Hello, I have a Freelander 2 in ipanema Sand colour. Its a rather unusual colour and I can't seem to find door handles or Side mirrors in ipanema sand http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-VPLDC0003GAQ. I was wondering if it would be worth painting it with the ipanema sand paint from LR.

Also, I was wondering about chipping or mapping the car. Its the 2.2 diesel putting up a respectable 400nm go torque.

I'm rather new to this, so bear with me.

I want to look at the option of tinting the car, although i'm concerned how it will contract with the sand colour. Is it unwise to buy pre cut tints and fit it yourself?

Can't comment on the colour issues or the tints but I have read many posts on chipping and the advice is always don't do it. Always go for a remap.

However there is also suggestion that the slightly fragile clutch may suffer with increased torque...

hej, Johansn, Have a Freelander 2 in ipanema Sand colour myself, and your right it is an unusual colour, the dealer here in Sweden I brought mine from didn't even have it in their data bank to print out the right sales document . I have my rear windows tinted, quite a normal thing to have done here in Sweden looks good, heres a couple of pics of mine sorry its late at night, I can take a photo tomorrow in day if you wish. lol just seen the date this was posted, ah well might as well leave it here. and look at posting date next time
