England 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 Dynamic Manual Fuji White
Black/ silver badges

Hi
I'm picking up my 14my FL up next weekend (should have been this weekend Sad ) and have been looking at small changes to "improve/ update" it slightly.
I've ordered a set of the newer style black/ chrome wheel centers and gloss black bonnet + tailgate badges but i'm not sure what size the badges are on the grille + tailgate (the oval ones) and also the rear pillars as i'd like to change those to black/ chrome Thumbs Up - anyone know the exact sizes?

Thanks

Did you stick them over the green badges or remove those parts and stick them direct to the backings?

Ive had 3 sets over the years from DMB and they have proven to be excellent. No fading or peeling and they have survived countless jet washes.
The only minus point is that the larger badges for front/rear are slightly smaller than the ones fitted by LR, but only by 1mm or so. Position them carefully and you would have to be up very close to notice.

... or take the green badge off and use the gel overlay one directly to the backing plate or grill. Works well! Very Happy

I put my gel overlays directly on top of the green badges without any issues.
