Defender 110 - Painting the Silver > Black
Decided I no longer liked the silver so going for a black on all of the bright silver components.

Question is do I paint the darker grey areas black or not on the front fog light surrounds / back bumper.

It looks like you have an X-dynamic with the Silicon Silver satin front and rear bumper.

You have the front expedition protection system bar in the front, these come only in Ceres Silver

So if you paint that Ceres Silver satin part and the fog surrounds black, it will look all black in the front and you're almost forced to spay your rear bumper black for matching

Or you only paint the inlay from the bar black and the Ceres Silver parts left in Silicon Silver satin.

Any chance you have the raised expedition front corners left and willing to sell ?

all black and kept the dark grey to avoid painting the rear bumper like you say, and no I don't even know if they are on my car to begin with, dealer was less than useless at fitting stage with some items apologies.
