2010 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Santorini Black

Unexpected decision from Dealer

My 2010 90XS was in the dealers today for some warranty work:-
1. Replace foam block on door bottom
2. replace rusty front Mudflap brackets ( Had to paint the rear ones myself as I had modified them to fit rear bumperettes.
3. Recall work for Handbrake
4.Repaint A/C grills at bottom of radiator grill BUT instead Dealer has ordered a complete NEW radiator grill.

The posts on here of members with similar problems on the A/C grill of paint loss due to corrosion have had them repainted, but this dealer is replacing them.

Stratstones Landrover, Cardiff.

My dealer repainted the two small A/C grilles satin black then that peeled off then they renewed the whole lot (i think). 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

I expect it's cheaper to replace, and less hassle. When they get them painted they have to loan you a car and I bet Land Rover wont cover the costs. 130's have feeling's as well you know

2008 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Epsom Green

Had mine replaced rather than repainted too - but the paint came off the replacement even quicker. They need to be etch-primed during in manufacture, but presumably LR don't bother. IMO they'd have been better off using black plastic 1953 80
1965 Alfa Romeo GT Veloce Sprint
1980 Fiat 124 Spider
2008 110xs
