I'm changing the grill on my 2007 Freelander 2 for an HSE version in black. The grill I've bought has a green badge which I want to swap for a black one but all the badges on that well know auction site are too small. Does anyone know where I can buy a genuine OEM self adhesive metal badge in black that is 105mm long by 53mm high please?
I realise I have to cut out the existing grill, what is the recommended tool for the job - just a plain hacksaw? 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 SE in Sumatra Black. 38,000 miles. Have put on 19" Evoque Style 4 Sparkle Silver wheels with 35 x 55 Pirelli Scorpion Verde tyres. Added fog light surrounds, stainless tailgate protectors and high level spoiler. New leather seat covers and chrome door handle covers; Dipped trim with dark wood effect; Re trimmed steering wheel to match seats (black with red stitching); Updated rear light units: Black painted front grill and rear door handle/light unit.

You can get small cutting discs for the Dremel type tools, alternatively you could use a multitool like the one from Bosch

Thanks Andy, but unfortunately I don't have either tool so it would add another £40 -£50 to the project - it might have to be as last resort! 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 SE in Sumatra Black. 38,000 miles.

I used the custom gels someone else suggested on here, but asked for the to be made 1mm larger and they fitted perfectly & look really smart.

Let me know if you want the link!

Hi Murgzilla, yes please the link would be useful. Thanks. 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 SE in Sumatra Black. 38,000 miles.

Hopefully the link works ok. http://www.dmb.uk.com/prod/2072/custom-order-richard-whybrow

I emailed them first so if you only want the one, they can use this template. I would advise them you'd like the larger ones 1mm larger though as some of the other guys found they came up slightly small once fitted. Mine came in perfectly.

Good luck!

Going back to the grill. All grills in 2007 were the same with the exception of the HST. But none were black.

Which grill are you refering to? Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

Thanks for the link Murgzilla, I have emailed them to order a set so I can then change all the badges.

The grill I have got Mav71 is actually in silver but I have seen them painted in black - to match my body colour in this case, which I think looks rather cool. I'm also changing the lettering back and front to gloss black, I'll end up in stealth mode eventually!! 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 SE in Sumatra Black. 38,000 miles.

Think we need pictures when your project is completed, please don't paint the wheels black though. FL2 SD4 Metropolis Auto Santorini Black / ivory completely stock.

Don't worry, my 19" Evoque alloys will definitely stay 'silver sparkle', as Land Rover describe them. Pics will follow when project complete and will include interior makeover as well. 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 SE in Sumatra Black. 38,000 miles.
