Hello all,

Counting the days now till delivery of our new FL2 SE Td4, Stornoway Grey, Auto, black leather upholstery, PTI, SatNav, smoked side repeaters, etc ... !!! At least I hope we're talking days only .... Dealer told me it would take one week to prepare the car after delivery ....

Quick question though ...... any of you ever heard about whether the new grille which comes with the sportspack is or will be available for purchase as a single item? I for one would certainly love to replace the standard grille with this one!

Greetings from Geneva,
Marcus

I have not seen a part number for it, but i have seen the item for sale on eBay before

I presume any part of the sport styling kick can be ordered separately as I know you can get the spoiler and exhaust trim as one offs Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Thanks, npinks. I'm sure you can order replacement parts, but my experience, at least here in Switzerland, is that parts which belong to certain models or versions are only available if you actually have that model/version. Here they wouldn't even replace the black grille on my previous BMW 320d with a chrome grille, as this was only for the 325 and 330 ... ... Had it replaced in Spain with no hassle though .... may have to do the same for the LR2 grille

You may very well be right, Matei. Will check it out in Spain first once I have the FL2. We'll be driving south to our second home end July, so a good opportunity to stop by the LR dealers in Barcelona.

Yes the sport grill is available on its own,speak to Matt at stratstone doncaster parts dept he will get you part no and send you one if you want ,think its about £60 and you can fit it yourself all you need is a hacksaw blade and some masking tape as you cut out the old one from the surround,instructions are in the box!!!


all the best Tony.

A hacksaw blade and some masking tape, heh?

I think I'll stop by the dealer ...

By the way, ever noticed how the last week of waiting for your new toy lasts the longest? All I'm doing these days is waiting for news from my dealer that the FL2 has arrived and is ready for pick-up!

hacksaw blade and some masking tape?

not exactly a direct replacement part... Phil

Maybe in Doncaster it is ...

I work at a Landrover dealer,I repair the cars, I fit the kits I listen to customers whine I manage the warrenty claims,I own the new freelander too,I go to Gaydon to the courses,I have the knowledge,We will charge £100 per hour to cut yours out with a hacksaw!!!.......But Iam good enough to not need the tape!!!


Shame its a bit far? Tony.

P.S

I was under the impression that the FL2 does not brake down I assume that the repair part relates to the other LR models

Good to know there is somebody else that we can ask for advice on the FL2.  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
