Anyone replaced "Discovery" lettering with "Land Rover"??

I am considering replacing the Discovery hood (bonnet) and back (boot) lettering and putting Land Rover on both because the Disco and Disco Sport have the same and I just like the look of previous Disco's with the Land Rover lettering better than "Discovery" - anyone done this? I'd love to see a pic.

Haven't done it. I actually took off the Land Rover and LR3 on my LR3. When I had a clear bra installed I removed it and never reinstalled it. Might remove Discovery from mine, especially if a letter ever falls off.

I like the idea. Maybe get a clean photoshop rendering first and see how it looks. Or just put the letter “V” dead center, that could look cool!

I bought the letters and they came with a template to space evenly and such. Not sure they follow the curve of the hood well enough to bond properly. Will try on a quiet weekend.

Are the factory letters just stuck on or are they secured with pegs and holes in the hood?

Double sided tape is how they attach.

Wish I had put discovery on my hood instead of new Land Rover when mine needed replaced on the LR3

ive replaces mine with black ones on both range rovers I have and it’s a better to just forget the template and use 1” blue painters tape to create and underline and then a vertical strip in the left side of each letter.

I removed with fishing line after heating them up and it worked like a charm.

Super tweaks sells a great attachment as a drill bit to remove any residue as well.

Getting ready to swap the girlfriends discovery letters to black this weekend.
