Much better. The way it should have come from the factory. |

That looks good, as previously said, it should have come from the factory like that. Don't put petrol in a diesel. They don't run well. |

Why not just buy a black FL2 to start with?

It is something I have considered doing for a long time. Now I have seen it done, I think I will do it.
Not on the C pillar like in these pics. LR never did this. Unless you car of course is already black. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come......... |

That makes a huge difference to the side view, I think it looks a bit stunted from side on, not unlike a Tonka toy , much nicer now! |

I imagine instead of using paint an alternative could be to use that type of vynil wrap stuff in matt or semi gloss then it could be reverted back to standard if the need arose when selling it on? Maybe you can get the stuff in gloss finish too then it would look like a continuation of the privacy glass I was only wrong once and thats when I thought I was but wasnt. 2010 Freelander 2 XS Stornaway Grey 2010 Aston DBS Morning Frost 2010 Bentley Continental Brooklands Green |

Remember, part of the rear door window frame has to be done as well, also you would have to paint the return in part as well or you will see an original colour in the gap. |

I have looked into this today. It can be done with vinyl quite easily. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come......... |

I'd never have believed it made such a positive difference until I saw the photos. That was a gutsy move to change the colour spec at the spray shop but I believe it's made a huge difference. It's reminds me of the new Evoque due out soon. It would have to be pretty easy to apply some black adhesive (vinyl?) and take some piccies. I'd do it myself but the ship takes a long time to travel to the land downunder so my order hasn't arrived yet. I've ordered Stornaway Grey and my best efforts in Powerpoint (don't have Photoshop) indicate a huge difference. I don't know why but the FL2 always looks short??? |
