United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Tambora Flame

Tough one.... while I think it does not look out of place I would prefer de-badged.... mainly because any one who knows FL2s will know what this badge is an may giggle a little thinking its trying too hard.

On the plus side I do think the red looks nice - I had red and silver themes going on my Vectra many moons ago. May be some red calipers to help set it off with some hints of red in the cabin as a finisher may make the car quite unique then.... ?

Leather re trim in the future may be on the cards, perhaps black leather with red stitching?

I love black/red leather. I think it will suit your car. Correct me if I'm wrong, didn't you mention that you were changing it in the near future?

No the car will be staying with me for the foreseeable future due to a change in circumstances, it may become a second car.
The mileage estimate when I bought it was going to be around 100k over three years, this will now be far less so will keep hold of it.
Full leather re trim will be worth while I feel at some stage, the car looks and drives like new after 55k miles, I just get bored, hence the badge Laughing brightens it up.
I quite fancy the chunky steering wheel that Powerful UK do but its silly money.

Never thought of you as a boy racer Taz; or any other sort of racer Laughing

So, anyone on this forum suggest any other 'pimp my ride' bits for Taz? Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

Serious suggestion

Happy to be shot down (no change there then), but my two penneth is if you have that Sport label you need a different exhaust tip, something to provide the impression of lots of cubes hidden within.

<shrug> could be wrong here but I reckon you have to keep them guessing as to whether you are a dark horse. Never tell me the odds.

Pah!

That's a weak effort. If you want to look
Individual try something like this:

I saw this yesterday and I'm still laughing.
