I have my RRS Supercharged due to be delivered hopefully just before Christmas and I am very settled on the colours – Mariana Black with an Ebony / Ivory interior. However I there is one thing that I am not too happy about……the only contrast roof colours available with Mariana Black are Indus Silver and Corris Grey which are a bit too much of a contrast for me so I have opted for a body coloured roof.

This means that I can’t have the side sills in the body colour and they will have to be black. But I would like them to be body coloured. So the question is…….has anybody had their dealer paint either the side sills or roof so that the everything is the same colour as the body colour and if anybody has what were the costs involved?

I have asked my dealer this question and waiting for him to get back to me but I thought it might be useful to get some idea of the costs involved from people who have done this.

Thanks

I'm not convinced the black side skirts are standard items painted black and are instead moulded in black. I think, at a minimum, you'll need to order a set-for-painting in primer and then have them painted, not the originals. Mark

When I was looking to order ferenze my dealer offered ( at a cost ) a colour coding package that is done in their body shop , for what it's worth I went with Mariana in the end it really is a fab colour even tho i wanted a change from black , I went with the indus roof and noble plated mirror caps , the combo I am very very pleased with the added bonus with it being the hse all the other bits , fog light surrounds , grille , trims , skid pans and belly pans are silver as standard so it all codes in another thing if you like lots of ivory have a look at the expresso comb as you get more ivory than you do with he ebony comb again delighted with that choice , whatever you go for ime sure it will look great rob t 2014/5 rr sport hse, Marianna black , silver roof , silver door mirror caps , privacy , deployable tow bar

You can spec body coloured sills and quarters now regardless of body colour. ( model year 15 orders, as of 17 July )

The online configuration still reverts to black plastics if you choose roof colour same as body.

I ask because I have been offered from my LR dealer a MY14 Autobiography Dynamic, all Black, but the sills and bumpers are not painted, which looks odd, especially as its listed as standard (unless you have the same roof colour)!

Online configurator is not up to date.Its still on MY 14.5 Go and speak to your dealer.
Unfortunately if you order now you probably wont get the car until around April next year.
Or you could take a punt, take the AB now and order a new one and hope its not too much to change............. ( don't think I'd be brave enough for that )

I have asked my dealer and he said that you still can't spec the side sills and roof in the same colour

And if anybody has had this done retrospectively by their dealer, I would also like an idea of the costs involved.

Cheers

My dealer (Leeds) will do sills and lower bumper for £1000 - one of my colleagues has just had it done and it looks perfect - no different from a factory paint.

looks perfect love that colour combo  2016 bmw x5 40d m-sport space grey
