Thought everyone might be interested in seeing what the chrome protection tubes and mirror covers look like mounted on a black car. Not sure what the tubes will protect me from, but I do like how they look!

looks good. I think they suit black well. Not too bling either.

Thanks, I debated long and hard on the mirror covers. I wish there were more of a brushed aluminum (aluminium in this forum?) than chrome, to better match the side grills and not be quite as shiny. That said, as hard as I try to keep the car clean, there always seems to be a layer of dust on them, which keeps the shine down, LOL!

I think the roof rails will really finish it off...if they ever are available. Greg East

Hi ColoradoLR2, looks nice! Do you happen to know how you install the mirror covers? Is there some kind of adhesive tape or are they permanently fixed?

Nice ColoradoLR2, black would have been too much black, I got away with my black tubes on Stornaway grey but you choose my friend. How about the rear spoiler just to finish of the rear end?? I paid £293 GBP (CAN $645) supply painted and fitted

Thanks The instructions call for them to be glued (glue not included) I decided to use heavy duty double sided tape...in case I decided I didn't like them. They've been on for 3 weeks now and so far so good. Greg East

Like you I am waiting for roof rails, I just cannot believe they did not coincide the release of an 'SUV' without having the roof rails. I am just glad I am not using the car this year for our summer holiday as I always take a roof box.

I hope the rails come out before the kids summer break from school as we would like to go out with our bikes.

If anybody knows an update on the roof rails we'd love to hear!!

Same here Carl. I was told by my dealer that the roof rails code is still 'locked' by land rover, whatever this might mean. I did read somewhere that due to a manufacturing problem they had to delay the roof rails release. It's certainly a big issue (I have my friends carry my windsurfing equipment I hope that I won't have to pay them back with extreme off-roading in my Freelander although I'm sure it would cope with almost anything ).

i posted this same question in a new thread already, but ill put it here anyway...

does anyone know where i can find black painted mirror covers for top and bottom? 08 Black on Black LR2
