Default Checkered plates without wheel arch protection?

Anyone ordered or have pictures of the small checkered plates without the wheel-arch-protection? I have only seen it in a few pics on the LR website.

I ordered the checkered protection when my vehicle arrived back in June, my kit came with mirror, rear bumper and corner tail light pieces. Asked dealer why I didn’t receive the front fender pieces, they responded that they were sold separate from my kit. I was confused and most personal from parts to sales manager. If ordering I would definitely ask what pieces would you receive, they may have a little more knowledge now.

Thanks for the heads up. How many hours of labor did the dealer charge for the checkered-plate installation?

Not sure, they packaged labor charge with other accessories before delivery.
I didn’t have them install the mirror plates, I prefer the look without.
If you are handy it would be a easy install, rear corner pieces pop off and new plates pop back on, they really change the rear appearance in a good way.

Agreed looks great! I ordered the checkered plates for my Fuji white too. I might just attempt the install myself. PowerfulUK has an instal video which seems simple enough. Thanks again.

Attached the back trim using non-marring body kit tools Pretty straight forward Just have to make sure clips all line up Dealer installed the flaps yesterday Still deciding yes/no on the small checkered wheel-arch trim pieces

Tcole - Noticed your window square is black. Did you paint or apply film?
