I can see them in the design room making the the body kit, and trying to think of names when somebody said High Strength Tape and they thought the HST sounded sporty. Confused

Lucky it wasn't been put on with a Copydex Glue

They would only sell one, and it will come in all colours as long as it is black, no towbar and belted boot handle Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Thumbs Up And a very happy driver. knowing it is truly the Freelander of all Freelanders. Its a shame 'C' isnt available as a rear badge otherwise mine would indeed be a TD4 XS CG.
Unfortunately all 'CG' models would also come with a little scratch on the rear door caused by ignorant door openers Evil or Very Mad


edit. are disCovery badges the same as FL2 ones? combine that with the G from a GS and you have CG Cool At work

Haha (and a hacksaw is an acceptable method of modifying parts) I thought the same as I'm in the process of getting some bits of body kit. LR obviously did not think about any sort of body kit in the original design and tried to design easy to replace bolt on parts. Phil

Saw away, you can always get a new bumper if you mess up Shocked or if a hacksaw is to slow :-



The XS CG comes with a style pack on the front seat, but only when I am driving Laughing At work
