Without. Is that Kinver Sand? I had a V8 D2 in that colour. For about 4 weeks..... not my best Land Rover purchase, but gorgeous colour.

For me without, but its personal preference at the end of the day

On some 4x4's the bonnet deflector looks really good, but I just dont think they suit the Freelander, kinda spoils the lines of the bonnet. I contemplated buying one for mine for a while.
Oh and mines a Kinversand too, love it!

Probably without - but its difficult to tell with the sun shining on my dusty screen!

Would look better with if it had the "L A N D R O V E R" written on it.

I too think it would be better with silver land rover on it, or even if it was a lighter tint.

Errmm....... Not really sure!


Seriously though, they are designed to deflect rain, bugs, snow etc over the car not into the screen, also protect the leading edge of the bonnet from stone chips.

I am not entirely sure that it does much, but I havnt had it fitted when driving in snow though.

Deflects the wind up and over the bonnet and windscreen. Less bugs on the windscreen in the summer less snow dazzle in the winter. Also stops stone chips on the bonnet edge....and looks good
