My 2018 Disco 5 has what appeared to be a paint issue but having been to the body shop it is a fading of the plastic door surround to both wing mirrors. I have raised with Jaguar land rover but am not making much progress as they are suggesting it as wear and tear which is somewhat strange as on this basis all the other plastic panels will have faded as well. The car is black and these panels are also supplied black but they have now changed colour to blue!!!!!! If it was wear and tear all the other black plastic would also have changed colour to blue. To change the panels is not cheap as the plastic panels are supplied with the wing mirror and electronics cost £500 each side.

Has anyone else had a similar experience and if so what was the solution/outcome?

Exactly the same on my just purchased 2018 HSE, both sides ???? A bit odd looking but I'm not shelling out on replacements. I may get a quote for a respray

Hi, just wondering what the outcome to this situation was as my black discovery has exactly the same issue. The panels around the mirrors have also turned blue……

Same on my 2018 santorini black disco.
I have decided to live with it.

Same on mine too, anyone found somewhere to get new ones without all the mirror bits for a decent price?

Failing that I guess it’s a respray job

My 2017 HSE is suffering with exactly the same issue. Mine are not blue yet but they’re definitely not black anymore. I haven’t raised it with Landrover (life’s to short) and will probably just get them painted
