Whenever I see a Land Rover without any badges at all especially on the bonnet I naturally assume the bonnets been resprayed. MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Take a pic of your car then use Photoshop (other photo editing packages are available) to remove the lettering in the photo. You can then flip back and forth between them and decide which you prefer. That's what I did before debadging my rear. |

that's what I thought with mine too but there were swirl marks on the bonnet showing where it had been cleaned and on the bumper, and with nothing showing against HPI for anything major, plus the full LR history with nothing untoward other than rear diff 4.5 years ago I was happy. |

If you're rebadging the bonnet because the silver looks too bright (on a dark colour), another option is to apply black lettering.

that's what I did with my letters, just to make it easier to line them up really. Started the L at the left hand spar and the final R at the right hand spar. Left the letters on the template to ensure the spacing. It creates a slightly larger gap between the D and the R but nothing noticeable. Ive now got black on black on the front which looks good IMO. |

I once had a Vauxhall Frontera as a company car. One day I noticed that the Vauxhall badge (which was a clipped onto the front grill) was missing. My kids owned up to having removed it weeks before as they didn't fancy turning up at school in a Vauxhall. It was actually an Isuzu so that's what they told everyone. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Just quickly knocked up the pic below. I'm tempted to debadge as I think the car looks cleaner, aesthetically more pleasing, without the lettering. But there's something stopping me - probably just an expectation that a LR should have the lettering on the front.

You could put "Ford" on the front since that's where most of the parts came from. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
