United Kingdom 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 XS Auto Santorini Black
PlastiDip Continues

So after my grill experiment, I've done a few other bits.

First off I've peeled back the edge of the grill to leave on the cross bars in black, which I quite like as other wise I would have had to do the spot light surrounds.

I've also done the front the rear landrover lettering, along with the side vents.

Excuse the fact my cars a bit dirty !

It's probably not to everyones taste, but its fun messing around with it all the same.

It's a bit too black for me. I prefer the silver grill and side vents to black ones. I'm also not a fan of the rear boot lid strip in black, I prefer it chrome. I'm glad that you are enjoying your new FL2. Thumbs Up

I know what you're saying and still not decided apart from the grill which I definately prefer with the black cross sections.

The beauty being I can just peel it off when I'm bored and go back to standard.

I quite like the grill in black, but given the choice I would have it in silver. It looks good on the Dynamic though, making it looks more sporty.

I like it in chrome, but that's my opinion.

I'm with CG - a chrome strip across the back of a car otherwise completely devoid of chrome just looks silly. Much prefer it in black. Not sure about the rest of it - I don't hate it, don't love it.

Looks really good, is it as easy to use as the you tube videos show? Looks to be out of stock most places in UK?

Front grill look,a much better Thumbs Up

I think the black rear strip looks very good too, might try that on my silver car where it will look much better, side vents in black would benefit too, sort of a mid life makeover just under 50k on it now.
