Re: Land Rover Detail

Wow, that looks really good. For some reason I just love Land Rovers, they are just so different than any other SUV. Great job!

Re: Land Rover Detail

Sharp Thomas! What year, how was the trim, and if it was bad, how did you touch it up? I have to admit the LR trim material is.....terrible.

Re: Land Rover Detail

I too do like the look of these, always have! No matter what year they are, they always look classy.

Great detail, must have been a rather annoying one with all the trim everywhere.

Re: Land Rover Detail

Thanks everyone!!!!!!!

The paint on this car is easy to correct.

Patrick - Not sure how old it is, I'd say a few? Simply because the trim is in very good shape. I know all about the Rover trim. I can't believe that they continue to use junk.

P1et - it isn't too bad since it is easy to correct. Now on a bmw if I had to work around all that?? You do waste alot of blue tape for sure.

The interior in these and other Rover models suck. Way too small interior space. I'd never purchase one for that reason.

Re: Land Rover Detail

I've cleaned a few and the only thing I like personally is that window in the back corner. Nice work though!
