Hi all

We optioned the black pack but thought it looked odd to still have major pieces of plastic in grey. So these are now glossy black as per the rest of the black pack; some photos attached.

Note that our market does not include a bonnet airbag... Would be nice if the bonnet for the markets without the airbag didn't have the plastic segment. I've also seen it body coloured on another car... can't tell from far that it is plastic!

Cheers
O.

You need the sport badge on the tailgate in black

Yes, agreed! I did think of that but I was worried the shop wouldn't put the letters back in exactly the same place... And wasn't sure what to do with the 'hse' badge which has a silver surround and black letters. Would need to paint the inner letters a different colour. Or remove it all together.

Also the side steps should be a candidate (someone suggested plasticity for the non rubber portion). Where to end?!

Nice!!

Here is a close up of the badge that has the 'Si4' lettering. I guess easiest thing is just to remove it...

I think just the black sport badge would look really good on your DS

Oliie looks great now that they are all black. My DS is white and I hated those grey pieces. First thing I did was to get rid of them. How did you manage to change them? Paint or vinyl wrap? I agree with Paul you should get black sport badge. I also managed to change all 4 LR oval badges to black and body colored bumpers and sills. Looks clean IMO. You can see photos I posted in members gallery

I have the RRS (SPORT HSE) badging that Paulthewall has, matches the DISCOVERY badging 98% from 3 feet. My last job is the front and rear lower scuttles and airbag cover, same for me in Canada (no pedestrian airbag).

Looks great with the 'full black pack' done, get the rear badges swapped via eBay <$20

Disco, I've swapped/overlaid my front and rear ovals, where did you get the side ones in black/silver from?

 

[PaulTheWall]

I have the black landrover badges for front and rear but decided not to fit them as I couldn't find the side badges or the steering wheel badge ... The Green is really dark so looks ok

I'm in U.S. So no bonnet airbag either. But why stupid grey cover???

Anyway I looked really hard and found the side bagels to be the same ones as the freelander side badges. An eBay seller from UK has them in black. Very Expensive though. Do a search on eBay for freelander supercharged rear quarter pillar badge, you'll find.

 

[PaulTheWall]

£95 for the set !

 

[Disco]

I know. So it all depends on how bad you want them. Haha. I had the front and rear blacked out and the rear pillars wrapped in black. The green badges just really bothered me.

$200 for two badges.... Geez!

 

[Disco]

its $90 for a pair. Well still crazy expensive. Rare they are for sure

Hey guys, PaulTheWall, adam.d.lloyd,

So I bought the full set of the FL2 badges (front, rear, sides, steering wheel, alloy caps) from andibitz on eBay.
Devastated to find out that front and rear badges are bigger than on DS.
Did I get the wrong ones? Or does FL2 has bigger than RRS? Please share the links to the items you have ordered. Thanks

Thanks for sharing this. I was about to order the same set!

Here are the photos comparing LR2 badges next to DS badges.

Front. LR2 badge is slightly bigger, so would not fit

Rear. LR2 badge is also slightly bigger, but as there is no housing - it may work

Side. LR2 badge appears to be 1 to 1 with DS. Perfect match

Steering. LR2 badge appears to be 1 to 1 with DS. The finish/quality, however, does not match DS (hard to tell on the photo)

Alloy caps are the same as on DS black pack - the logo has green background, not black! Makes them worthless.

Ironman, Sorry to hear he trouble you're having. I only purchased the side badges from Andy as the front and rear are smaller on DS than freelander. The front and rear on DS are the same sizes as RRS. They are everywhere on eBay you can find. Cheap. A tip for easy installation, I didn't swap out the holders, just over laid the existing.

Great pics, thanks for posting. The font is also incorrect on the side badges.
