Good right up and guide

Looks nice too  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I have a question. Why would anyone spend time and money to have that grille? It looks so much worse to me!
Whereas the original grille is so impressive with its kind of Ranger Rover style, the HST grille looks somehow cheap.
Does anyone really prefer this look or is it just the fun to modify things?

I think it depends on the cars colour, personally I do like the HST grill, but prefer the original one on my car  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Let them change their grills Hojo it simply makes our cars look better and we keep our £72 to spend on good stuff At work

Maybe it is just the fun to modify things but my guess it is that it desire to look different from the crowd, which could be caused by an inferior complex .
However I quite like the HST grill , but won’t be fitting one on my HSE, as nobody here would notice the difference any way  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc.

I sure as hell won't be fitting one on mine.

I just can't believe that you have to hacksaw the old one out and stick the new one in with double-sided sticky tape.

Like Chris, i fitted the sports kit myself, starting with the grill Fairly straight forward, and you don't have to be that tidy when cutting the old grill out as the new grill fits inside the nice big whole you make!

As for fitting the rest of the kit, it would be useful to have another set of hands available, especially when fitting the rear lower spoiler as it's one single piece..

The adhesive it pretty potent stuff too... make sure you are on the money before pushing the body parts home as i doubt you will get a 2nd chance.

There are some photo's of fitting the kit in my gallery if interest.

I am 100% agree with hoju.

However, Chris8of9 has provided a good photo instruction. LR Freelander2 2,2 Td4 HSE manuel Stornaway Grey (Metallic) & Ebony Black Leather & Sun/Moon-roof & Bi-Xenon & Roof Rails & Tow bar & Body side rubbing strips & Cold climate pack & Privacy glass & NavTeq .

Sorry, but I have changed to Defender 90 ", and I love my" tractor ".

Do not want to change the grille on my SE auto but need to access the area behind it so we can fit an electronic two tone sounder to warn all the dozy rally spectators that we are coming through as we nearly hit one on The Cambrian rally in Penmachno forest last month. T
The FL2 is so much quieter than the rally cars and we travel the stages to check them at least an hour before the first competitor so they are still half asleep.
Any words/pictures that help would be much appreciated.

Chris,

Many thanks for the info. Sorry for delay in replying.
Looks like a job for when the weather gets better as cannot get car into garage as door not high enough plus full of junk.

Thanks again.

I fitted this to mine, it was very easy as described. I like the old grill but fitted the sports one to be different, I think it is a nice change to have one without the rest of the sport styling pack. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather.
