2008 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Auto Santorini Black

Hey,

How much did it cost you to add the extras?

I'm considering the privacy and steps myself.

Thanks,
Argo.

i would look on ebay or call one of the site sponsors for the side steps, you should be able to get a discount. Thumbs Up

"The Large One" on Disco3 can supply as well and some of the others on her have fitted them themselves and say its not too difficult.

The privacy glass might be worth while giving the RRSport site sponsor a call

Welcome and good choice, colour and spec. When you've got her with the retro-fit Alpaca leather, please post some pics and tell us how good a job they've made of it. It will probably be better than the LR offerings and ALL leather, rather than leather+vinyl. Thumbs Up Was GS TD4 Auto, Privacy, Santorini with Tundra & Alpaca, Cold Climate Pack. Traded for Discovery Sport HSE Auto.

Thanks I can't wait, I got all the extras fitted by the dealer so have probably paid a bit more than if I'd bought off ebay but this was offset by a great part ex price on my Audi A4 avant which I just couldn't shift privately and a great deal on the FL2 as sales are slow and it was the end of the month!

I'll post pics when I get them...

I've been trying to order an armrest from Wood Company as recommended but they have not got back to me, did anyone ring them direct?

i just need to save up for a fascia kit and 18/19 alloys now!!

The Wood Company usually respond to emails very quickly, so I've had no reason to phone them. I was that pleased with my armrest that I sent them a 'thankyou' email with a pic of the armrest fitted, which they have used on their website. It's the one with the 'made in Italy' and flag attached. They just reversed the image to make it look like LHD.

When you do establish a link with them, I found that paypal was a quick and effortless way to pay them. Got the armrest in a couple of days. Was GS TD4 Auto, Privacy, Santorini with Tundra & Alpaca, Cold Climate Pack. Traded for Discovery Sport HSE Auto.
