Personally prefer the black vents. The Atlas break up the flow of the car. John

I have a set of the black vents with the strips knocking about somewhere, I shall fit them and take a pic....

Personally prefer the black vents rather than the Atlas ones Ryan. I think the Altas look like too much trim.. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

A couple of pics with and without the silver strips for a black car.

I’ve had these powerful ones on the shelf for 12 months as I didn’t think I would like them on the car. (Came with a grill) and now I’ve put one of them on I still don’t like them. So it’s back to black.... definitely go black Ryan.

Shocked I've really never got the silver roof thing. One of my neighbours has one & always think it looks a little odd...

Black tint windows (on a non black car) I think works really well. But a silver roof - I just don't get that at all - but that's fantastic - if we all liked the same thing, life would be very boring Laughing

Not having a silver roof though Al, just keep thinking me likey 😂... bit like putting spats over boots 😂

Thanks nmj for the effort with the black and silver vents... does look quite nice on yours 🙈

The black is probably more universally popular... and it took me ages to find as new LR ones in Santorini, all the other sets available at the time were gloss black and I wanted the vent paint to match the surrounding paint...

Rob, those are the 22" I would like on mine. Thumbs Up

Worth the effort Ryan just to confirm I don't like them as much as the black..... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I'm going to get the atlas bits put to black, I think it will clean up the look. It's one of those jobs i can't seem to get around to, probably because I keep toying with the idea of 2018> rear end and the SVO front bumper.

However on a different coloured L405 the two tone look can work very nicely. I do like a Carpathian Grey with Black pack

Anyone on here want to sell a set of side strips for a 2021 model. Dealer says can't get just the strips, have to have vents as well. Can't be right can it? Whistle All LR cars from 1984

Yep I like this also .


this looks just like mine Thumbs Up .....really like the silver roof. Makes it look more "Special edition/limo-esque" to me. I believe only AB's have the silver roof...so it has exclusivity.

Plus really shows off the floating roof...esp if all the windows are tinted 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

Floating roof has a much better affect with a non black car, kind of gets lost with black windows black body and black roof... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Unfortunately the Red calipers are there to signify the red diesel she enjoys from Farmer Giles down the road Rolling with laughter

I just like the break up of the coloured calipers, a 5.0 SC is on the bucket list however Thumbs Up
