Mine were the same and the dealer painted them prior to collection. Since then a few have fallen off so I've bought a replacement set and will get round to fitting them when it gets a bit warmer. Can't confirm quality yet but it was cheap. 2017 5.0 Autobiography Supercharged

Sounds like the JLR OEM ones are no better than the ones from eBay/Aliexpress?

I've used the ones from PowerfulUK on previous vehicles and they've been perfectly fine quality-wise. They also come with a template to get them in the right place. I'd buy from them again. Hope that helps. Kev

I have just had this issue with my main agent - she had PERFECT lettering when she went in for a service and came out with badly faded lettering - those effing goons in the valeting bay use neat wheel cleaner acid sprayed on the bodywork which literally strips any lacquer, I am told they do this so they only have to spray the car and then steam clean to avoid having to use elbow grease and a brush.

They use neat TFR to prewash, this should be diluted up to 1000:1 before use |

I wont let my main dealer touch mine - I ask them politely NOT to wash it for these very reasons.

The paint is failing on my L322's front lettering - after the car was detailed.

Absolutely, the ones on ebay will be far superior in all likelihood. ebayers consider their reputation! BMW i3 Electric Car 2012 Full Fat RR 4.4 TDV8 (now gone) 2006 VW Touareg 3.0 TDi V6 |

Even though its undoubtedly strong chemicals that make the letters fade, it is still poor quality materials that facilitates the problem.
