Scotland 2014 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Santorini Black
Badges deteriorating

Both the front and rear Range Rover badges on my 64 plate Autobiography have lost their colour and look tatty.
Every letter on the bonnet has the same failure but only one R on the tailgate has the same failure.
Is there any sort of good will replacement warranty on these as they really let the appearance of the vehicle down?

Have you owned it from new ? What do you clean it with ? Could it be down to a chemical used to remove flies etc from the front end ?

No I’ve only just picked it up.
But a few years ago Ford had a similar issue with their Ovals “corroding” and there was a goodwill replacement as it isn’t a great advert for the company to have your logo on the vehicle looking shabby.

Not sure on the previous cleaning regime but even so surely they shouldn’t fail like this.
It’s patchy almost as if they weren’t prepped before the Atlas Grey was applied to the base plastic.

Aah i had tried searching on the phone but couldn’t find that.

Looks like Powerful will be getting a visit then and i’ll just replace them myself as they really let the look of the car down.

I had this issue with a previous Range Rover, I put it down to the car cleaning agents used at the local car wash.

I bought some replacement adhesive lettering from a well known online auction site, search for Range Rover Bonnet Letters.
It was a very easy DIY task especially after looking on YouTube 😀.
Cheers
