Replacing Trim Pieces on 110
So, I am considering removing my expedition rack, ladder, and lunch box but I need to know where I can get replacement trim pieces in Eiger Grey. Does anyone have a contact that is good for these sorts of things? My dealership is terrible so I don't feel like I can go there for this.
Thanks in advance!

Oh wow -- if you DO source new ones, I will buy your old pieces with the holes in them, both sides in Eiger as I need them and it may help defer your expense if they're in good shape. So hit me up!
As of now, you can't buy them pre-painted from JLR, so you're looking at a paint shop for it. I know this because I tried to buy the strip under the rear quarter panel window thinking it could just be swapped on and off when I took the side cargo box on and off. Comes unpainted / primed only.
One thing - I did send sir Simon over in the UK a message awhile back saying I think he'd see nice revenue if they decided to offering pre-painted pieces in a few popular Defender colors for the following and they said they'd look into it:
- LH and RH trim strips where the ladder/box mounts, 90 and 110 versions
- Lower A-pillar rectangular pieces
- A pillars in 2 tone colors other than black
- Door handles (well the cover pieces, but genuine not stick ons)
- Rear lower corner pieces

Do you happen to know the part numbers for the left and right sides?

@nashvegas I did the same thing and replaced the trim pieces after removing the lunch box and rack. I sourced the parts from a dealer's online parts store (My Rover Parts) and then used a spray touch-up kit from AutomotiveTouchUp.com. I read mixed reviews but gave it a shot. The paint came out great and the color match was good enough for me given it's just trim pieces and knowing I was having them wrapped with clear stealth to match the truck. Pretty simple process to replace them once you've removed the OEM parts.
