United Kingdom 2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Fuji White

Thanks again fellas - It is now looking like I should get a set of gels to start with that way I can test the look, quality etc without shelling out too much which was one of my underlying concerns giving rise to my OP.

Question RIGHT now for the lettering Whistle

Any views on the replacement black lettering available (don't think I have seen a full set for my TD4 GS out there anywhere)

OR

does the plastidip paint stuff do a decent job? No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

TD4 GS I would personally just remove it. If you really wanted to keep them then create a template first with them on the car and then remove them and have them painted gloss black and re apply with 3M tape. The template that you created will ensure that are in the correct position Very Happy MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

No any on the bay for £11.99 arm but keep checking as its a regular occurrence.

I actually do have a very slight oil leak according to LR main stealer, from the upper sump gasket. Told me not to bother sorting it as it added to the character Rolling with laughter

I've also ordered a Chinese badge for the steering wheel - be interesting to see the quality, delivery times etc thought it worth a punt at £3.99 Thumbs Up No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

You lot are all deviating away from the "Green Oval", which even LR have recently acknowledged is their staple, hence the return to it from black. Why?? Foraging near Gaydon....

We've always been loyal to the green oval Badger but having the black pack on a Fuji White dynamic the green oval did not really blend in well with a gloss black grill

Looks a lot better with the black oval

SIMPLES Whistle

I have a Fuji white car with most of the fittings finished in matt black
The exceptions are the wing vents, front grille. wheel centres, bonnet and tailgate lettering and the chrome strip above the number plate

I want to create a 'monochrome' look by changing these to (matt) black too which I think will make the car more consistent and appear rather cool Bow down No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

Wouldn't it be a boring world if everyone had the same opinion.

The black badges look better.
