never been available in Australia possibly has the same colour as the surround as it's easier in production. Disco, Evoke, RRS etc grills are all separate to bumper assembly so are Narvik Black as they are interchangeable at dealer point!
As in Australia all black grills are Narvik Black I'm being asked to choose. As they are all Narvik Black I think I will stick with that. MY15

Why not use plastidip paint for the grill and bumper cover its like a vinyl wrap, but in a spray can. Flexible, durable and can be peeled off if you don't like it
