I'm told (by Mat in France - thanks) that it's a faily easy job to change all the door handles to be colour coded with the car, Disco 3 are the same I think he said. Is this a kit from LR. I've seen stick on aftermarket but they look naff. Oh and where would you recommend I get a spoiler for above the rear window is this also LR only?

pa51 ely ?? did his , I seem to remember him saying he changed them from the exterior of the car

Got back into Hull Sunday morning (Still to sunshine). Ordered the silver indicator bulbs, the best Xenon lookalikes I could find from Phillips Xtreme for the headlights plus the clear side repeaters (£14 with free silver bulbs !). Colour coded handles are £102.88 inc vat supply only, £309 fitted (they say you have to remove the door cards - obviously trying it on). Rear spoiler is £174.00 unpainted inc fit kit + vat. (£399 supply, paint, fit).
My independent financial advisor says were going down the privacy glass route first, then the door handles -(oh she who must be obeyed).
It's all your fault ! what have you started....

Andy

If you contact Nick Lee at Yeovil LandRover he will sort all your parts out with a forum discount

The only problem is the painting of the spoiler, which i think he would prefer not to do, but still ask

I have a telephone number somewhere for a mobile spray chap who quoted around £50 to spray one, when i was looking, but never got round to doing it

His name was Barry Teale, The Spray Machine (or the spray man), and he is based in Whitkirk LS15 Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Andy, you 100% dont have to remove the door cards. I am sure there is a how to on here.

Regarding the spoiler, getting a dealer far away to paint it and ship it is not an issue regarding colour as there is aparently only one shade of Stornaway grey so the colour should be perfect. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

Can you buy the door handles already colour coded from main dealers? I'm after a set of stonaway grey!!!!!

Yes you can

does anybody know the size of the torx screw in the passenger door? need to find myself a torx driver to fit the screw  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Had mine done at the dealer as it was only 20mins labour! look really good!

i thought about that, but since i have mudguards to put on also they be charging a bit, mights aswell DIY that way they haven't cost me a penny  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Solved the torx screw it's the same size as a tool supplied with a Ryobi Petrol hedge trimmer

Quite fiddly getting the end caps off as I don't think my screw driver was small enough

Thanks to McP guide to changing them

Went to a landrover specialist and asked if he could fit my colour coded door handles cos I was being lazy. He started saying he would have to take the door cards off I then proceeded to tell him its just a case of tugging and pulling. He then told me it would take one and half hours labour to fit them So with that I got in the car went home. 20 mins later it was done. Won't be going there anymore useless. Guess I'm more of a specialist than them Many thanks to mcpherson and pa51 for there very helpfull info
