Anyway LR paint the centre section of the bumper so while the bodyshop guys had paint mixed I got it done. £400 cash on top of the insurance claim.
Use a shotgun next time - it'll be cheaper DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

Looks ok on the black, not sure about the Bonatti Grey though, there's not really enough contrast I suppose 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

I do like the Bonatti Grey mirrors though - I'd have that done.
Maybe just because I've got colour coded mirrors on the 90 8)06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

The full paint treatment seems appropriate to tie in with 20"+ wheels, smoke glass and, no doubt, spinners and neon cill tubes; some people like a glammed-up Urban Assault Vehicle - de gustibus non disputandam est.
Since the mirrors are the part of my vehicle that come into contact with the hedgerows the most, I'd like a full metal jacket on them, rather than a shiny paint job. Perhaps I should have bid on those chrome covers on ebay last month...Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana
I was surprised (and pleased) to find that you now get this mat with the 2006 model HSE - as it does look better with it. I believe the part number is FAH500032.1996 Discovery 1 300TDI ES Biarritz Blue, sold
1999 Discovery 2 TD5 ES Rioja Red, sold
2002 Discovery 2 TD5 ES Buckingham Blue, sold

2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Zambezi Silver, sold
