Cheers I think its more because you have not seen it done before. Here's a picture when it came of the transporter black moulding and d pillar dated the new car! I have got additional gloss black painted on the car to compensate for the additional white! Hears a better shot of the boot trim in gloss black which the dealers did for me! Looking at the photos before and after I know what I would have

Agreed its because it's something I'm not used to seeing, when you see the original and coded together the coded is better

Nice idea CG. Doing it gloss black would give the floating roof look! Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come......... |

Dave I went for a 5% tint, as on a white car I wanted that extra contrast and I liked the deep gloss black effect it would have on the Freely! I've had 20% in the past but I'm glad I opted for limo tint this time. Tints are always a personal choice, personally, I would not tint the rears any lighter than 20% good thing about limo is that their is no need at all to use the boot roller blind. Mav I have got a 3 year paint warranty on the D pillars and door mouldings so no chance I will be changing these buddy . I can see your theory behind the gloss black d pillars but I would think that it would look like someone with bad taste took it to their local paint shop! My way of coding the d pillars looks more in touch with the cars naturally lines. It shows the edges of the car nicely and it gives a more planted look which helps the rear end look more squarer and with the body pack it gives the car a more aggressive look! It now also matches the A and C pillars. This is the way LR should have made the dynamic. The stock car looked too tame for my liking! The coded door moulding acts as an extra rib and it looks like it's a part of the bodykit in a way. CG I would rather have a permanent mod as painting rather than wrapping. To have a floating roof you would have to also paint the A,B,C and D pillars all gloss black to match. The B pillars are a funny smooth texture black so they would not be a good match against gloss black. A floating roof takes away the cars naturally shape. As I was after a more chisel look the coded D pillars were for me MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

You may have noticed in some of the pictures that my side repeaters have been blended in. Here's some pics of the job being done

Also fitted the black badges. As much as I love the green oval it looked an eyesore against a gloss back grill!
