They did black for the white D4 landmark edition, but I haven't heard of any OEM FL2 ones

I suspect sprayed and decided they didn't want to fit, so Its a question of quality of bodyshop finish Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Gloss black I believe

Not sure if they would look right on any other colour but White though

Thinking whilst typing the FL2 SPORT Le might have had black vents Idea Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Gryff on here with a silver GS has black vents, they look ace. He has a TD4 with dark front grill and they go well together.

I bought a pair of these off Fleabay for my 2011 Santorini Black FL2. Don't know if they were sprayed but finish is very good quality and they massively improve the looks of the car.

Only snag was fitting them. I just couldn't get the old ones off without using sufficient force to risk damaging the wings (even after reading lots of helpful advice on this forum) so I blackmailed my dealer to do it for nothing when I had the car back for the third time to fix the same minor warranty problem. It took them five minutes ...... Rolling Eyes The map is not the territory

England 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Baltic Blue

I bought a pair of black vents from eBay last year to go on my Baltic Blue GS along with some smoked side indicators. The vents have a slight metallic finish and I think they look great, and don't stand out like a sore thumb like the silver vents do. Looking around for a black grill but I don't want a HS grill, I prefer a standard grill, just in black!
