UnLandRovering - heronb - 27-06-2013 01:00pm
Looking at my MY13 RANGE ROVER I'm not too keen on all of the LR badges, think I need to go back a bit and replace them with RR badges.
The main ones for me is the grill and the wheel centres. Realise it's not just me as the MY13 grills go up for sale regularly.
Snobby? Maybe.

I replaced the wheel centres and tyre valve caps with RR ones during the week.

Pre-2013 grilles will be going up in value too. Strange how VW/Audi, Mercedes and BMW owners are proud to show off who the maker of their car is yet Evoque owners don't want to show off the maker of their car......... I'm proud to have the one Land Rover badge that my car has on the outside, I just wish it had come with a few less Range Rover badges stuck and etched on it - I think I counted 12 on the exterior alone which is milking a brand a bit hard.

I was at the pre-launch of the new Range Rover Sport two weeks ago and I noticed the emblem on the screen at start up is now the Land Rover symbol and not Range Rover!
Until I read it here I didn't realise the newer Evoques had the Land Rover badge on the front!

Do you want my grille then Tim?

Quite happy with the plain Jane one I have thanks!

replace your grille with an old grille (duckworth) en the center caps are sold on ebay, and also duckworth,
cost almost nothing!
Done the same and i like it better.
Look at these pictures:

Land Rover is the brand (JLR) Range Rover is the model, Evoque, Sport Etc.
RE: UnLandRovering - heronb - 27-06-2013 04:52pm
So in the LR stable there is Defender, D4, FL and Range Rover? (FF, RRE & RRS being specs?).
I see RR as a brand in itself.
RE: UnLandRovering - duckworthparts - 27-06-2013 04:58pm
yes sorry, LR is the company not brand as i said.
but LR produce all the models so there will always be a Land Rover badge on everything
