CHROME - OUT OF THE CLOSET AND ADDICTED

http://www.freel2.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_milestone.gif

I know its bad but I have joined the Chrome Club some kind of mid ownership crisis I think Whistle

I've said it now and feel better for it

Have fitted:

Single Tailpipe
Boot internal Treadplate
Bumper Treadplate
Door treadplates

Have got to FIT when the weather improves

Mirrors Coverplates
Fog Lamp bezel - can remove these and do it in my shed Very Happy
Tailgate handle cover pre-facelift (Not worth fitting the long one and drilling holes as it looks good)

To GET
Door handles
Maybe Evoque vents dummy for Bonnet or is that just toooo much Question
Side Grills

This is addictive and you get hooked spending evenings scouring the internet for new bits of trim and I need to think about Internal trim next or join a therapy group Rolling with laughter Thumbs Up FL2 2008 150K

Light guards? Not sure if they came in chrome or just black but probably could be chromed
Chrome side tubes or steps?

General trim items:
Not chrome but if you haven't done it already, rear light clusters to later LED version and high level brake light to clear from red are really easy mods.
Spoiler? Front 'spats'? Front & rear mudflaps?

The list is pretty extensive... right the way through to a rear wiper arm from a Renault Clio or some such.

....... and the OP hasn't even started on the interior. Confused

Sshh, nobody mention the chrome steering wheel that's available. Confused

Laughing

Seriously, a little bit of silver (tho not chrome) can really lift the dullness of a black interior.
Got some vent trims on mine. Thumbs Up FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

United Kingdom 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Manual Sumatra Black

I have been coming out slowly on this one as it has
mixed views and don;'t want to put crap stuff on it.

Being black it does set the car off nicely a little bit of chrome here and there and all the new cars out have Chrome on them now Very Happy

But wow "Largered" Thumbs Up could be a low cost option might just do that but wheres the fun in fitting all the bits I would have to put black back on it maybe

And chrome Steering WHEEL "ronp" now there is a thought I wonder where I could get that Question

thanks for all the suggestions keep them coming Rolling with laughter FL2 2008 150K
