United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 i6 HSE Auto Sumatra Black

This was JC Junior's , rumoured to have cost £75 to build. but sold for only £4000 after failing to sell at a well known car auction house due to the body kit being held together with cable ties and super glue. It's fibre glass and had been removed and fitted so many times that the fibre glass gave up the ghost as it doesn't flex.
The engine was shot, the Evoque seats never worked and the flappy paddle gearbox was always breaking down.

Craddock's were touting the B-Block body kit a couple of years ago. Give them a call- they may still be able to help.
However, they still had to order the kit from the Ukraine IIRC.

I’m a friend of Johnathon’s and I didn’t really like the bodykit tbh. I always felt that the dynamic styling pack was suffice. But he liked it and that’s the main thing Thumbs Up MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

I certainly liked the bonnet and the rear end, and even contemplated buying the kit myself,but it did look kind of tacky in the flesh, so to speak. The body kit is £2000 + shipping plus painting which makes it very expensive and that doesn't include the bonnet. I can spend that sort of cash on more important (to me now) upgrades like full underbody protection (MuddyMods have this in the pipeline) and making the vehicle more off road oriented, as this is the direction I have now taken. I'm even working on my own front bumper that offers a better approach angle.
But again, it's what the individual wants to do, it's their car and their cash after all. If it's your thing Switch, then go for it. Thumbs Up
