Painted myself, no PPF yet... Definitely not a novice job, lots of prep work to get a proper job and if you don't use the right process and materials.

 

That looks absolutely amazing.

Beautiful rig.

 

Yep, MikeLR - that's what I'm after. (Eiger Grey X model and want to get the flares and have them painted black to match!)

LR needs to step it up and offer them. I'd gladly pay for them painted. I'm sure others would too.

 

I'm going to give it a shot this morning and see how it goes. I figure I'll do the same as you and if LR ever comes out with their own Gloss Arches with the side marker lights I can swap to those later.

 

if you haven’t seen the video its pretty in depth

i installed my oem euro spec on my p400

love to see the fitment. about to order

 

sorry double post

 

Ok done.. took about an hour and a half... they look good! No major issues going on and fitment is fine.

There was a little bit of prep putting the adhesive on the arches first, replacing the clips and taping the running light connectors. I didn't get a chance to wash the Defender beforehand.. maybe tomorrow or I may wait until next week for the adhesive to fully bond.. I'll take a couple better photos then.

I watched a short video from Vulkan and the Powerful Uk video which was great and super helpful.

 

great news. was hesitant with fitment.

how’s the paint? decently matches the oem gloss black?

 

i installed the euro flares vs the NAS. I like that it looks more like the classic defender flare without the marker lights.

 

So I'm about to do this on my 130 which is why I came to find this thread. I'm glad no error lights when unplugging them. But a year ++ later, have you had any trouble with any water getting in etc? I'd really like to do something a bit more than just wrapping in black tape to ensure its water tight, but no ideas yet.
