UPGRADE Wooden TRIMS on Land Rover LR4 Discovery 4

Hi! Do you think the wooden trims in your Land Rover Discovery 4 or LR4 looks a little old-fashioned?
This episode is about upgrading the interior with a vinyl car wrapping foil in our Land Rover Discover 4 or Land Rover LR4!
Over time, the wood trim were bleached out and so I had 3 different colors in my car. And as you know me, what I thought of the mismatched color of the grille and side air intake, I had to redo that! :)
At first - before I didn't know I was going to remove the door cards - I thought I would remove the trim, sand it down and re-veneer it. But when I found that the wood of the trim was covered with a thick layer of plastic, I let it go.
So the next plan was to foil the wood panels with a 3M 2080 M211 Matte Charcoal Metallic. At first, I was just going to remove the center console pieces and foil them. But as I found out, I also had to remove all 4 door panels to get a good result! So I disassembled the door cards with the wooden panels as well.
That took a lot longer than I thought it would, and that's why the video is a lot longer, as I said.
But for me personally, the interior of the car now looks much more modern than before and I really love the new look of the old wood trim!

Beautiful job. Thank you.

[@wlipsc]

Thanks for making the tutorial. Looks great. Way better than the dated wood grain. I have wrapped several things on my LR4 but this gives me inspiration to do the wood panels too.

[@notthatkindofachannel]

Hello Wesley, you’re welcome! 😊 What other things have you already wrapped? Many greetings, Peter

[@allycruick1]

Great video ! Ian going to do this myself now. Thank you.

[@notthatkindofachannel]

@Alastair Cruickshank Glad the video could help! In my opinion, it's not the removal of the trim that does most of the work. It's the foiling, especially if you've never done it before. My recommendation, buy enough foil 😄

[@franlrd8177]

Good job, and very good information. Thank you!!

[@notthatkindofachannel]

@Fran LRD Thank you! I'm glad if you found helpful information. ☺️

[@edwinot]

Omg I have your same car and I LOVE how this looks. I'm doing it too, lol! Thank you for the incredible suggestions and inspiration.

[@notthatkindofachannel]

@Edwin Otero Thanks 🙏🏻 It's a bit of work, but it's worth the effort 😊

[@tillertiller5037]

I like the wood in mine. I've never really liked wood in cars before but personally i really like it in mine. Maybe I'm gettling old 😂! That said, you definitely did the right thing, i wouldn't have been able to cope with the different coloured woods like you had. Bit of a mismatch.

[@notthatkindofachannel]

Hey! Maybe I'll take the foil off again and sand the wood and stain it a different colour like maybe grey or something ☺️ All the best, Peter

[@sakomaleksetian2774]

Beautiful I like how you did Weldon 👍

[@notthatkindofachannel]

[@alessandror1979]

[@discoveryadventures2296]

Nice job Peter

[@notthatkindofachannel]

Thanks Peter!

[@mzk6550]

Very nice!!

[@notthatkindofachannel]

@Mz K Thanks 🙏🏻

[@r0cket0710]

That came out amazing! The new grey one is so much more modern. I have the piano black in mine. The steering wheel control surrounds are piano black as well.

[@notthatkindofachannel]

@Roversource Yes, I thought about doing it black too. But I would have chosen matte black I think.

[@iacubus]

perfect job, looks excellent, much better than original trim

[@notthatkindofachannel]

Thanks 😊

[@foosmith15]

I love the look. I’m not a fan of the wood look so this is an interesting project.

[@LandRover4]

👌👌

[@vDutchAus]

Looks great and brilliant instructions! One question though, is there a reason you have your snorkel inlet on backwards?

[@notthatkindofachannel]

Hello @Mark! There are two reasons why the inlet of the snorkel points backwards: 1. less dust gets into the air filter 2. because the system is completely sealed, it would be bad if rainwater would get in.

[@micheleghedini3609]

mine has the Meteor trim (I hate it) maybe I'll paint all the trims in the same external Scotia Grey color !

[@notthatkindofachannel]

I also thought about painting the wood trim on my new one with Scotia Grey! But I don't want to remove the door cards 😄

[@geraldsmith6398]

Was that 3M™ DI-NOC™ Architectural Finishes film you used? Thanks

[@notthatkindofachannel]

Hey Gerald! No this was a => 3M 2080-M211 Matte Charcoal Metallic

[@antoniodelrosario1755]

How much vinyl did you buy?

[@sahanmudalige2191]

Hi There I have a LR-4 2016, Lights in gear nob outer rim and letters(P,R,N,D,S) is not working. Any idea how to change them? Thanks

[@notthatkindofachannel]

Hi, currently I can only think of either disassembling the whole unit and replacing the LEDs if necessary, or what is certainly easier, to replace them completely. Many greetings

[@ShockWaveGamings234fg321f]

When u put it back to the base modle colors

[@notthatkindofachannel]

Which kind of color do you mean exactly? If you mean the interior I don’t think that I’ll put them back,

[@antoniodelrosario1755]

What is the special tool? 9:26

[@astrogreenarrow]

Would this work on a 2011 lr4

[@notthatkindofachannel]

Hey @astrogreenarrow! Yes for sure 👍🏻

[@leerolfe5332]

Much better. Don't like the wood in my Discovery
