Edamballs badges seem to fit well from the pictures.

Mine are also looking fine from a distance. But when taking a closer look, you can see the green.

Is it just me, or are the gel badges just a bit too small to cover the originals?


I found that after a day or so they (particularly the front grill badge) appeared to have shrunk and be a fraction too small as you describe.

I rewarmed and tried to stretch it to get a seamless cover but with no success.

I'd be very interested to hear and see pictures if possible of how you get on.

I've contacted DMB about the bigger size. Waiting on a reply atm.
I also noticed that the edge of the badge is white, i'd love to see that in black.
Today, one of the side badges came partly off Big Cry

Again with the badges coming off Rolling Eyes
Mines been on for a few weeks now and had no issue with them what so ever

Here's how I added mine

Solvent cleaner on a cloth giving the old badge a good clean getting rid of all the dirt and polish till its squeaky clean
I cut each badge out leaving the backing on, heated the old badge with my heat gun for around 5 seconds moving the gun left to right - held the new one in my palm heating the backing paper the same way for around the same time.... peeled the paper off making sure I never touched the stick
Lined it up sticking the middle first and with a micro cloth worked it outwards then a quick blast with the heat gun 4 to 5 seconds finishing with a good wipe round with the micro cloth Thumbs Up

If you heat it to much its gonna shrink : Thud BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

To anyone else still thinking about fitting these gel badges - I have fitted mine today and have taken some piccies for you.

I think the side badges are almost a perfect size and I can't see any green at all even up close:



I think the front and rear ones are probably a millimetre or two too small in height so I have put mine slightly closer to the top so the green is at the bottom and not so visible:



Hope that helps Thumbs Up

(There are a couple of close up shots in my gallery if needed)

I have removed mine. In my opinion, the quality was not good enough for me. They are good but had the printed look about them. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

Green oval is the only way, even LR admitted that they had lost their way a bit, so now the Range Rovers will feature the green oval. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

I agree, it's how it should be. But tbh I wasn't keen on the green and gold badges, the silver looks much nicer. Thumbs Up
