Badge debadge...

Washed and cleaned inside and out...

Recently done the side vents Matt black to match the side tubes and roof rails/bars... They may eventually turn gloss metallic depending on how I feel...

Thinking about black grill... Any thoughts or photos of this done on a black car you could share?

Backend badges removed and replaced by the RRS style Land Rover centered across the middle. Bit different, but very subtle in black on black... Don't want anything too bling and nothing too radical!

love the pics in your Gallery, looks really good. Have you thought about getting smoked side repeaters ?

Ive done my pre facelift grill in matt black plastidip, and changed all the exterior badges to black/silver gel overlay badges. Blends in really nicely.

Pics just added now - first time I've tried via mobile, I have a spare rear set if you are in the market. They may be going on the bonnet soon tho!

She's a 57 plate but is gradually morphing into the latest model lol! I have rear led and front signature strip headlights in the post as we speak...


No matter how much I do, I'll never be finished!

I colour coded my rear boot handle too, but was tempted to plastidip it in matt black to match the grill. If you dont like you can just peel it off.

I already have the Land Rover lettering thanks EY, so will probably give it a go this weekend. Not going for the Sport HSE badges as I have a black&white limited edition badge on already which I will move up.

I used the Ed China (wheeler dealers) method of a template and masking tape. Line it up, remove the backing and flop it down, very nerve wracking!
He did it on the FFRR makeover prob somewhere on the sky catch up!

I'm liking the Land Rover badge along the bottom of the tailgate Thumbs Up
Just a thought, on the earlier models isn't there a cover that can go over the tailgate handle which doesn't have Land Rover written? I think that it would look even better then, maybe color code it to your car? Whistle MY15

Yep I did that but the letters within the template had a wonky "E"
I straightened it today with a warm kettle of water and a sponge to avoid hand burns but get heat into it. I'd complained it was wonky and they sent me a full new badge set free of charge. Now I've fixed it, the new black letters can go on the bonnet. Bonus!

Any ideas or links for these? Never heard of them before. Do they do black?

The Land Rover part Here has 'Land Rover' moulded in. The Powerful UK version Here doesn't. Both are chrome finish ABS.

Wouldn't you do better looking at the full width painted to match facelift tailgate handle? No lettering on that.
