I feel the need to freshen up our FL2 after nearly 3 years ownership.

As some of you know, I was looking to fit the bodykit to the car. But I reckon this may not be the best way to go now. So I think I am going to buy new door panels and rear bumper and have them all colour coded like the 2010 model.

What do you think? Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

a Yes from me

coding without adding the HST bodykit gets my vote anytime  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

And it's a yes from me too . I'm actually looking at exactly the same idea, I think LR call it the premium pack but it includes the rear spoiler which I don't need. The four door bottoms plus the tiny bit behind the front wheel from LR comes primed only and are £190 inc, still waiting for a quote on the two front panels and the large rear but this includes colour coded sensors so I'm going to make sure I'm sat down for that one.
(Don't know if you have noticed but I've done the door handles like you suggested when we met up in France - you were right 10 minutes )

coding makes more sense than a body kit though, but I suspect you wont keep the car for much more than a year so why bother?

ah the expense people go to in a vain attempt to wrestle 'car of the year' from me

just fit the right wheels, no need for anything else....I even scratched my car to give you guys a fighting chance.

Just extra bits to keep clean, polish and try to keep away from sharp objects. Glad mine has not got and I would certainly not pay for them either  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I don't suppose you've considered lots and lots of chromium accesories instead

Colour code no chrome

Front Door Panels £29.66 each + VAT
Rear Door Panels £32.63 each + VAT
Wing Bottoms £14.70 each + VAT
Rear Bumper, Fully primed £207.14 + VAT

My Land Rover Dealer has quoted £450 +VAT to paint and fit all the new parts and paint the front bumper inc the bottom two grey bits.

So should all come in at under £1000 and have a rear bumper to sell later on! Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

For side panels I got £188 to your £181 so I'm OK with that. How do you think they colour code the rear sensors? a thin coat of paint ?. Your out of my league on the £1000 budget, going to look at just the car side panels first. Thanks for the good info.

I've been looking at either getting my existing door bottoms painted. A local car paint shop suggest that there are flexible paints now that can be successfully applied over/onto plastic - as most bumpers are now made this way - so worst case I would take mine off and drive around for a week or so while they were painted, or get some from a breakers yard.
Only one paint colour code for Stornoway too

Have you priced the parts up with our sponsors and Yoevil LsndRover who give members s discount Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
