Was in the dealer this afternoon collecting my car and there was an HST in the showroom. Didn't see where the extra money was and don't rate the bodykit much. It did have the the rear spoiler and I have always thought it looks good. It appears to be secured by two clips which look easily installed. What I want to know is is it that simple and can you purchase one separately and in the correct colour?

I purchased mine separately from the dealer. It came primed and the dealer painted it for me. The paint job costed as much as the spoiler. But it really gives a good finish to the rear end.

You can get them separately from Dealers and they also appear on ebay. The fitting involves two brackets and 3m adhesives. I am about to get mine painted and fitted next week and the paint shop doing it is that used by the local LR dealer and are doing the painting and fitting for much less than the cost of the spoiler off ebay.

Deos the spoiler have any pratical use, like deflecting rain from the rear glass or is there proven advantages when driving at high speed or is it just for looks
Personally if its only for looks, I would have thought the extra expence would be better spent on something more exclusive like the Titanium colour 19" alloys and matching Titanium door handels for example  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc.

Spoiler mainly for looks. I've just done a 300 mile round trip from Devon to Oxford and did not notice any difference in handling.

Regarding how it is held on, the 3M tape does the main job with the small brackets making sure if any small children dangle off it, it stays in place long enough for you to get them with the rear wiper!

See my gallary for picks of mine. Had it installed by Stealer. Total Job was £325 which included £75 for fitting!!! I was happy to pay for fitting as it is one of those things, if you do not get it on straight, the 3m tape is so stickey it is not coming off and would look real naff.

Maybe a live 12volt wire along the outer edge might discourage that  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I would say mainly for looks, but due to the shallow angle of the rear window and teh overhang of the spoiler probably does keepthe window slightly cleaner....maybe!!

Now I wonder why you cannot be sure with all the rain and snow you get over there  FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER

Thanks for the replies I think I will have to earn some pennies and buy one.

Anyone got a good quote for one? local stealer asking £300, painted but without fitting and I don't want to send any more money their way. Phil

when i got a price from 'the large one' (on disco 3) he quoted £140'ish from memory

i had the chap who repaired my car scratch give me a quote and he said i would be looking at £50 for painting

fitting on my own

just need to buy one now, Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

sounds about right for a primed spoiler, just that painting will be £160  Phil

see if there is any mobile type spray people around, non franchised should work out alot less

if your near leeds i can give you my chaps number  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
