Why ? Because I can. And I love messing with how my Land Rovers look. I'll still be keeping my other lights for when I fancy changing them back.

Looks great,
and I like your reason for changing


Joe Fix it until it's broke !

they do look good, are they the RRS style ones from Powerful ?

Must be one of the first FL2s ? Can we ask what mileage and what work has been done on it? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

I would have them if they were £90 too pricey for me, look great though, probably depends on the car colour either black, or maybe silver like mine.


I am guessing your mileage is 141,000 . . . . ..  2017 SEAT Ateca 4drive 2.0 xcellence (May 2022 -
2007 HSE with HST bodykit in Zermatt Silver 169,700 miles (dec 2016 - May 2022 )
2007 Honda Civic Type S GT (2012-2017)
2002 Mini Cooper S (2008-2012)
1992 Honda Legend 3.2i (2003-2008)
1990 Honda Concerto (1999-2003)
1985 Honda Accord (1997-1999)
1983 Honda Accord (1993-1997)
1983 Mini Mayfair (1988-1993)
1974 Mini 1000 (1979-1986)

Taken years off the car!  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion

MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s

Yep, 140500 miles. (DVLA MOT check is your friend , I always check it when looking at buying a new car).
However, despite the high mileage, it had full LR Main Dealer service history. A History that included a brand new engine fitted at 114000, along with new diff, Haldex and most other parts that seem to let go after the 100K mark.
So far nearly all my mods have been purely cosmetic - the HST bodykit, colour coded mirror caps, black intake grilles and wheels. I've fitted 30mm wheel spacers which make it feel more planted on the road and I can now straddle speed bumps !

I have plans to fit other stuff - but not just cosmetically. For instance I have no need for rear seats. Anyone who knows me - and there's at least one member on here that does, knows how far I can take modifications. So if I take the rear seats out I'd be looking at replacing them with tubular steel , if you get my drift.
I have a sump and fuel tank guard ready to fit, but the sump guard won't fit with the HST kit, and in my opinion doesn't do a good enough job anyway. I'm planning on having a guard fabricated that covers what the original under tray covers at the very least. Then there's the lift kit. But I want to fit uprated springs and shocks first.
I've also spoken to people about having a new exhaust done, one that does away with that massive rear silencer. In fact that will probably be my next mod once a design is worked out. I want it loud enough that people know it's not a diesel, but not ASBO loud. Just enough to release that lovely straight 6 burble.
I've toyed with the idea of making it a 3 door - but that would take too much fabrication. I don't want to just weld up the rear doors !!
Light pod I already have. This will be making an appearance once other mods have been completed first.

They look nice and not too dissimilar to mine:

Mine are standard but I used vinyl wrap to black them out...... so only cost a couple of £'s. FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

Muddy Mods (on facebook) are now doing a lift kit that is tried and tested, and also appear to be doing custom exhausts. They seem to get good reviews on quality and service.

wonder if Alive tuning do a remap for the i6..... now that could be interesting

I think that ebay seller is a powerfuluk.co.uk site judging by the format of the sales pages.

they are nice looking lights for the FL2 depending on the body colour I guess

It is indeed Powerful UK

Yes Rog, Warren at MuddyMods bought up the last of my Freelander 1 stuff and I've kept in touch with him ever since. I'll be buying a lift kit just as soon as I can find a garage here to fit it - I no longer have the facilities at my disposal any more to do the job myself and don't fancy doing it on my neighbours drive in the autumn/winter. Unlike my younger days when I changed a series gearbox on my own in 6" of snow !!
Warren's (MuddyMods) stuff is all first class. I highly recommend it.
