It's not me who is thinking about it..... It's somebody with a black one and his wife quite liked the look on his RRS Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Simple answer, tell him to buy a FFRR, leave the side vents standard, his wife will soon forget the silly colour coded side vents on the silly RRS and get back to her wifely chores.

Yes, I amaze even myself somedays Whistle

His bought a my2010 RRS instead

I have only seen one with coded side vents they was coded so the had some bright red on
them, they was done by the bodyshop

I have searched and it looks like they are DIY so far unless the forum collective can come up with some Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Any decent bodyshop can do this but I would sugest buying a new set incase the fitted ones have had polish applied which is a bodyshops nightmare. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

England 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 S Manual Baltic Blue

extremerly big nightmare you struggle with silicone and reactions due to them having polish on them i took my freely into the bodyshop where i work to do a blow in on my front bumper and i had a right game because of the amount of wax and polish i applied in the past few months , i no it sounds like a chavy suggestion but i think the sidevents would look great in black on your white freely would set it off a treat i have 1 black one here which i tried on mine but looked odd against baltic blue

United Kingdom 2014 LR2 SD4 HSE Auto Firenze Red

Hi, there is a company selling chrome side vents, the same company sells colour coded door handle covers & complete mirror covers also chrome covers for the bit that sticks out on the rear door with Landrover on it.
I put the web address & the company name on here but I could not find where I put it, I think it might have been removed im not sure,
I don't know this Company in any way or have any thing to do with them just trying to help others, if you can't find them on ebay I will put the web address of the company up again if it is ok to do so,
Hope that helps, Bucket. Thumbs Up
