I think they need the black bits to remain black for them to look good! Our Java black one has wee bits changed - handles smoothed and sprayed to match the paintwork (so from dull black to metalic black)
I.e I think the second one there looks crap beacause of the white skirts and valances

we tow a range of trailers the biggest being a tri axle shuttle which we carry heavy cars in i.e lamborghinis and big 2tonne plus rolls royces and bentleys the 3 vehicles we have for towing are a range rover v8 petrol which is ok, a diesel 51 plate x5 which pulls like a train no matter what weight and only cost 7k and a toyota land cruiser which is the best of the lot drives great you wouldnt know theres a trailer on the back really smooth and pulls great

See one very similar to this locally, whatever they have done to the bumpers where they meet the arches makes it looks mean as hell but a tiny bit tacky at the same time.

It must do actually, can see a little recess for a rivett/bolt in the rear arch.

White RR is either for WAG's or perma-tanned pretty boys that run cocaine for drug dealers.

I havent seen many White RRS in Aberdeen. A couple full fat ones I think.
They all tend to be yummymummy types that drive them up here

They can look "footballer" for me. But you are right the Rr is a beast.
I mention cherokee for value btw as for the price they are cheap as chips. Get quite a new low mile one compared to RR etc although obviously not the same quality or appeal
