plastic parts
Does anyone know if replacing all the black plastic, wheel archers, bits under the doors, and end caps on front bumper , rear bumper would be very expensive ? not sure if the black ends on front bumper are removable. just want to bring her back to life a bit more. thanks

I prefer them not colour coded too.
Just personal taste and neither is right or wrong

Well i used c4 again 4 days ago and wasnt impressed considering I'd used before with great results. So i want get rid of the faded black parts, plus they are in excellent condition if anyone wanted to paint them. Just the rear bumper would cost alot for a new one i guess. I have emailed duckworth for a price but haven't heard back yet.
I don't really like the fully colour coded look. Not so bad on darker colours, but I wouldn't want it on my Zambezi. Some time, I may have a go at painting the black parts (in black) but I'd do the bumper in silver (maybe fog surrounds and headlight washers in black).
The scuttle seems to fade most.
I actually prefer the look of a colour coded D3 bumper to the D4 version.Current: Discovery 3 06MY (55 reg) HSE Auto Zambezi Silver Allisport Fast Road Intercooler, V8 Brakes, Silicone IC Hoses, EGRs Blanked, Remapped, De-Cat pipe, FBHIC

Just so you know, the black end caps on the front bumper aren't removable . They are part of the whole bumper
