Door Card Black & Silver "Land Rover" Badges

I had these on the Autobiography and really liked them so thought I would get a set for the Vogue SE but then I saw the price... Shocked Shocked Shocked

https://www.powerfuluk.com/vehicles/range-...-l322.html

£205 for four.....

So I thought I would have a go at making some....

I commissioned some domed stickers in the correct size and stuck them on.... well nearly but it's never that easy...!!

Prize the rear out with a trim tool then remove,

The strap comes out pretty easily...

The problem is they are domed so you have to grind them flat, I used a powerfile held in the vice which worked OK, it's the type of plastic that goes "hairy" (See pic below) so a quick blast of a heat gun makes them look nice again...

Stick the new badges on and replace....




I may paint the original part black or silver to finish it off but I think they look pretty good anyway...

(I had to buy a minimum amount so have two sets of 4 left over, PM me if interested) Pete

They certainly look smart Pete, but I am not sure how tough they will be, especially on the drivers door..

I like those - mind sharing where you got them done? I'd prefer them in the more traditional green & gold.

Mike, I thought they might do that but they are below the level of the door card so they won't get knocked off, more like pushed on if you lean on them...

The glue is pretty strong so I think they will be OK, I had one of the same make stickers on fatty offroaders key and it stayed on knocking about in my pocket for years.... Thumbs Up Pete

I ordered some of the badges when they were considerably cheaper, not realising the door card is different. Went to powerfuluk to ask if they'd sell the neoprene washers that they supply as the backing pieces separately.

No, was the answer. We want to sell the complete set (with our markup added on)

OK, I'll never buy anything from you was what I said to myself.

The black badges are about £12 ea. (EKA000010PVA) they'd probably look better than the original Ivory ones as a backing - which are a fair bit more TBH!

I had some green/gold ones made up, after grinding and polishing the original badges flat, I tried one on the light backing, which didn't look 'right' to me so I used a black sharpie, which looked like someone had coloured the edges with a black sharpie....

I happened to have some satin black acrylic paint in a rattle can, so after a spray of adhesion promoter, I gave them (and my thumb) a coat of paint, let them dry thoroughly and applied the stickers. I think they look OK, the black makes them look more 'Land Rover' in my view.

Thanks - and thanks for the info on ordering Thumbs Up
I'm pretty certain I took away more material than you did - or it could just be the darker colour - they look to sit deeper in the door card.

Yeah, I think I prefer the green, especially with the drop shadow, but mine has black badges all over... Thumbs Up Pete

Mine did when I bought it, slowly changing back to the green/gold - keeping the SC grille though!

£205! Holy crap! I'm sure I didn't pay that much for mine a year and a half ago. What a rip-off. Censored

And now that I see those green ones, they do look smarter Thumbs Up Top job Bow down

Are the badges needed the same size as the steering wheel badge by any chance?
