Further to recent posts and feedback on my various questions I have secured my RRS and should be collecting in the next week or so.

As i've been abroad this week I haven't seen the car - I live in Bucks, and Dealer is in Scotland. Looks good and happy with pretty much everything that I have checked and seen/photos. Am flying up at the weekend to finalise it and give it the once over.

The question I have is around the badges on the boot and how easy they are to remove and replace. The HSE i am buying has got SC grilles, but also previous owner went as far as replacing the HSE badge with Supercharged which I am looking to get back to normal. Can this be done as DIY or will it need to go into a garage for the work ? Also, where can the badges be brought cheap or is it a case of ordering from LR ?

Thanks in advance

Mate don't scrimp on the badges....they are not that expensive....plenty on ebay for you....but buy from sponsors on here if you can - you'll get a discount too.

and paying 20 something for a car, whats £20 or so for badges!! Get some beautiful tailored orig LR mats for about £130 - makes a big difference.....tasmods too (sill plates)

Cheers Nick. Have since seen some of the stuff you refer to on ebay etc....may get them ordered and get dealer to fit as part of the 'pre sales' !

If a mod can move this, I put it in wrong section - should have been in general.

Rear badges are fairly easy to remove, heat them with a hairdrier and they should come off with your fingers, if your struggling get a length of dental floss and use that behind the heated badges to help remove them, you may need some tar and glue remover to get rid of the remaining sticky residue left behind.
