Quite like that but fairly expensive for 2 stickers. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Members on here have already done it themselves. Nice idea, but no point for me with a black Freelander.

I have been following the videos they did at powerfulUK re this as I was interested, I played with photoshop as I cant make my mind up as to whether I like it enough to pay £35 or not....

Having watched the vid I thought they may look good on a red car but now I have seen it (albeit your photoshopped image - thank you) I am not sure I like it enough to want to do it to my car.

I wonder how easy it would be to remove them after a few months or whether they would damage the paint under them?


ps... you could photoshop the body rubbing strips on too... it might spur me on to fitting mine if they look good on red.

I quite like the look and on mine light blue it should!

but at £35 I'm not fully convinced yet,

I am not sure what the cost of decent automotive grade vinyl costs and how much would be needed, I was hoping for £25 but I guess they have to make a profit and at £35 isn't that bad. I am just very unsure if it will suit despite looking at the photos I did, I think it may suit lighter colours like white your blue and grey. 2014 Freelander 2 XS TD4

I have seen this done before. The main problem I see is matching the C pillar 'sheen' with the B pillar door caps. OR re-do BOTH ??? 'Blue Peter sticky back plastic' .... will not do.

According to the video, the vinyl have a slightly texture to them, which would complement the rear quarters.
I'm not sure why LR produced the two different finishes!

Im sure any company that does wraps / tints could do these for you for significantly less than £35. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

In fairness to PowerfulUK they designed and cut out the vinyl ready to fit rather than buying a roll and doing it yourself, not sure what car wrap companies would charge but it would be interesting to find out? 2014 Freelander 2 XS TD4

I like the idea and the intended look is good.

But the trouble is the decals dont really match the B or D pillars which have differ textures - so, to me , the decals stand out too much and make the side of the car look messy - too many different blacks if you like. Jules
