Changes to the front and back

Contemplating changing the look of the front and back, already purchased the black tow eye covers but undecided on weather to go with the black or keep it silver. Any thoughts ? Also was thinking of getting the immediate area around these changed to match the rest of the silver bits ( the bull bar type areas ) was advised not to go down the wrap route as they will over time start to lift on the edges, and I don't want to commit to spray just in case I don't like the look, so is there anyone proficient in something like photoshop that can do a mock up for me to give me an idea?
Hopefully below will be some before and after shots with the different tow eye covers, any opinions welcome

sorry, I cant help here with fotoshop.

For your beautiful body-color, I would change the covers to the body tone, especially on the rear bumber.
As in my eyes, the tow eye-cover on the back stands in contrast always abit like a small "pantyliner" and makes the rear-end small and high looking, instead of wide and low when it is without a contrast cover.

Sorry, here it is to dark, but I changed to the cleaner open cover (tow pack) and coded it, looks more homogenous now.
Think it looks much more impressive on your car with a totally coded rear in a lighter tone... Wink

Noway, I think if you do the undertray black then you will have to gloss black all the other bit of tailgate trim too otherwise you end up with too many colours. Looks good as it left the factory. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

For the model of your car , hse I would leave it as it is the silver blends with the other silver parts on the grill ,vents and fog light surrounds .
There was a picture on another thread that had all the bumpers painted and it didn't go down to well if I remember rightly , I think it might have been something to do with hawk styling .
Search for hawke styling range rover , gallery , range rover sport , second pic .

Thanks for the comments guys, I do actually prefer the silver on the front but trying to come up with ideas for the "pantyliner" Rolling with laughter on that rear end. Did a quick search on the hawk styling but didn't come up with anything, would you be able to post a link fletcher ? think you're right Tim about the tailgate trim, plus prefer the silver "metal" look rather than the black plastic, just trying to visualise different rears to try and fatten it up ( not them ones Rolling with laughter ) 2015 HSE SDV6 Scotia Grey, ebony / lunar, colour coded, deployable steps, TV, sliding pano and a few other bits.

IMO I would just respray it in the same colour as the rest of the bumper, so it looks like one piece. 2014 L405 SDV8 RR Autobiography Cool

That's one hell of an aerial you've got on your wing there Nowaytk.
Maybe paint it silver to blend it in a bit.
Kiddin obviously, good looking car. Laughing
