You will need to remove front bumper and drill the holes to fit ,remember mark out twice drill once!!!
no plate screws on top again.

England 2009 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Auto Zermatt Silver

I bought and fitted the "front styling cover" to our Fl and must agree that it is not the prettiest thing you will see but it does have its uses. Supermarket and golf club car parks for one as it keeps the t Censored s from getting too close.
I bought mine from John Craddocks for £45 new on Ebay and fitted it myself. They are a pig to fit as the front bumper and grill plus lights have to come off. As previously stated measure twice and drill once. It took me virtually the whole day to fit it but most of that was trying to find where a couple of the screws were that held the bumper on. The ones that defetaed me for a time were located down below the headlight assemblies near the out side. You will need a flexible drive PZ2 screwdriver for those. Good Luck! Ralph

Do you have a picture to show after the installation? Also, can the front sensor still function? Coz two of the front sensors will be covered by the front bumper lower portion, did you drill a hole to work around this problem? Hope we are talking about the same item!! (model nos LR003319 Front bumper styling).

BlackLR, I will photo the front of the car for you when I can a little later this week. If your car is black it will look super but my car is Zermatt and whilst I have said that it is not the prettiest thing you will see it does do its job.
You will need to take the front sensors from the front bumper and drill two more holes in the styling cover to place them. There is enough cable to reach forward though. I will post picture asap. Ralph
