I was wondering if anybody installed a front bumper cover (that plastic thing that can be bought as accessory) on a 2011 Freelander 2. I am interested both in the original LandRover part or an aftermarket. I am curios how it looks like and if it offers any real protection, specially for offroading.

Many thanks!

They look crap really! Also you have to remove the bumper to fit the unit and drill holes.

Too harsh - you can't even see the caravan  2002 Honda VFR800

2000 Toyota Celica 140 Silver - Gone
1998 Toyota Celica ST Pearl Green - Gone

Thanks a lot George! As my Freelander is also silver, the picture helps a lot!

@Simon: does not look so bad in my view. I believe the fitting will be done by the dealer, so no complications from my side...

Off-topic: George, are you from Romania? I see the car is registered in Galati - my hometown

its Matei's car he was often on here a few years ago. he may have moved to England ?

The ice-cream would be Gelato and that is Italian. Galati is actually pronounced Galatsi (with ts like in tsunami). And ice-cream in Romanian is "inghetata", which you can imagine is quite different

And their football team won 1st place in Romania last season, so they're quite hype right now
