Just buying a soft a bar to fit the freelander.

I can get a genuine LR one for £157 or what I am assured is an exact good quality copy from MM 4x4 for £97

Anyone any experience of these copies ?? are they any good - are they exact copies ?

or should I pay the extra for the genuine article ??

its allways the same i find wen you look at other peoples cars you can always tell wen they have non genuine accesories fitted they just look cheaper,

and as the old saying goes , you buy cheap you buy twice

What year is yours?

A friend of mine has an a-bar for the facelift Freelander. He never got around to fitting it and no longer has the vehicle. It's a genuine part but will only fit the facelifted models. I think he has the light pods as well.

Let me know if it will fit yours and you could end up with bargin!

Cheers

i got the aftermarket one for my freelander after a monkey munched on mine at longleat.it was an arse to fit and when i finally got it to sit level i then discovered that it is slightly narrower than the genuine part so the spot light pods would not fit on properly. so i sent it back and got a genuine one
so a day out at longleat ended up costing me about 300 quid.
