Watching them on eBay at the moment , as soon as I knew the face lift bumper was a straight swap I was on eBay quicker than usain bolt , I'd be more excited to be driving that black number or getting |

Nar I just brought a random bumper off eBay and got a friend to paint it in his body shop, cost me around 150 in total with the fogs but I need to get the wiring loom, I decided to get all the grille silver instead of the dark grey outer just to be about different, maybe leather retrim next but I need some1 to fit me a TomTom retro style |

A leather retrain is a great idea. It is a must if you can afford it. |

Good effort!!!! But for me, the colour coded grill is a bit too much. I would have left it grey. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come......... |

I like it mate however I agree with mav about the grill When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car |

Yea I thought about that, but as the outer grill was quite badly scuffed and I was inpatient I did wanna wait for for the Stornoway to dry then the grey grille to dry then the silver to dry, I asked my mate to just spray the lot silver, some times I look I think its good as its so much better than the old shape, then other times I look its seems abit much, its only a 20 pound job to rectify, but what do u guys think about black grilles and vents on a Stornoway ? Also a 20 pound job shud I dare try? |

TBH, I'm not a fan of black grilles or side vents, it looks great as it is. All you need now is some colour coded mirror caps. |

I've got a 2008 HSE and would like to do this mod. Is all that I need just a bumper and grill - or does the grill come attached to the bumper? Will my washers, PDC sensors and spots fit directly into the later bumper? Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

I'd like to get a facelift SD4 HSE for my next car but that will have to be in a year or two. You'll have to wait until the FL3 comes out before you can think of any mods! Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
