Who cares what Land Rover thinks? We paid for the cars, we can do what we want.

I'm afraid I have to disagree with Cambo on this. If you look up I posed a similar question around 6 months ago. I went ahead and bought the Ebay kit and have found them dreadful.

Firstly I don't think the front and rears are genuine Land Rover. Pretty sure they are not made in this size. I have had 4 badges delaminate themselves, across 2 different applications on both front and rear, several months apart. Basically the plastic front detaches from the silver background, and on all occasions I've found it just sat on the floor near the car. To be clear, this is the badge falling apart, not the adhesive to the car or black retainer.

Also as Cambo says, the Metal side pillar badges are home made and appear to have been cut to a rather jagged shape in places to fit in the retainers. This isn't so much of a problem, but mine too both lifted out of the retainer.

How the ebay badges have so much good feedback is beyond me, total and utter waste of £100.

I went the opposite route and bought the gel badge pack for £16 and have found them excellent. It's true that the lettering is not QUITE as refined but you'd never know without having your nose to it. Most people put the gel badges over the originals, but (as I had so many bits and pieces of broken badges lying around Shocked ) I stuck them straight to the black retainers, and they look perfect. I'd strongly recommend this approach...

HTH








Well it took a while but mine have gone to crap as well....

Hi All

Just registered here after buying a 2013 FL2.

Does anyone have any idea where I can get the full set of Black and Silver badges? All of the links in this and other threads I’ve seen are all out of date and not valid.

Many Thanks

Jase
