Freelander 1 (06) Fog Surround

[Reecekyalldavies]

I know this is a stretch but I’m looking for some fog light bezels/surrounds front left and right in any colour as I can spray them. If anyone has any spare or from a scrap car and selling cheap or even better free then please let me know

Fog light bezels get good money because they've been discontinued by LR for some time. I found a pair NOS in primer when I was repairing a 1.8 facelift over covid, but they still cost nearly £50 with the shipping.

This type…?

 

[Reecekyalldavies]

It’s like these but I do like the ones you have !

What model is that one with the more stuck out lights ??

Do people steal them ? I find it weird that both of mine weren’t there when I bought it

It’s an 04 td4 HSE.
I had a smashed lens on one when I bought it, so after much deliberation I removed them and blanked the holes with chequer plate, removed the nudge bumper (grey) and fitted after market spots.
So, I have the original LR surrounds and 1 good light in my box of spares!

Try your local scrap yard from time to time. You may get lucky

Those are LR accessory lights, I've got a spot light kit in my stash somewhere.

Factory fogs are recessed in to the bumper. Definitely worth having IMO.

Sometimes. There was a Chinese company making chrome replacements, but those haven't been available for some time now either.

The accessory lights (like the ones i had) are like rocking horse crap and serious £££!
I do like the look of the factory fogs, just think my FL was out to lunch when they were fitting them

The factory recessed fogs are pretty cheap if you need replacements.
The surface mount spot kits do seem to be getting good money now. Maybe I should be digging them out to sell on?

I added all the LR accessories to mine, including the front protection bar thing, as it was perfect to mount my LED bar to.

I have the nudge bar thing in my garage - i wanted to paint it as it looks drab and then fit lights to it, but never got round to finding a suitable paint (it’s made of a rubberised-type product).
I just used some of the bolt holes for it to mount some cheap leds to for now, using the existing wiring from the accessory lights.

One day…!

 

[Freddie17]

And yes - I think the light pack you have, gathering dust, will be worth a few bob!

That’s a rare lot - I’ve removed my lights (exactly these) and covered the holes now, so pointless to me but I’m sure there will be a good FL1 home to them on here.
Especially, as you say, given the fact they were donated for the charity.

I reckon that bid may go up

I've always fancied a set of those, but I reckon they need the LR rubber nudge bar thing on too to look right.

After a long time thinking about it, I’m just about to try and paint my nudge bar. If it goes well, I’ll put it back on.
I took it off ages ago as it was a faded light grey, and looked tired.
I’m trying an etch primer on it, and then perhaps either a standard Matt black or a textured black (like that Raptor stuff, but for realistic money )

I agree, which is why I bought the nudge bar for mine.

The nudge bar was available in 2 colours, a plane satin black plastic, and the same plastic painted in a satin light grey paint. It sounds like you have the painted one, which should be easy to cover in something like bed liner paint.

Yes - there is a black layer under the light grey - have given it a good degreasing and clean down this morning.
I’ll try a corner of the back, to see if the primer takes to it, and another with a light sand prior to the primer, to get a better key (which I suspect will be needed).
