2013 FL2 front upper grill options

Hi
As the title states are there any options to fit a different grill ? I’ve not found any aftermarket grills so was just wondering if there is actually any options out there .
Thanks

Not to my knowledge. There is an HST 'stormer' grille for the pre-facelift FL2, which you fit by basically just chopping out the original one and sticking the new one in (!), but haven't seen anything for later models.

What exactly it it that you're after?

Ah ok I did see the HST type for the preface but couldn’t see that being a straight forward swap lol , I’ve no idea what I want lol was just seeing if anything was actually made for them .
Cheers for reply

No. You can change the colour but that's a lot of work. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Fair enough ... I give up then lol , I only asked as the silver parts on my grill are starting to show their age but I will repaint it at some point when I’m getting a few little bits of bodywork seen too ... thanks

As others say "Johnny - I'm sorry ..... it's a NO"



These are the two styles of bumper/grille. Be it HST and Dynamic lower bumper trim.





Factory OEM - you could stick a chrome panel to the early grille.



Factory OEM - They did make a Styling Cover for the early grille.

Factory OEM - ONLY option for your model was this bumper Styling Cover.

I think this is why owners paint the grille to suit their taste.





You could add after market Beauty Ring to lamps supplied by China.

Any pictures of the finished article? The only part on mine causing me annoyance is the chrome effect strip around the bottom and sides of the grill which is discolouring. Have you painted or replaced it? Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Hi,
I would have liked to "Black pack" the front grill but as Lightwater says its a lot of work if you want to remove the bumper to then spray it Sad

Might go the same route as Gundog Question then again may just not bother now Laughing

I think a Black grill does look good

Thumbs Up .
my first ever FL2 and I did keep it longer than most other cars!
But its now gone way up Norf

My grille had the same problem on the silver surround so I toyed with the idea of just painting the outer part but decided to paint the whole thing and the wing vent grilles as well, I'me glad I did as I think the end result suits the car.

Or you could just have bought a Dynamic (preferably black!) - side vents & grille are black from the factory Thumbs Up

And yes - I agree they very much do suit the car Gundog (especially a black vehicle) - as do the bumpers on the dynamic IMHO 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 Manual Dynamic
