Evening All,

Pretty sure I know the answer to this but on the 2003-2006 face lift are lamp guards always screwed into the wing meaning there will be some lovely holes there?

If so what **** at Land Rover thought this was a good idea?

Found a Freelander Sport to the spec, mileage and color I like but it has lamp guards fitted. If they are all screw fit then the only way round this is new wings! :doh: which means the search will have to continue!

Thanks

Ben

P.s anyone know of a Grey, 5 door, Freelander Sport, TD4 Manual with less than 60k on the clock for sale? NO LAMP GUARDS!

Not sure I like the look on them and they are abit pointless, headlamps are plastic so not likely to shatter from stone impact.

Thinking I might have to if I can't live with them but finding one to the spec I want may take forever.
