New front bumper

After making a mess of the old front bumper whilst trying to turnaround in a dark field I decided to update the front end and Im liking the look.

Looking good, im in the process of having mine done ive changed the grill to a 14 plate one but unfortunately izmir blue must be a hard colour to match as im on my second spray shop now the first one couldn't match it.

There was a slight mis-match with the colour on mine but the body shop noticed it while it was still in the paint booth so they faded in the front part of the wings and now you can not see any difference.

Plastic parts on most cars never quite match, even brand new you can see a difference, possibly the underlying coats of primer which are different for metal and plastic?

It makes your Tambora Flame car look very smart Thumbs Up

Thanks Taz. I'm very happy with the result, I've now just got to change the rear lights and tailgate handle and the transformation will be complete.

Looks good norfie. I'm in the process of doing this, the tailgate handle and bumper are in the paint shop as we speak. I have the rear lights and badges all ready and waiting for 'Update Day'. Just need a pair of bezels. 2010MY 2.2 e4 (gone but, not forgotten)

We have a 11 reg bali blue facelift FL2 and a 60 reg stornoway grey pre facelift FL2 in the drive and I mentioned the difference to a couple of non landrover neighbours who said that "to be honest I hadn't noticed the difference" !

It would be interesting to talk to a car sales professional as to what effect, if any it would have on a resale value.

The FL1 plastic wings were all excellent colour matches by LR Thumbs Up

But yes I have seen some new cars where the plastic is not quite the same colour match MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Hi All, does anyone know where I can find the exact land rover color numbers to paint a new front bumper for my 2010 XS? The colour of mine is Zermatt Grey.
Many thanks

I have (alaskan)white, but with a few splashes of black and I think it looks the dogs Censored Laughing

On Monday Mines going in to have colour coding of lower sills all round, D pillars, Spoiler and boot handle and to have the grill done in black plastidip.

I did think about upgrading the front bumper and fog light bezels but the extra expense was outweighed by the need to spend money on my house. Big Cry
