2012 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 CSW Santorini Black

Through another Wanted ad on this forum, I learned that the cheap copies of the bonnet DEFENDER lettering can be different from OEM.
I had came across some very cheap ones.. that with the price listed could not resist not to click on the Buy Now button!!

Can anyone say what is the size of the OEM DEFENDER lettering, in terms of character height. In my search for the lettering size, I also found that there are copies made for the TD5 and earlier bonnets.

I am curious what I have purchased.. but will not know until they are delivered, which might take a few weeks more

If anyone is curious what I purchased, then take a look at this (log826 brunel grey):

The Td5 had a Defender sticker above the grill - wipe clean so no need to clean between the letters!

So the TD5s didn't have LAND ROVER on the bonnet then?

I just bought a '04 plate TD5 and it has LAND ROVER on the bonnet above where it says Defender in smaller letters like in your photo.

The LAND ROVER doesn't look quite right and I'm going to remove it as it looks like it's been added afterwards.

2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Montalcino Red

LAND ROVER/DEFENDER lettering on the bonnet edge only came in with the Puma.

IMO it never looks right on earlier Defenders as the bonnet leading edge isn't tall enough.
