Old body kit vs new dynamic body kit


Jus wondering if the old freelander bodykit front bumper sits lower then the current one than on the dynamic? Is it just my eyes or is the old 2006 style fitted with a much deeper spoiler? The skirts and back bumper look the same tho?

Much prefer the older style front spoiler than the newer one. The side and rear are identical. Apparently (how true this is though I dont know) LR are not going to offer the bodykit as a accessory anymore as they fear sales of the Dynamic may suffer if everyone goes out and buys GS's and puts a bodykit on.

looking at those pictures and taking the wheels centre caps as a reference point the new Dynamic kits looks to sit way lower Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

IMO the current Dynamic Body kit finishes the front end of alot better than the old HST kit

I do prefer the LR offering over what Kahn or Overfinch etc Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I agree, the Dynamic Body Kit is a lot better that the HST one.
The added bits on the front of the HST just don't look quite right. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HST Manual Stornoway Grey

To be honest George, the standard Freelander 2 looks pretty pants even in HSE trim IMO

I have the HST and both the HST kit and LE kit turns heads people always comment on mine saying how great it looks whereas before the Kit and 19" HST wheels were fitted nobody batted an eyelid.

The amount of people now who approach me asking what it is is unreal, people say it looks like a mini Range Rover and I have had nothing but positive compliments on it.

The Kits make the freelander 2 as far as im concerned and are what these cars should have looked like from the off Freelander 2 HST Stornoway Grey

Both front spoilers sit about the same height. The rest of the kit is the same.

I really like the Dynamic front spoiler. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

As mav71 says it's no lower - a little Bruce Forsyth in the way it's chin sticks out though Whistle
I prefer the Dynamic version and the subtlety of the tailgate spoiler - they need to be standard on XS upwards imho.
