This is the badge I bought and it's exactly the same as the original badge that it replaced:

United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Cairns Blue

Ok cool, it does say in that add its a "factory syle, and the main pic seems to be a generic one. 3 pics down it shows the different styles. Was your original one original? Only asking as i recently purchased oen and was slightly different to the oem one, lik a few mm in height. '06 RRS Supercharged Cairns Blue

Mine was original.

The packaging for the Supercharged badge said OE original, the letters were just bog standard ones you can pick up from halfords.

The advert is a little confusing, but you get the brushed/chrome badge.

Some Chrome trim just doesn't want to come off!
I thought 5 min job, get the hotair gun out now the weather is a little warmer and dryer,
what a nightmare!, it took me nearly 3 hours to remove just one and I had to basically melt
the dam thing off!



 Regards,

Danny

It did take a while to remove all the silicon RTV or whatever the hell they had used but it did clean up alright
with panel wipe and elbow grease just got to do the other one now!
No such thigh as a 5 minute job eh! Regards,

Danny

I had to melt the chrome handles off mine.

Hot air gun until they started to melt and then pull. Was a nightmare but don't think they had been on long as the sticky underneath wasn't too bad to remove
