I've seen some have been done, what method was used?

Paint

Plastidip

Wrapped
Personally I like more plastidip, it gives more glace. According to me I have black bumpers that plastidiped and charcoal paint. It was custom and before that I chosed color in this https://create.vista.com/colors/color-names/charcoal/ digital service helps now

Just finished my black out work - all done by my dealer.
Front and Rear bumper - painted gloss black.
All matte plastic wheel arches, lower panels and front and rear quarter panels - replaced with LR gloss black parts.
Excellent quality work by JLR White Plains.
Window tint and Stek Dynoshield PPF wrap by Made To Last Visual in Queens, NY.

The gloss black trim really makes the Carpathian Grey paint seem much darker and richer. Really happy with the results.

As a follow up to this - I was always bothered by the side lights located in the front and rear wheel arches - so I had them blacked out in a dark smoked vinyl wrap - I think it makes a huge difference:

I just gotta ask you, where did you get the side steps with glossy black trims?

The side steps were from New Defender Parts. Excellent quality and even has Defender stamped on the rubber step.
