Modding my freelander - any help?
« on: March 17, 2009, 21:45:00 »
Hi i recently inherited my dads freelander, i'm a bit of a newbie,

I want to know what mods i can get and would suit the car , i was sent here on the belief i could find sum freelander experts who know their stuff :P

i need to know what i can get and where from , and what would/wouldn't be suitable

Ive ordered chrome wing mirrors,  chrome side steps and  light guards,  what else can i  buy to make this slightly neglected  vehicle into a mean machine looking shiny-

i'd like to know also if i can get   the grey faded  looking bumpers  changed/ painted? 

basically i want it as a  tidy shiny car for on the road but im known for  taking normal cars where they aren't supposed to be in the country, and ruining exausts etc... so would like a few offroad mods but nothing major

here she is

Hey James, welcome to MC.

There is loads of "Bling" available for the freelander and quite abit of offroad stuff too. I just depends on how far you wanna go & how much pocket money you have?

If your looking for ideas two very useful sites are Freelander Club &  M.A.D Freelanders, register on the forums (it's free) and have a read.

But I guess a good starting point would be wheels and tyres, an all terrain tyre on a freelander makes a huge impact on it's off road ability, with the steel rims you have you could go up a few sizes to increase ground height with out any mods. 215/75/15 or 215/80/15.


Cheers

Phil


P.s All 97-2000 freelanders have grey bumpers anyho, they probably just need a damm good clean tho, try some bumper restorer from your local Half**ds first.

To clean the bumpers try using Plastic Garden Furniture cleaner, much cheaper and basically the same stuff.
