Should be an easy job, but it's a bit nervy when you drill the first hole!!
New badge from Artmin Design:  Click image to enlarge As was: Click image to enlarge (Both badges pulled/peeled off by hand easily!) Lots of marks on the tape from trying different positions! Ended up with one rivet above the existing rivet line for the wheel arch, and the other three below... Click image to enlarge Final result - well pleased! Click image to enlarge |

Very nice.
 I have a similar one, but from Falon Nameplates. You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Here's a pic of mine, it's been on all my LRs and was taken off my first series truck.

With these badges, isn't there some precaution that has to be taken to stop the badge "reacting" with the body of the Defender?
Cheers, Pickles. |

Mine was from Fleabay:
Click image to enlarge[/img] I think I shall follow your lead Nick-St and remove the Defender sticker too. Looks excellent. Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated  |

they do look great, I considered one myself but still have a thing about drilling holes so went for the raised defender (freelander) letters for "defender" (from Bolt on Bits) and left the original badge
sorry about the poor quality bb photo Click image to enlarge DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS, I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy |
