This is a secret night time drive of a pre-production Freelander, before the car was released to the public
A decent thin cutting disc I found to be best, went through a couple before I got the knack. I started a thread about opening the lights a while back, will update it over lunch with the end results.warpc0il wrote:Opening the rear light units isn't that much of a problem, as a few people have found, using a fine saw blade in an oscillating multi-tool or a Dremal.
The challenge is to create an edge that can be glued back together without the joint showing.
There are plenty of used ones around to practice on.
Wow! That is incredible. Wozza will be quaking in his boots if he sees this!wgimenes wrote:Created a new mod: sun visor extensions

They look really good. I thought it looked like the centre grille before I read the text. I wonder if anyone else has done it that way.thomo8568 wrote:Gave it a wash and test fitted my oil cooler grills.
I've already covered the oil coolers with mesh but didn't like that they didn't match. So cut up an old center grill. Not bad for a first attempt.20170616_202937.jpg

Tint Applied:
Laquered, bit of orange peel:
Sanded and rubbing compound with some elbow grease:
Just enough of a tint for me:
Hoping the weather holds to get them on the car after making some upgraded foam/rubber seals..

Full snow foam x 2, Meguires compound, Megs clear coat polish and finally a coat of carnauba wax. Silicone all black plastics and clean glass inside and out.
Sweating my nuts off for 4 hrs.
