Looks very well
Maybe use a some kind of rubber finisher for bumper edges? Like mine for roll cage :
Simple thing, and cut outs looks a lot better
Thats what I did use !! cant you tell lol
couldnt find rubber so it wouldn't bend around the corners lol !, will look for some rubber edging.

The finished article, a few pics with the grill installed, it can be easilly removed to get at the clutch lever, also gives access to the allen screw that holds the end of the rope so it can be installed & spooled without taking front bumper off. Isolation switch can be seen to the right of the bonnet pod.

John, I think B&Q sell the rubber edging.....it's normally with the chequer plate sheets.
Thanks mate, had a look in B&Q but didnt look where the chequer plate was, cheers, will give me an excuse to go back tomorrow & have a wander round

BFGs mate, they are great on the Freelander, just a little bit more road noise than the Cooper ATRs I had on before, the coopers had slightly better grip but very weak sidewalls & didn't last anywhere near as long,

I'm looking at the BFG's or a set of Cooper AT3's, the AT3's are way cheaper, so tempted by them, apparently they're a lot stronger and more on a par with the BFG's. 50 quid difference per tyre inc fitting though!
Hello Matacaibo, You surely have another person interested!
Please tell me how to proceed.

Surprisingly (to me at least) VOSA is silent on the issue of location in this guide https://www.gov.uk/displaying-number-plates
Looks like you may be okay.

You could always print out a copy of the regs and keep them in the car just in case. I'd speak to my MOT tester for his interpretation of the rules too.
Hello John,
Did you get sufficient interest to have a small badge made?
