Just showed the picture to my wife... She asked if it had just been repainted as it looked very plain...

If you like the badges off, fine, it looks ok.... But put them back on before you sell it I would say. Previously..

Badges.

If you remove them then other RR drivers will just think you've got the boggo spec and trying to hide it.

It looks wrong to not have badges, and they need to be as the factory intended for me. I hate seeing wrongly badged cars too, a Supercharged badge on a TD6, come on! Discovery 4 HSE

2018 Range Rover SVAutobiography 5.0 SC V8 Santorini Black

They don't badge Autobiography models with engine size because apparently AB is meant to be 'more discreet'.

The size of the AB badge shrank considerably from L322-L405. To be honest I think that's because LR wanted to use the same badge for the Sport in which AB sits under the Sport badge.

When I saw a pic of yours with the SDV8 badge on the rear, I had assumed you had put it on yourself as my Autobiography has no SDV8 badge.

That's how it came, so I left it like that - I don't really like it though - seems too busy - almost trying too hard.....

Looks fussy to my eyes with multiple badges and fonts (particularly don't like the L405 "Vogue" script).

I think the LR badge will remain for the time being then.

The factory removed the oval Land Rover badge on the boot of late L322's and they came back with the L405 so the factory's intention to have them or not is not very clear either! And I don't like everything the factory intends for their cars like the fake side vents on the door, they look OK in body colour but I think they look awful in contrasting colour. So I would say make your own mind up and do whatever looks right to you.

2017 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 SC V8 Corris Grey

I know someone who always has everything (including the RANGE ROVER lettering) taken off, not just as a style decision but also because he thinks that many RRs are stolen to order and if there is nothing on the car it makes it less likely that it will be taken. Only Range Rovers since 1988

I always prefer correctly badged as per factory specification.

Good idea! Second thoughts, a 7 year unlimited mileage warranty on a FFRR may just sink the Korean economy.
