Easy peasy if you buy genuine items. They come split as Range and Rover and the decals are already spaced correctly in their application cardboard tape. If you don't buy genuine then there's no guarantee the spacing would be as it should.

To install do one side at a time, then you can line up the new decals to the old. Remove them all at the same time and you'd have nothing as a reference.

Getting the baked on glue residue off was a nightmare, I tried everything short of a blow lamp.

Be prepared for a battle!.

I had the bonnet resprayed and when I first got it I liked the look of it without the letters, now I want to fit the black letters. Having a look at what iv bought it looks like it comes with a template, I'll give it a go.

If you have the template, you'll be fine.
Set it up and tape it inthe correct place, then stick your letters on Thumbs Up ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

If you want them straight, which i'm sure you do, then whatever you do, don't ask awd to give you a hand. Laughing Whistle
