Firstly, thanks to a member on here messaging me on ebay, I have found the forum and joined straight away! Hope fully I will get to know you as time goes by, but heres a few pics of my Freelander 2 and a bit on what I have done to it.

The first picture is when it was sitting in the showroon ready for collection towards the beginning of 2007.

It is an HSE TD4, with the zenon AFL, Privacy Glass and full size spare as factory options.

Since I have owned it, I have carried out a few modifications to bring it into line with what I like. Everything where possible is bought from from the Land Rover parts bin,

Modifications

Side Steps
Side Mouldings
Sports Front Grill
Clear Side Repeaters (Non Genuine)
Body Colour Door Mirror Housings
Front and Rear Mudflaps
Discovery 3 Body Colour Door Handles
Dual Branch Exhaust
Rear Spoiler
19" HSE/HST Shadow Chrome Alloy Wheels
Premium Pack Storage Cubby
Removable Towbar and Electrics
6 Disc DVD Player and Headrest Mounted Screens using AUX for sound
Silvertech indicater bulbs


Future plans are to have the bottom trim painted like the Premium Pack cars.

Hope you like it!

looks nice

What benefits do you get with the twin exhaust, more BHP or is it just for looks

IMO i wouldn't have bothered making it look like a US import by changing the badge to LR2

I thought about changing the sills and front & rear bumper into body colour, even went and bought a second set of sills, but decided that it wouldn't look right, unless it was fitted with the bodykit Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

You won't gain any real BHP with the twin exhaust, I just thought the standard drooper looked quite sad, and after looking into the parts from the i6, it was an easy conversion and I think it looks much better.

The main reason I have decided to colour code the botton half, is that it's going to be standard on HSE for 2009 MY and it was optional this year on HSE with premium pack.

But thanks for the comments guys. Seems like a really good site after hving a good look around this afternoon.  Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

yeah right I enjoy a good bitch slap from the mod every now and again. Also he looks quite stocky and I don't fancy a fist fight in Keilder forest It hurts my fist when I have to put big guys down

mav have a ;look into the G-Net unit, which you could also use for a reversing camera

As a after thought on the towbar and exhausts

If you use the towbar for towing something like a caravan with the i6 exhaust silencers it could be rather sooty with them pointing straight out instead of at the floor  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I towed our caravan down to the spanish border in the summer and to be honest we did'nt get any sooty dirt on the front of the caravan. I have always thought the 2.2 TD4 is a pretty clean engine when under load with next to nothing coming out of the back.

Not like our old crappy Passat TDi, it was like having a cloking device!!!

I'll look into the Gnet unit though, sounds interesting!!  Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

Hi Mav71,

Glad you visited the site after my email via ebay. Did you sell your 18" HSE wheels? i was very interested, just a bit far to travel for me an a little more than i really wanted to pay.

I do like the 19" wheels on your car thought. Best pic ive seen of freelander 2 with 19" wheels on.

I think the lower sills in body colour would look great, espaecially with chrome side tubes.

Adrian.

Hi snairda, there not sold yet, loads of watchers each time, but I am not in any rush to be honest. they are mint so won't give them away. If it takes a few months or so it doesn't really matter.

Glad you gave me the link to this site though, really usefull site. Thanks for the comments on the car as well. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

Did you have the Factory Fitted privacy glass, or was it the film done by the dealer?
