Thanks norfie (for your comment and the inspiration on the grill surround), dorsetfreelander and ad210358.

Obviously sitting in it I cannot see those changes but when I approach it or leave it parked it makes me smile, and I always have to look back when I leave it parked!
- I do the same.

I think the silver surround just gives a little extra 'lift' to the front. I will also fit the chrome fog light surrounds and tow eye cover at some stage.

You can also add the chrome grill trim to complete the MY14 look.
I simply bought a roll of exterior stick-on 5mm chrome trim for a fiver off eBay and stuck it on (using heat on the bends).
Oh and I added alu metal tape on the tow eye cover edge.

Brings it bang up to date for me. Thumbs Up

I had a go at undoing the welds but there are quite a few and I was worried I may not be able to weld them back. It would be bumper off though... 2010MY 2.2 e4 (gone but, not forgotten)

The grill surround comes off quite easily with out removing the bumper Nut. Even better in cold weather as the weld tabs are brittle. Then simply use the same lack adhesive as they use for windscreens and you'll be OK. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather.

Is there any metal structure inside the front bumper you have to change or is the bumper shell all you need to buy?

I'm sure if there was a metal structure to replace it would have been mentioned in the numerous facelift posts, have a search to find out Wink Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
