That's right Andy Thumbs Up

I must admit that I have always thought they didn't really look right on the bonnet front.

Don't mind the ones on the back - no need to hide the model etc... 2002 Honda VFR800

Before diving in an dremoving 'LAND ROVER' from the front - thought I'd see what it would look like.

And my decision is not to remove it for now..... 2002 Honda VFR800

I didnt remove mine on the XS, EY. I was going to remove them if i'd have bought the 'S' that i was looking at.

I removed them on an MR2 that i had. Bit of dental floss behind it and do a gentle back and forth action. You get me? Laughing Have you got some 'sticky stuff remover' for afterwards in case there is anything left? Smile 59 TD4e XS in galway green

After the gentle back and forth action, do I speed up towards the end Laughing

I like the front lettering and I'm thinking of keeping the SD4 bits on the rear right but the 'Freelander' to the left looks out of place, and yes I have just the stuff at work for removing the residue Thumbs Up

I'll say, it looks a bit naked without the bonnet letters... also I like to be a bit ... ehm... "arrogant" to remind my fellows in the traffic that "Here's a L A N D R O V E R" Smile just in case they forgot Wink It's never too late to learn something new...

I agree, I'm proud to drive a Landrover and see no need to take away a part of it's identification.

removing the letters on the bonnet is naff, and something a boy racer would do to make his corsa look cool.
