Poll: On bonnet lettering
So a conversation was had with my son last night about the lettering on the bonnet, we have freshened the front end and completely polished the whole car.

A debate soon started with the lettering Land Rover vs Defender

I like the original Land Rover

Son likes the Defender

So now i'm undecided on what looks best, so over to you for a vote on which is most favourable!

Feel free to comment

Don’t want the locals here thinking I have won the lottery during the lock down and bought a New Defender because they would not know the difference.... Rolling with laughter

Leave it naked as the letters are a real pain to clean round and the flies and insects in the summer love committing suicide in between them.

If you have to have letters, I would personally go for Land Rover. I have Defender on mine, but I prefer the former.

Yep, neither! I took my ‘DEFENDER’ script off the front, I think it looks better without. 2014 Keswick Utility 2.2

It depends how outgoing you are....I followed a new Range Rover the other week and instead of Range Rover on the rear boot it had Rebecca, with all the correct lettering and spacing etc. I guess it makes it easier to distinguish from all the other black full fat RRs around!

So anything goes, apart from Randy Lover obviously.

I'm in the Defender camp.

Probably because I'm so young, trendy and hip!! Laughing

Wait... "hip"? Maybe I'm just getting old. Very Happy

Stay safe everyone.
