Bonnet lettering
Hi all,

I’m after new Land Rover letters for the bonnet which is being repainted soon and guessing the current ones will break or be no use when they come off for the work to be done.

Rimmerbros want £120 which works out at £13 a letter! Really!!!!!!!??!!

Can anyone recommend another supplier?

Thank you!

If your current bonnet is badge-less with no sign of where they were, this will be fine.


Its very slightly smaller than the OEMy, but only noticeable if you put it over an existing badge, I know as I have it Smile

There are two import things to make sure it's going to look right at the finish

1/ you must use the correct template that holds the letters in the carrier. as this will follow any curve of the bonnet.

2/ you can only apply that template to the correct bonnet

Nothing is more annoying than lettering that is misaligned .

Good Luck
