No prices yet though.
Looked at it but am afraid it will conflict with the front parking sensors.

Anyway looks really nice!

i think its been out for quite a while, so you might have to contact them for the price

Not my cup'o'tea though, think they are a bit OTT and should be kept for Suziki Vitara Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Not 100% sure yet myself anymore. Don't like the bottom plate with the round holes. Also would have liked if the bars continued further down. They look cut off now and dont give any protection when you ride OVER the bull Razz

My car will be a black one with chrome tubes and chome mirrors, so I tought it might look ok.
I also want to add a chrome platelightcover.

Wanted to do more chrome on door handles and such but they are handled to much so I don't think the stick-ons available on ebay are strong enough and will get loose over time.

Was thinking of chrome lettering, but then I have to remove the originals first, which I think is kinda risky ( Censored -ups and such).

It 'll look more expensive that way I think Mr. Green

Have not seen alternatives for the bull bar though...

FL1 has some nice ones: http://www.4x4x4.com/accessories/freelande...rbars7.htm

Don't think they will look proper on FL2 tough, but at least it shows what I mean...

Even better: http://www.4x4x4.com/accessories/freelande...rbars4.htm
These might look nice on FL2. May even not interfere with sensors...

We used to have a disco td5 and we garaged that , we hung a tennis ball of a lenght of string so when i put it in the garage when the tennis ball was on the windscreen that's when i stopped.


Just an idea....

A rectangle wooden bar on the ground of the garage to stop the front wheels when getting close to the end was my solution for this. It even stops the car, when you forget the tennis ball or fail to brake early enough - automatic system Rolling Eyes .

Tennis ball is a better idea, at least if you forget to turn the wipers off you'll be having a game of wiper tennis

I think the wooden bar will lay in my way when the cars not in the garage which I'll be passing through on warmer days when I'm gardening...

Tennis ball is for me still the best solution, but will keep the bar in mind...

I als can always coat the garage with pillows, but I don't think I can sell that to the misses Mr. Green

Thanks
