Those guys at Powerfuluk have come up with a novel solution to the grille paint problem



Thanks to Simon and all at Powerfukuk.

On their website at £55 in both black and silver.

Brilliant. Just what my car needs 😁.
Quite like to have my grille surround painted black then a chrome trim to finish it. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Excellent, that's made a big improvement.
Shame I've got the earlier model.  DAVE.

Just ordered one in black, my blotchy silver has being doing my head in for ages, started about 4 years ago when still under LR Approved used warranty but the main stealer wasn’t interested. 64 plate TD4 SE Santorini Black

Interested to hear how it is before perhaps ordering one myself.

If the rest of their in house designed stuff is anything to go by it will be a decent quality upgrade, and if not their customer service is 2nd to none IMO.

At the end of the video Simon does say he thought he hadnt cleaned the area at the top sufficiently where the smallest bit of 3M tape didnt stick down but a bit of silicon underneath fixed it.

You just have to love Simon he seems such a nice guy.

Good to have solutions for this. My chrome strip had turned black, and the silver paint was flaking off the grille itself, so i painted the whole lot anthracite... particularly so i still had contrast with the black outer edge

I wonder is it practical to have the outer surround wrapped with gloss black then the chrome trim over that? Might be cheaper than having it professionally painted and neatef than a DIY paint job? Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

The black version looks awful, so I will probably order silver.

They are also doing a primed version so you can get it painted to your own colour. MY13 HSE Lux Santorini Black Gone

Anyone fitted the Powerfuluk product yet?
Would be interested in any feedback please.

Still thinking about it. My lacqeur's getting worse

Anybody tried one of these yet ? Might help with getting a good trade in price when the dealers mark down the price with every blemish 😬. Might be worth the money
