I've been thinking about it. ;)

Would like to see one in the flesh though. I'm a bit worried that it might be too much black on the front end - and once done, would be difficult to undo. I've heard that you cannot buy the plastic bonnet protectors any more - dunno if this is true or not. :confused:

Another option is have it wrapped....

This one is painted.

You could try using black plasti-dip, which will go on and form a rubber coating which although it sticks very well is very easy to peel off in big sheets when you want to do it. It is a matte finish, but mask off the top, and spray from the base (bonnet side) and it will end up as a gloss finish once you remove the masking tape.

Thanks. Good idea.

Will have a look and see if anyone in Kalgoorlie sells plasti-dip.

I built a mount to lift my antenna up to improve reception and used the ARB mount on the wing for it.

You can still get them, I purchased a tinted one a few days ago.

Thanks for that. Where did you get it if you don't mind me asking.

Your Disco looks great. I love that colour, and yours is the first I've seen in that colour with the colour matched ARB bar on it. :D

Was the "LAND ROVER" lettering on the bonnet protector when you bought it, or have you added that yourself.

Thanks BMKal, I think it looks good too.

I purchased it from here... EuroActive.com - Buy Genuine BMW & Land Rover Parts and Accessories Online and the lettering is already on it.
Shipment cost via USPS EMS was $79.95 USD. Interestingly enough it was made here in Australia somewhere?
