United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 i6 HSE Auto Zermatt Silver

Had mine sprayed and fitted a few weeks ago by the paint shop that does LR work locally. Cost £110 for spray and fitting and very pleased with the result.

I now have a spare, un-primed spoiler if anyone is interested. It is in brand new condition, complete with original box; it has the 3m surface cleaner, etc. but not the original brackets and bolts. I've had some brackets made up and have the correct diameter bolts but could not guarantee that you might not be better getting a set of original brackets from a LR source. PM me if you are interested - pick up would be Manchester.

Got and fitted mine, dead easy, just need to make sure it's lined up. Total cost £270.
Here's the spoiler nice and shiny from the box:


Infamous 3M pads (with the cover on), the adhesive comes as a small, sponge pad. Be warned, the adhesive can get everywhere, but wait till it dries and polish it off:


Brackets to hold the ends. Note you need the correct allen key as does not come with any:


Finished result, sweet:


BTW: the instructions are the full body kit fitting guide, so handy for the next project Phil

United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Stornoway Grey

Can anyone confirm that the rear spoiler is robust enough to withstand the typical car wash assault?
The OE spoiler on my car doesn't feel that solid a fixture for the amount it projects out from the bodyline and seems like it could get a fairly firm brushing by the car wash, depending the sensor setup.

When I asked a dealer rep this question his reply was "I wouldn't risk it" Confused

If you value your paintwork, the local handwash car washes are the ones to go to

I got mine from the dealer for £95 + VAT then I bought 1/2 litre of stornaway paint from the local auto centre for £35 and got charged £30 for labour to paint it. That included their laquer.

It took me 5 minutes to fit it, simply peeled off the tape backing, stuck it on and fitted the clamps, for sure not £75 worth of labour to do it. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

Only in dire circumstances, like freezing conditions and filthy car (more farm mud than road surface in many areas!)

No hand(wash) jobs available out in the sticks where I exist.

DIY is the normal method, but car gets used more than pampered. Car cleaning way down the priority list now, unlike earlier days Sad

Thumbs Up Leave it dirty till you can do it then at the end of the day its a Land Rover Laughing

Bit different out of towns, but there is a garage that has a jet wash with heated water near me, makes the job a little warmer, I use it just to give it a jetwash down, but don't use the brush as the last thing most people use it on is their wheel and then the next sucker rubs grit all over the paint work

Great to use if you've been off road, saves jetting the driveway down Wink

Obviously each to their own though Very Happy Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

If you have twin chrome exhaust trims then it would be worth it, I recently 'found' one in Kent and flogged it on ebay for a pretty penny At work

South Africa 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto Nazca Sand

Being somewhat off topic already I thought I'd chuck this in for good measure...

Does anyone have the part number for the spoiler so that I can ring the dealership for a quote...?
BTW, what is the name of the orange colour? (see pic in top right hand corner)
