the crome mirror caps don't come into justice on a white car. Try white caps instead. The door handles seem ok.
the white base looks not so good either, leave it black llike the tubes.

Shocked they are white mirror caps

Well a photoshopping interpretation of white, but selecting the area and adjusting the colour levels from black to white,

The white centre of the bumper looks good, but not sure about the mirrors.....for all my opinion is worth Wink

Chrome looks bad on white cars, not black ones. That's my take on it.
Black looks good on white cars.

I'd keep the standard black mirrors and black bumper center. That looks best. White door handles would look good tough but that's the only mod i'd do on a white one.

The fact u choose black tubes says you subconsiouly already know that.

i think they would look better with the lower covers on too, but i don't think they do them for the FL2, just the FFRR Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I think they do, They do them on the chrome ones at least.

I agree they would look better with the bottom ones as well. It looks kinda unfinished with the top ones only.

Get chrome covers - they are both top and bottom. Or just paint bottom caps to match the white uppers Thumbs Up .

Your just trying to find a way out of it by coming up with negative arguments Shocked

However, if LR were really interested that owners "dolled up" their FL2's they would have produced mirror caps to match your door handles and wheels - Even I might then be interested in a bit of subtle colour coding as well Whistle 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
