were do you get them with the badge not on them and also are you able to make them?

its been asked so many times. search will reveal all, especially the grill..

you can by them though from maxmymotor on ebay, at least you can buy the coloured grill...

not so sure about the tailgate...it can be DIY'd though if you have time and a bit of know how...the grill isnt a particularly challenging task either if done properly.

Little trickier than you may think tbh, the way i did my ZR handle was ......

Remove badge, cut off the badge recess, start sanding it all down, when pretty much smooth you need to fibre glass the 2 holes from underneath, a few light skimmings of filler and a final sanding down.

Its the sanding down thats a pain in the arse.

hmmm, think ill stick with my just colour coded tailgate then!

If I got hold of a spare I'd possibly think about it. But only when if/when I do my front grill, if I removed the front Rover badge (which I probably will) then I'd do the back. WOuldnt make sense having one badge really..since there the only badges left on my car now :)

Thats how I'm planning to do mine. I definitely want it colour coded and I definitely want to remove the badge. Then I want some nice fine mesh!

But then after I've removed the front badge I will have said problem of having just the one rover badge on the rear.....

Tis my plan Dan!

Going to go there on Thursday and hopefully score myself a set of bumpers aswell, and yeah, im going to debadge a boot handle, and then see what it looks like, if i like it i'll whack it on, if not ill put it on ebay.

Im mightily tempted to do it, just because the bumpers on there at the moment are far from perfect (scuff's, a few nasty dings and what not) and i really do want the car to look a bit tidier.

Im going to get a pair of spare bumpers, smooth em and then see if i like em, same rule applies as the debadged stuff, if i dont like it i'll just sell it on ebay xD
