Does anyone know if it is actually possible to fit a dynamic body kit from the later model onto the earlier model bumper?? Of course, this is not advised etc etc however i prefer the newer body kit but would rather not have to blow £500 on a new bumper as well as another £200 for the kit. With a bit of a "Make it fit" attitude and potentially some bodging, would this be possible??? Thanks in advance. Any help that leads to the installment of a dynamic kit on my early lr2 will result in a pat on the back and a "Good Job Buddy" from me.

I think the HST body kit fits the early models. 94 Disco 300 TDI Gone
96 Defender 300 TDI Gone...Should have kept it.
2003 Freelander ES TD4 Gone
2002 Defender TD5 Gone
2005 Freelander HSE TD4 Gone
2015 Freelander 2 Metropolis Keeping for now!

The HST is what is currently have installed funnily enough!! Ha-ha. Looking to upgrade to the Dynamic kit but not fork out for a newer bumper. Thanks though.

Basically you can but the earlier bumper (HST) and later bumper (Dynamic) have different lower grills so it will fit but I think you’ll have bit of bumper exposed where normally the HST skirt covers.
I think this pic explains it better

Thanks for that Stuart, first time ive seen anyone even think of doing this to be honest. Everyone just says it wont fit the older model. Do you think i will have any problems with the tow eye cover lining up? Or will it just be a straight swap from the HST to Dynamic???

Tow eye cover is the same for both types of kit - or at least the fixing points are. I've had both kits and the centre piece was slightly different underneath, even though the LR part number was the same.

Only difference is each outside skirt, centre tow eye cover is the same.
Whether the side aprons fit without any modifications is unknown but I think you’ll find the earlier bumper doesn’t have the crease in the bumper that later models do so you’ll have to file down that part at least. MY15

Think i'm going to give it a go at the weekend and will post how it goes for those interested anyway!

Not sure if anyone is actually interested in doing this or just curious but i managed to fit the Dynamic Body kit (meant for the later bumper) to the earlier bumper. Had to trim a bit of plastic that should tuck into the lower grill however as the lower grill isn't as long as the newer bumper, this needed trimming. Personally think it looks good, not everyone's cup of tea, i can imagine. I didn't fancy trying to color match with the bumper so have embraced the body kit and sprayed all satin black, again, not everyone's cup of tea. Bit of residue from the HST body kit adhesive which will come off hopefully when i buy some white spirit or similar! Let me know if any questions or anything. Cheers.

Hi Luke, Any photos of the finished item? As they say without photos it never happened!

Am trying sir! Not having any luck with uploading them? am i doing something wrong??

Top job! The black spoiler and matching black side skirts looks just right!

Thank you sir! Appreciate it.

Nice job, well done!

That looks very nice, suits it in black too, just don’t put one of the bug ugly spot light accessory sets on the front  Regards
