Facelift rear lettering without the tailgate upgrade.?

I'm need to replace my bonnet and rear Lettering as it's showing it's age.

I don't want to do a tailgate update, however I notice powerful uk do some lettering for the upper boot for when you do.

I'd quite like to do the lettering only. Has anyone done this?

James

Ive just done my lettering today. You can get new lettering off eBay for not a lot. I was cheap and took mine off, and re-sprayed them Matt black, and stuck them on with some 3M sheets that id purchased Whistle

Just got to remove the lower "Range Rover" next weekend and relocate it:

I think I'll just keep as is but chsnge to black.

To remove I used a hairdryer and dental floss, but ordered the glue removal tool as even with 3m adhesive remover and elbow grease will take for ever. If you don't remove all of glue the new lettering won't sit flush

It's a drill attachment that removes the glue without damaging paint. I changed my green boot landrovef badge to black yesterday without one, but didn't want to risk it on the lettering , for £15 it's not worth it. Powerful uk sell them, also through eBay. Just search range rover lettering tool.

If you go on YouTube they have also done a video. Type in remove range rover lettering.
