Done the front and the back and arches to follow ...
Are we all Zambezi/zermatt D4 Front upgrade/cut back wings n things 'taking a long time but getting there'.
D4 rear upgrade - Narpys helped with that bit
Flack for problem solving and D4 Bluetooth Install/ D4 Heated Steering wheel with Flappy paddles n BBS enabling kit
Disco Mikeys work - Serviced, EGR blanking and 4x4 software upgrade, 3 flash indicators.
B.A.S - FBHIC. Uncle Rays spare wheel protector. Beanie Silver Black badges.
I have a cairns blue d3 and have been dead agains colour coded arches but I bought a gloss black side vent some weeks ago and liked the look so have decided to buy the matching black front grill. Now I've seen jonny chainsaw's d3 with the black arches I've had a brain wave. Painted black arches. Mmmm I wonder if it will work

Bobs you must be over the moon with the work you've had done. Love it
It did cross my mind to paint my arches black decided against it as I thought the matt look worked better with silver. As yours is cairns blue it wouldn't stand out so much.

Just think they're beginning to look a bit dated. Plus I'm fed up with constantly trying to keep the black ones looking good. Examples below

LT anyone would rhink you're getting a bit misty eyed over your old D3, judging by your comments here and the current wheel post along with your signature. It's a bit ironic that I have a d3 but like the look of the d4 whereas it seems the opposite with you. We could always arrange a swap

I like how they look without any mods.
I think the 4 has too much bling!
I would not mind having one but the 3 looks great!
