Looks nice, I bought some carbon wrap but haven't used it yet. Will have to give it a go.Bought some carbon fibre wrap of E**y for another project. However the door handle trim looks naff to me so thought I would have a go.

All you need is the wrap, a hairdryer and a sharp Stanley knife and patience
Someone has already had a go at respraying ours but not well so it looks pretty crappy now. Do you need to take off the door card to get that part of the handle off?It was easier than I thought, as you heat it up with a dryer it just stretches allowing you to pull out any creases. Looks better than the original finish. Bonus is if you dont like it you can remove and either go back to orig finish or put another finish on.

I fancy gloss black for the Champagne coloured trim bits. The door release handles would look better in chrome. I'm sure that the chrome from a Rover could be made to fit.
Thanks, makes the job much easier than I thought then.nope, big wide lever under the bottom most part and just slowly persuade it to unclip . the upper most bit is the tricky bit but it justs pops off when you get it in the right position.
After a bit of a search. It looks like the chrome door release handles from a D2 will fit the Freelander.
why is it familiar????
Ah do what I did take them off an mgf. they are basically the same but from memory they only rivet in three places. Also they have a bit of metal that sticks up and fouls the plastic door cup, just bend this back and all will be well.
Now that looks better. I want to replace to cloth on the door cards with leather, just to add a bit of luxury.A quick picture.
