At Assetti Performance, enhancing vehicles with precision and style is more than just a job, its a passion, and nothing makes us feel more passionate than seeing a build this stunning come to life! This awe inspiring Defender 110 came to us already wrapped in a visually striking bronze shade, and we had the exciting task of taking it a few steps further with a suite of gloss black and matte black upgrades.

Preparation: A Meticulous Start

Before we started fitting any parts to the car, we took some before photos of the vehicle so the customer could see the before and after. Following that, a full exterior wash was conducted to remove any trapped dirt that could get trapped underneath the fitted parts. This step ensured that every component sat perfectly on the vehicle without any obstructions and prevents dirt from eating into the paint, or in this case wrap, over time. Once the vehicle was dried and inspected we got cracking and started fitting the parts.

Gloss Black & Matte Black Enhancements

The contrast between the deep gloss black and the bright bronze wrap created an undeniably bold and aggressive aesthetic.

• LED Roof Light & LED Grille Light – These high-intensity lights not only add a modern touch but also significantly enhance visibility. Mounted with precision, they integrate seamlessly into the Defender’s rugged front end, giving it an imposing stance when illuminated.
• Gloss Black Wide Arch Kit – The wider arches complement the Defender’s tough look, accentuating its muscular build. The gloss black finish against the bronze wrap provides a striking contrast, making the vehicle appear more dynamic and commanding.
• Gloss Black Roof Spoiler – This addition enhances both aerodynamics and aesthetics. Sitting proudly above the rear window, the deep black finish adds a sleek touch that ties in perfectly with the other upgrades.
• Matte Black Union Jack Side Steps – A nod to British heritage, these steps not only serve a practical purpose but also bring a sophisticated matte black element to the mix. The subtle finish ensures they blend effortlessly while still standing out as a unique detail.
• Matte Black Mud Flaps – Function meets style with these mud flaps, preventing debris from kicking up while adding to the Defender’s off-road-ready appearance. The matte black finish complements the other elements, ensuring a cohesive design.

Final Touches & The Big Reveal

With all components securely fitted and double-checked, we gave the Defender one final wipe-down to remove any fingerprints or installation residue. Stepping back from within the photo bay, we admired how the gloss black elements created a perfect contrast against the golden bronze wrap. The interplay between gloss and matte finishes added depth to the vehicle’s overall design. The lights and wide stance adding power to the whole look, making it a true showstopper.
