There is nothing actually wrong with silver or Grey FL2's-It's just that every one ya see has an old biddy driving it.
Once you've Drove black ya won't go back

P.S. Please Ignore any homo-erotic connotations that can be deemed from that last statement

Agreed +1

My last 14 cars have been black - guess what colour I'll be getting next

Dunno Doc, What colour? Rimini?

Test drive the Automatic before you decide to buy as it might change your mind.Tyres are good for at least 30k.34 mpg from my Auto driving on A and B roads with a small amount of town driving.Check with your insurance company about the wheels as mine would not insure me on 19" rims. Stornaway grey SE auto with 18" alloys

Tempted coz there loads cheaper used - thinking of going down this route when I replace my carpets too to get maximum discount, "do you have any red pub style carpet in stock, oh and some really stripy red and white wallpaper"

normally an insurer have no problems if they are OEM rims you are going to especially from 18's to 19's

But as LRI said they have no problems unless your change is over 2inchs, (so you couldn't go 16's to 19's) Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

My insurer said that it was OK to go from 17" to 18" but not to 19". Stornaway grey SE auto with 18" alloys

Your insurer needs to get his car info updated - 19" are standard on some models.
It’s a long time since I had UK insurance so I forgot - But, how can the size of the wheels effect the insurance price
Doesn’t affect the price here as long as they are the size recommended by LR 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc.

Hi that's it sorted ! Ive ordered a FL2 GS in stornoway grey (sorry CG) Im thinking of ordering some 19's tomorrow From Dworths ! insurance are ok with 19" wheels providing there dealer fitted ! Will gs centre caps fit new 19's LR002805 ? Also will FL2 be any worse off road or in snow with larger wheels ?

if the snows deeper than the kerbs,remember they there,as the alloys will once u found them

Owls,
Centre caps are same size no matter what size the wheels, but some wheels are a different colour I.e shadow chrome/sparkle etc. and will need same colour centre caps.

Cheers Rowy do you know if fl2 will be any worse off for having 19's on compared to 17's ?

I went from 17's to 19' Shadow chromes with Continental 19' tyres which are lower profile & better road tyres-very smooth.
The Goodyear Wrangler 17's are Mud & snow tyres-so better for off road use-But I had NO problems in the snow with the conti's, unlike other 4x4s that were struggling around my village.

Plus the Shadow chromes are the best-don't bother with them Tripppple sports, they look crap, I got a set and had them on and off the car within days. It's worth paying a little bit extra for them, I paid £180 LESS (For my second set of shadow chromes) than the Ebay price of the dealer that sells then for £900 by giving them a bell.

Just to make your day Rowdy, some new Shadow Chromes went on Fleabay today for 500!
