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!

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 Loveland, Colorado USA '08 LR2 Hers '93 740i Mine '87 944 turbo Mistress |

I think the rear spoiler would look great, I was glad to hear it's available separate from the Sport Bodykit. The spoiler and the dang roof rails (if they're ever available) and it'll be all set. Greg East Loveland, Colorado USA '08 LR2 Hers '93 740i Mine '87 944 turbo Mistress |

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.

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 ). |

Carlfraz, would you have a Website where I can order that Rear Spoiler? ColoradoLR2, did you get/had installed the Side Protection Tube through your Dealership Service Dept.? My 2008 LR2 http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v511/Mac...098429.pbw |
