I do like that grille, looks great, good job filling the holes. Will you be keeping the KBX light surrounds or going series 3?

I wonder if the badge would look better towards bottom right (when looking at the grille)? James

I did think that too!, I did place it there originally.
Maybe give it a few days and I may change it. Wink

I don’t mind the light surrounds for now...... Whistle 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

I agree

I thought it would look better on the bottom corner area

I take it, it is just secured with screws for the time being and easy to move? My confidence has been writing cheques that my abilities can't cash for years.

Nice job Ian, that's worked well.
Does anyone know if grille badges of that type are available as a replica aftermarket ?

The badge is easily moveable, I will do it in the week, I need to get 2 small stainless screws.


I’m not sure where my friend got these badges?
He buys and sells Land Rover parts, I will ask him if he had them made, or he just brought a batch from somewhere?

They are nicely cast and seem good quality, I’ve not seen this size before?
As I’ve said, I was going to fit them to the wing bottoms.

I’ve got a smaller size one on a Keyring, which would have been too small for the grille!

Photo is along side a £2 coin.
