Mav, love the facelift on your FL2, but why did you have to make the other FL2 parked next to it look like a Merc?

Might be helpful to others if they can see the 'old' type bumper against the 2011 one.

Surprising what you can get from amazon!

Very Nice is the new bumper the same shade of black?

Yes, says Santorini Black on it anyway. There is also a sticker saying it's not a new item.

It's never been used and as clean as a whislte, you just take a chance of the few scrapes that caused it to be disposed of this way to start with. The ones on this bumper are superficial, near the drivers side. 3/4 scrapes which should polish out.

10forcash enabled my front sensors, but without the new bumper on, it let out a constant drone cos it was looking for the sensors and not finding them, so got confused is the way he told me, so he took it back to rears only. I'll put it on when the weather gets better and fit it up for the front sensors and then 10forcash can enable them again.

Until I put the old and new bumper together, I didn't appreciate the difference.

Mav, anymore details, like an idiot guide of detatching and replacing bumper please?

The sensors should work as soon as you plug them in. Thats if you have sensors on the orignal bumper of course. They don't need to be activated. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

No, they weren't there on the original bumper. I think if I change the ECU to the double 12 pin one, I'll be in with a shout. It will be able to be retroed.
