Ive fitted some of the newer side vents with the three fins at the top - very pleased with them. However they are a darker grey than the old vents and also darker than the door handles, the mesh is particularly dark compared to the silver of the old ones.

So in the never ending world of pimping, tastefully or otherwise, my RR I may have to repaint the door handles and that huge plastic bonnet vent (which I don't like anyway) to be a better match, maybe even the side step trims.

So the question is - if it ain't Brunel Grey what colour might it be? Geoff

If you have a Picture of it , it might be the darker Oberon grey colour ….  ====================================

Brunel, oberon and titan... Many grey finishes on different years...

The door handles look in pretty good nick, are they original or covers? Would be a shame to paint over them if they are original as any new paint will probably start to scratch off and look tatty. No longer FF owner but still interested. Present car Jaguar XE

Are they OEM or aftermarket style ones ... ====================================

I had all my handles repainted and they look superb now, well worth the money

Handles and bonnet vent have been on from me getting the car so i assume new.
The side vents I bought on here, genuine LR I should have noted the part number. No one but me really notices the different greys - but you know how it is when something gets under your skin  Geoff

Your side vents have "Oberon" surrounds and all the other parts are "Brunel" Grey




Craig

Thanks Craig, would I be right to assume Oberon door handles aren't available as newer cars would have them body coloured.

Then of course there is the issue of that cheapo looking bonnet vent  Geoff

Take it off and spray it that's what I did with mine on my old SC

Geoff, mine is colour coded on my Bonatti grey SC... and looks much better... "IMHO" (pics available)

Dont fall into the trap of having the door handles painted as they are made of a plastic that does not accept paint well (hence why Land Rover did not paint them body colour until 2011) That's why the Powerfuluk.com stick on covers exist in the first place...
