Was going to recommend them too. Thats where I got mine from, plus you get templates to put onto the vehicle so that you get them in exactly the correct place. They hav a video on their site to show you how to go on; not that it's nuclear physics.

061music; yes they are easy. The ones on Powerful UK come with a template. There are instructional videos on their site how to do it. The hardest part is getting the old sticky clag off the bodywork once you remove the old letters.

Gary, a tip for removal of the old glue............ heat it with a hair drier, it softens the glue sof you can rolling all into a ball. To remove the old lettering warm them with a hair drier for a couple of minutes on a hot setting then get either some very fine nylon fishing line or some dental floss and use it like a cheese wire between the bonnet and the letters. Clean the area with some white spirits to remove final bit of glue deposit and then wash the area to remove the traces of white spirit, dry and stick the new letters on 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Oh yea that's how I do it/did it Tim, but it's still the worst bit of the whole job Smile
I used hair dryer and Snap-On plastic trim tool and eased them up so a great deal of the adhesive stayed on the letter, then I used brake cleaner to remove the residue, which also serves the purpose of degreasing the surface ready for the new letters. Once the new ones were on, I left them 24 hours and then went out and used a bit of nattys blue in and around the letters to put something back on the paint, protection wise.

So i've just started doing mine and using the white spirit i can't shift all the glue, does that matter? I've uploaded a picture to try and illustrate how much is left on.

And to top it off the rain has started falling Sad

Thanks

Hi pal I bought chrome letters from them front and back, very easy to replace I moved my tailgate lettering to the top, looks much better and added loads of chrome extras from them too, I am in Uxbridge greater London if you are nearby I can help you replace them.
