Unpainted wheel arches available?

Saw this in the Mail Online today -



Can you now specify unpainted wheel arches, or was this a special? I'd rather like to get some if they are now available.

Here's a link to the actual article on the 1 Millionth Disco for those interested -

No, I believe they are original parts (the D4 commercial over here comes with black arches) 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

I must admit the white ones do seem to suit the black arches Thumbs Up Cheers Ian

Mine has the unpainted wheel arches by choice (it's optional on the D4 Commercial to have them painted!). I think they (a) look better and (b) if you scrape them they don't cost a fortune to repaint.....

I also fitted the side rubbing strips which also enhance the looks - pity they don't go all the way from arch to arch though like they did on D1 & D2! 2016 Discovery 4 Commercial

its just a bit too white when its clean . I was in 2 minds as sometimes I like the white arches and other times not .

i have the old ones ..only takes 1/2 to swap them all over .

I think it breaks it up a bit ...and more practical for me G4 Gone ...but not forgotten
