Want proper FL accessories? Look no further...

Carbon fibre bonnet? Bit bling but all the mods make em heavier so it makes sense to shed a few pounds so we can show up the fenders!

I'm thinking too much! How's about a carbon fibre hard top? That would be a challenge!

Looks very easy - or is it?

WTF, that looks like mine!? It is mine!!!

it is 3mm steel "zinkplated" (no salt on portuguese roads so rust is not a major problem round here), riveted on the original sump frame, the curve was made hammering it over a big steel pipe. here is a pic more from the side

Ah fair enough 3mm steel would do .

Yup 3mm steel should do. Why is it not dented and dirty? Must try harder!

only has minour scratches on front, by time the picture was taken it was only fitted for 1 month and it had rained that morning so it was "puddle washed"

I've managed to find a Freelander bonnet cheap in Derby, so I may well mosy on over and pick it up. It'd take a mould from it and then I could muck about with carbon fibre bonnets, light pods and stuff. Hell even completely sexed up bowler style with integrated pod and scoops !

6mm welded to the original frame by local trailer/ horse box shop
cost £50

I have the moulds already for bonnets and have 5 already made. Along with light pods, snorkels and tailgates. I'll be offering rollcages , both DIY bolt in kits for home installation and fully space framed style weld in cages.Also 2" lift kits
Anyone who wants pics can contact me via this forum, leave their email address and Ill get pics off to them.
In the coming months I'll be resurrecting Freelanderstorm.co.uk as I have bought all the rites from them to start producing this stuff again.
I'm also interested in hearing what people want for their Freelander so I can see what may be viable to produce. I do work full time so this will be a sideline and prices will be kept as low as possible.
I may also be looking at producing a winch mount for behind the bumper.

I'm liking very much

Wouldn't mind a G4 style front recovery hitch, and a 3 door roof light bar.

It's the bonnet light pods that caught my eye on an accessory site.
However the price was a little steep.... Possibly me being a little wet round the
ears, that remains to be seen .... In most cases Id rather see my hard earned cash
go in to another members pocket , that way I know it's money well spent ....

I've been having trouble posting images ( error message ) which is why I asked anyone interested to contact me via the forum and leave their email address.
However, I think I've cracked it now, so I'll try a few pics to make sure.
Ian

Ok, so those 4 pics worked.Now I can't get anything to load up again, so back to the original plan.Any more pics wanted of rollcages etc, then let me have you'r email address.
Regards..........
Ian

Ian, that's friggin sweet! Pretty much what we were planning! We've driften into other projects now and I'm glad to see someone has followed through!

Let us know if they go up for sale anytime soon .

There was one of those roofs on eBay a while ago, it was called a high top Commercial one? It just had a bit more head room and looked kinda funky

Oh right, just wondered lol

Those parts look good RealBeale, nice to see a snorkel with a bit of style.

If fitting a fibreglass bonnet then bonnet pins should be fitted.
