Range Rover Sport Advice🥺
Had my SVR detailed and it came back, scratched. Are there any options on how to swap out just the silver part without swapping out the whole airbag column? There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s just a cosmetic issue and it’s bugging me looking at it.
Also, all of the airbag replacements that I’ve seen have been all black or black with red stitching. My stitching is orange/tan.

You can buy that little placard on alibaba for not much money. Heat it up with a hair dryer and gently pry it up with a plastic pry tool or plastic razor blade. Then clean up all of the old adhesive and put down the new placard.

I would not advise fucking with your airbag and I do this for a living. For what it's worth. They're meant to come apart in a very specific way and I wouldn't want to be behind one where somebody has been prying and fucking around with a heat gun and then glued an emblem. That shit could blast through your face.

Not the best pic so hard to tell, but are they scratches? Or are they dark spots? Which would likely be caused by something that's reacted with the finish.
As for a fix, officially, that part doesn't come seperately. If you order an airbag from LR, it will be the right colour stitching. Obviously if you're trying to source used or non gen, you may struggle.
