FL2 new rear end secretly exposed

The dealers dont want to lose their jobs by giving away any info on the facelifted FL2 however I managed to infiltrate the secret test track the other day and managed to get a quick photo of the revised rear end just before I was politely escorted / thrown off the premises.

Its an interesting concept and now know why the LR guys didnt want to give us any clues...............

looks perfect Thumbs Up I hope you didn't get caught or risk loosing your job

Rear wheel carrier means bigger boot and larger subwoofer or seven seats and the ladders mean i can climb up on to the roof to clean it with my yard brush (just like a LR service clean) Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Yes very nice - Obviously LR are listening to what the public wants, back to the more traditional push button chr@me door handle and that seperate door lock is just excellent Thumbs Up
Clearly a huge risk on your part Shilen and you have our thanks Bow down where did you hide the camera Shocked

Do you think is a photoshop, I have seen some in Autocar and they look exactly the same quality Neutral

Shilen has said before that they doesn't have a a computer so is unable to edit photos of the new FL2 if that's true, all her post on threads are posted to Martin and he post them, scanning in her Kodak photos prints so the forum doesn't discriminate FL2 owners without a computer.

someone has to like it

Already got the ladder fitted, looking for a spare wheel carrier.

Ok the red colour, roof spoiler and chrome exhaust trim look naff, always hated the lift up tailgate.

I think you've convinced more people than Autocars pictures ever do, don't sell yourself short. Go for the top, get a job in LRs design department. Rolling with laughter

Looking forward to this, interesting that they are also going for smaller diameter, oval wheels, probably to offset the potholes littered on our roads Thumbs Up 09 FL2 HSE auto Lago Grey
