Interesting pain issue with the front grill
The car is 2008 model Disco 3.
This is what it looks like after 2 years.
The highest temperature it has ever met is 40 C.
Lowest is -3 C.

Is this normal with the front grill ?
Edit : Lol at the topic, just noticed, supposed to be paint. =)

Looks (to my untraining eye) that something in the past has struck the grill and the paints flaked away with maybe a pressure washer ??SOLD - 23my Range Rover Sport D300 Dynamic SE

Yes, ours looks like that, but with silver paint it's more obvious. As it happens, the dealer did it by the over-enthusiastic use of a pressure wash. I did the same thing myself on my Deafener a few years ago.
Someone had a similar issue with paint bonding to plastic when the new 2008 model came out, IIRC? A silver car with paint stripped off on the rear bumper. Picture is somewhere on this site.
When I pulled off a front number plate that needed changed that was what happened. Once there is an edge, it just keeps coming off like peeling an orange.A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

Most likely to be a chip from a stone that has broken through the top coat of paint and got enlarged through time by pressurewashers or even high speed winds
