I agree with Pegleg. It would be great if it was a shiny gloss black. I'm looking forward to seeing your FL2 when you have finished the facelift. |

Yes Knoxy and believe it or not is only one quick coat ill fit it to the car like it is before it gos to paint but i have a feeling it ain't gonna look right with the black grill on Stornoway Gray ill most likely go with silver grill and surround |

IMHO it looks like a total mismatch to the point it looks like 2 separate pieces stuck together and think once on your car will stand out for the wrong reasons.

I completely agree defenderben just got home and had another look at the bumper --- don't look right on this color combination

My wife has a MY2013 XS in Indus Sliver - that has a black (metallic) grill surround as standard on this model and IMHO it looks good |

It will look bloody awful with a silver grill surround.

Mine is the original mat grey. But I think it would look good in body colour with the silver grill bars. But the black looks very good. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come......... |

good effort but not to my liking personally, i do have to wonder why grey car owners are always fiddling and altering them, in an attempt to make them less dull? At work
