Modding my freelander - any help?

[britton]

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.

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.

thanks alot, i don't have huge amounts ,  so i guess  i'l  get sum nice wheels and tyres then take it from there

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

Dont laugh!..Try some peanut butter on the bumpers,Has worked wonders in the past

[origional badboy]

[origional badboy]
