Tailgate plastic handle

Mine is hanging on by its fingernails as most of the plastic mounting brackets are broken. The new ones are c£300 but there a re some unlettered replicas available on the web for £80-90. For example, the one below. Does anyone have any experience of these replicas.

Doesnt answer your question - sorry.
You'll have to spray it but you never know it might be better made than the original.


Or try 2nd hand from the scrappers Jules

Checked the scrap dealers. They are £150+

I had not realised it needs painting but that should not bee too difficult as the old girl is a bit ragged anyway. Freelander 2 TD4 HSE 2010

United Kingdom 2009 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Auto Santorini Black

I fitted one of these;

Mine was looking scabby. so while fitting a rear camera to go with my satnav replacement I got one of those.
It did have the writing on it.
Almost identical to OEM except it's about 5mm narrower. (Couple of mm either side.)
AND
It didn't need spraying, though I did spray mine black.

PS. You need the fittings from the old one. What you have should still be OK to use as it's the plastic that goes.
