It depends how OCD you are about looks. I'm too OCD, I would have to have it matching. Others may not care at all. The "Defender" badging is supposed to be in body color for MY24 so it looks like an aftermarket part. Unless it's supposed to be black for your model year? I like the body color badging it's more subtle, and it will match your silver emblems better. It's bizarre you can't order the exact cover you need, is it because the color is discontinued?
I still have it on there at the moment.
Everyone tells me they cant't tell it, nut like you, my OCD is screaming at me that it does not match and does not look right. lol
All that LR offers is Silver or all black.
So far, I have not any luck finding anyplace that offers one in Yulong white.

I'd go with the black, it won't look out of place at all. Like I said, you can also have a body shop paint the center part of the cover in Yulong, as it is easy to take apart and paint. That's what I did with mine.
The badging has always been in the color of the wheel cover since launch, but I dig the black badging! You can't get a Yulong cover because IIRC, they discontinued the color before they started offering body-colored wheel covers.
Sorry for the dumb question. but curious who or what is IIRC?
Was it you that ordered the Octa wheels? If so it may be a non-issue, you might want to show off the wheel without the cover. Depending on your locale a LR body shop prob has Yulong and you could just paint your current cover down the road as @CincyRovers mentioned if you still don't like it.

Good point.
I was thinking about that too.
That wheel does look good.
I am also thinking once it has the Octa Rims and the Falken AT3Ws on it, that should add to the more off road look it will begin to take on.
If anyone is importing wheels to the USA like the Octa Wheels I ordered just FYI.
Be sure and plan on an extra $100 a wheel for import duty fees.
Just got the Bill from UPS for another $500 bucks in import fees.
I sure hope these wheels are good quality and look as good as they did in the pics.
Between the price bump for the tires having to be canceled and reordering different tires yesterday, and these import fees, the cost of this setup has gone up about $700 this week. LOL
With that kind of full off-road wheel/tire setup you ordered I think it will look better without the cover. Solely from an aesthetic point of view I think the cover looks better on an urban style Defender with street tires/no mudflaps/no ladder etc. Heres mine with a more urban look...
