Thxs guys, that makes me feel a bit more confident Thumbs Up I don't want to go too far but i am partial to the black grill look and in Australia we didn't get the Dynamic so it would be quite unique. In fact not seen 1 other FL2 with a black grill here in Perth.


I was in melbourne the other day and a white Dynamic went fyling past me at the airport - its the only one i've seen though.

Looks good. I'm tempted too - would look good on white.

That said.. im probably going to want to trade it in in 2 year for a disco Sport so... i'm really not sure...


I think you'll find it was a Sport limited Edition as the Dynamic was never sold in Australia. Just the body kit! MY15

It was similar to the dynamic Infact predecessor, had a contrasting strip in the seat and "Sports" in the front and rear head restraints. Otherwise pretty much basic spec MY15

Unfortunately it just goes to ALIEXPRESS home page!
Is it the Chinese body kit?
Not heard great feedback about it!
$3000 is a bargain, I was quoted in excess of 4k!
Just be aware that fitting the body kit really affects you approach and departure angles so severely limits your of road ability unless you don't mind ripping parts of ya body kit off! Laughing MY15

I think there's a few threads on here about it, I think it's ok but not a good a fit as the OE LR.
Me! I'd only put the OE LR kit on!

Lol.
I've been speaking a guy in Manly who is selling some wheels. He's only fitted the front and Rear aprons to his car...
I actually think the stock skirts are better - they are wider. But... Not as legit.

Well this is awkward.. That is my car. haha.

Stuart, been thinking about the D pillars for ages, haven't moved on it as yet mainly because I'm nervous sanding back the texture to a smooth surface, is that what you did or can you buy them without any texture so the plastic is smooth and ready to paint?

Ps. I only have the front skirt (don't want the others), yep it's from LR, and yep it massively changes your approach angle but looks way way better so it is worth it. The grill was painted Santorini black and definitely intend to do the D pillar the same. 2011 black FL2

You can sand them down as you have said or have them wrapped in a clear film and then painted. Saves the sanding and it's quite a popular method when painting the D pillars on the L322! MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
