Hallo everyone

I was just wondering why there isnt many people using chrome accessories on their car . Is it because they use it for off roading,is it a question of taste,priorities on what to spend the money on,the quality of the chrome or any other reason. Please tell me Im curious
I have to admit that I have just bought the door handle covers , the front grill top,fog light surroundings trunk lid moulding,upper mirror cups and for the door handles inside . Have a nice weekend and please dont hesitate to have your say  "57" HSE automatic in black with black leather,tinted glas,Alpina hifi and a lot of extra accessories,chrome handle in and outside,chrome foglight+mirrorcaps+boothandle.Topspoiler

Looks crap with stick on tat....

I'm afraid that LandRover means to build vehicles which feel allright in the country, not in a (sub)urban rappers and gangsta'world, otherwise they also would have put spinners on the accessorylist...
In the feel all the glitter and glamour will stand out like a red flag in a filed full of bulls!
But perhaps the Freelander2 appeals also to a quite different group of customers...

Ah the straight answer and the Guardian one.

All a matter of taste, after all some people still buy grey cars
I've never seen one with all the chrome bits on so please post some pics so we can all have a look

I considered chrome side pipes, but decided on plain black.
My Ford Ranger is quite blinged as standard, Chrome bumpers Grill, mirror and side pipes..But the paintwork is silver so it doesn't show to much. Chrome does seem louder when on a black vehicle. At work

Hallo to you all

It is nice to hear other peoples opinion on this theme , we are all different in taste and style . Otherwise we would all drive in the same cars.
I will admit that the reason we bought the freelander 2 is because it looks great,drives better than most cars,the quality of interior ( I havent found any faults yet ) and is very safe as well.We ( my wife and me ) are more to a " stylish " car than the mud but again its a question of taste.

I will recive my chrome accessories this week and I will of course take some pictures before and after so you can see the difference.But you have to wait until after the 10/08 because Im abroad working until then.

You CG have a point that you cant see the chrome on a silver coloured car but I think it will look smashing on my black baby

I will look forward to hear more opinions about the subject.Have a nice evening to you all "57" HSE automatic in black with black leather,tinted glas,Alpina hifi and a lot of extra accessories,chrome handle in and outside,chrome foglight+mirrorcaps+boothandle.Topspoiler

As the colour "black"in the interior of my Freely 2 is lacking some lush I have decided to add a little shine to it and bought the chrome inner door handle covers from Powerful UK. Fast shipping to Germany, and after unpacking fit and finnish of the door handle covers proved to be excellent. Powerful UK supplies some addl. glue with the handle covers, but I recommend that addl. (Scotch) sticky tape is used if you like to keep the option open to remove the chrome door handle covers at one point of time. One more advise: the temperature of the surface of the door handles when applying the chrome covers should be around plus 30 degrees C. If colder, the covers may not stick to where they are supposed to stick.
My first concern that the chrome door handle covers may create some disturbance in the sun proved not to be void. The increase in better looks is of course very personal, but I am happy with my adventure, and would buy them again.

Hi Maersk, if you have bought the (outer) door handle covers from Powerful UK they are made from stainless steel. Please advise as to the fit and finish and the feel and rubustness of the covers.

Thanks

can't have chrome bling - it would scare the horses.
The Mrs reckons the best add-on accessory for an FL2 is lots of prime Yorkshire mud splattered up the windows so there's no possibility of it being confused with a chelsea tractor.
Not quite sure how the side steps and privacy glass go with this image but it seems to work for her.  07 Freelander 2 TD4SE Tambora Flame, side steps, privacy glass, mud flaps, boot liner and a tow bar. Ok it's the Wifes but she lets me drive it occasionally - if I've been good!
