United Kingdom 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Tambora Flame
2012 update of a 2007

After some kind people decided to throw superglue over the bonnet, wings and front bumper on my Freelander one night my mind was made up, a little update was required. I had changed the front bumper a few years back so it was a case of new tailgate handle, spoiler, rear lights to match the front and while I was at it I added half mirror covers and gloss black side vents. I think I might get the gloss black door handle covers to match.

The update really works. Landrover missed a trick by dropping that colour. 👍 Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 i6 HSE Auto Sumatra Black

I have to agree, Land Rover should have kept Tambora Flame as part of the colour pallet throughout the whole production run. When I got serious about replacing my F1 rally car with an F2, I really only wanted one in Tambora Flame. However, they seemed to command a higher price, or were complete dogs, or both Shocked
I settled on my black i6 instead, just because it was a very keen price, with most of the troublesome areas having been replaced by Land Rover at great expense. Basically, a whole new drivetrain !
However, I know what I would have really liked. Though I'm not sure I'd have been tempted to modify it like I have with my black i6, keeping it more of a stock look.
That looks wonderful, norfie Thumbs Up

Have you tried superglue debonder. I have a bottle for when I accidentally stick my fingers together. Just test somewhere first with the paint. If it is ok probably worth cleaning it off quickly. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

It was a couple of days after the event that our neighbour was watching their CCTV and saw the chaps throwing the glue on the car (5 cars in total) so I tried some acetone but no joy in getting it off. It was mitre glue which I believe is just superglue.
We took the bottle they used and the CCTV to the police and were told there was nothing they could do and gave us a crime number and told to contact our insurance company.

It dissolves the glue.

But as said earlier, test it as it may affect the paint. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I have an old broken mirror cover, put some super glue on it, then a super glue hardener, & then tried the solvent. The glue came off rubbing in small circles on the glue with my finger & didn't leave a mark.

Give it a go but test to double check. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Probably best bet is a arts supply shop or hobby shop.

Pacer Zip Kicker for super glue hardener when glue is not being used between 2 tight surfaces.
