I was thinking of using gloss carbon fibre wrap on all those bits, but these look really nice too

You could get the parts carbon dipped which looks better than wrap - https://www.customdip.co.uk/services--packages

They look great, some of the same parts on the page too!
And they are in Leeds!

thanks, ill check them out.

No problem

Well after 3 days of claying (again), correcting the paintwork from swirls/ scratches, mudflap fitting and general fettling it's almost finished ready to get dirty with the road salt yet again

Looks great but soooo hard to keep like that. What polishes / sealants do you use? Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

After the correction stage i use Poorboys EXP sealant as i was told white paint shows better with sealant unlike coloured + metallics which are better with a glaze or wax

Ok, like poorboys stuff used their black hole glaze and natty blue liquid wax, found they give a good finish but the glaze does not repel water for long periods. Wonder is the exp better in that regard? Currently using Megs gold class wax which I'm impressed with.
What do you think of the steering wheel piano black trim, is it decent quality/ fit well? Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Glaze is used to get a shine (usually for shows or when selling a car, etc) so doesn't last long, a sealant is supposed to last anywhere from 6 months onwards as it's a coating so this beads for a few months.
I used Jetseal 109 for a couple of years before the Poorboys and that was great at first then the new bottle i bought seemed to go off (went like porridge) which is why i switched to PB and this goes on very easy and comes off easy enough.
I used to use Megs NXT which i thought was great, and to be honest apart from how long polishes last i can't really tell the difference between them these days, on white cars you don't have the wow factor but do get a nice deep shine with a good wax/ sealant.

The steering wheel trims are made from a flexible plastic, nice deep gloss finish to match the dash pieces and have nice bevelled finishes to the holes so the pieces aren't just flat like a sticker. They do sit proud a few MM but i guess if you didn't know they were stuck on you'd not notice and think they were LR parts

So you washed it, you clayed it, you dual axis polished it ...............

Yep - washed, clayed, Dual Action polished (machine polished), sealed paint then blacked all unpainted black trim with Blackwow to bring the deep black colour back - don't want to drive it now so it doesn't get dirty again

Mudflaps i hope will stop some of the tar from getting along the door bottoms - bloody nuisance around here

Shiney silver vent covers fitted to break up the blackness of the dash - match the gear surround nicely

I was thinking about getting the surround wrapped or dipped gloss black (afraid paint might chip) then trying to find a leather stitched gaitor for the gear lever - hmmm
