Those ones you've ordered look perfect. Just paint the undersides. I used Hammerite just because I had some but next time I will get canned stonechip and do it even better. When the mounting brackets are off it's a good opportunity to clean the mud out of recesses at the front. There was a good pint of mud in both sides of mine. Good luck! |

It's amazing that such new cars need such a level of work to keep them rot free. The side steps on mine were in similar condition and under them I have also found a few areas that the original underbody protection has chipped away in so will now be cleaning down and protecting them. |

It is Matt, I don't mind the maintenance/ mechanical works but land rovers rust proofing is terrible we've got a few volvos some nearing 35yrs old and none have the same amount of rust a 9yr old land rover has.

That's amazing! I really like the old Volvos, I'm yet to own one but have great memories of being a passenger in a few 240s when they were newer. Definitely a car on my ownership bucket list.

I normally get back to bare metal then red oxide, seam sealer and stone chip after that normally go over with the car colour but for the range rover I'm not going that into detail
