I used them to do the badging for our special editions at work.
Can't speak highly enough of them.

Nothing was too much trouble and I will use them again Thumbs Up

Yep... Gavin is an absolute perfectionist - nothing's too much trouble for this guy and his quality of workmanship is impeccable.

A real pleasure to have dealings with.

I got the rear badge for Xmas - it really is solid and has some weight to it. I thoroughly recommend it. Can't wait to get it on the truck. Only question is whether is whether to rivet or glue. Rivetting looks good, but I'm worried about bi-metal corrosion and adding more holes in a defender is never good. Glueing would be easier but will it look ok/last?


My thoughts exactly... I wonder whether some automotive tape - like those on the bonnet letting would be an alternative?

Hi,

Just received my bespoke retro badge from Gavin for the back of my Landy.

Superb product and a very nice chap to deal with. Excellent service. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Managed to get it on the truck today and it looks spot on.

Cheers.

Is Gavin doing ok? Still in business? It seems his website is now gone. If so, this is a real bummer, he was a pleasure to do business with and made great stuff!

I had heard that he had stopped making badges. It's a shame if he has because he produced some really nice items at reasonable cost. (I have his email address - if you want it send me a pm and I'll dig it out for you). Defender 90XS SW

I’d like one of these and a dare say a few others would as well! If you get hold of him see if he will comes out of retirement for us!

I believe that Gavin retired but there's a company called Falon Nameplates that make them. Darren

They were at Peterborough Land Rover Show last year.

I follow Falon on Instagram and at present I believe they are shut down because of Covid-19. They have a small skeleton staff and a few bits and pieces on their website for sale which they had in stock and can despatch (well that was a couple of weeks ago).

Their castings are lovely quality. I was very happy with mine. Can't remember how much I paid off hand, but they weren't expensive and the delivery was really quick.
