Powerful UK bonnet lettering
As I'm sure you're all aware LR, by some kind of production cock up, accidentally replaced the "Land Rover" lettering, on the leading edge of the bonnet, with "Discovery" badging
I'd expect that this mistake may be rectified by a recall shortly but, until then, has anyone ever bought this repair kit?:
I've used Powerful UK before and they were okay but, at this price, I'd like to know if they are any good or not! 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: FL2 as a second car
2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!

Yes but by the magic of "vision" I know it's still a Land Rover by looking at the words written on the green oval badge on the front and back ...I mean how many times do you need to know? 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

I had them (black version) on my previous D4 for three years and had no problems with them.

Ah, but it's not for my benefit. It's for all the Audi, BMW and Mercedes driving underclasses to be able to read to remind them that they've bought the wrong car In this case, they've probably heard of "Land Rover", but might struggle with "Discovery"
The badge on the grille might be a bit too subtle for them.2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
