Scotland 2006 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Buckingham Blue
Titanium Lettering on buckingham blue

i have decided to change the RANGE ROVER lettering on the front and back to titanium silver. i was unsure at first as i thought it might look daft on the pre facelift model but i managed to find some photos of buckingham blue cars that have been changed and really like it.

originally i was going to cheap out and remove and paint them but by the time you have sourced or made a template, bought some kind of tape to refit them and repaint them i think I'm just going to buy them. I have found ones from powerfull uk on ebay with the template included but it said for tail gait and I'm just wondering if the bonnet has different spacing or sizes ?

anyone got some photos of titanium lettering on buckingham blue pre facelift ? here are the ones i found what use think ?

I think it looks smart. Definitely due to the dark paintwork - not sure it would work otherwise.

incidentally I brought replacement lettering for a TD6 direct from Land Rover and they came on a card spaced correctly. Not sure if that still how they are supplied as his was a few years back.

Good luck

Sent powerful UK a message to see if there is any difference between the tailgate and bonnet lettering as they have them on ebay just now for £10 template included but it says tailgate in the product description. So not sure if that will do the bonnet. Range Rover Vogue 2006 4.4 AJV8 | Buckingham Blue | Parchment Leather | Supercharged Grill+Side Vents | CA02 HEY ( NOT 02 PLATE )

If you have the old letters from the tailgate, hold one up to the letters on the bonnet. You will see that they are slightly curved to suit the bonnet. The ones on the tailgate are flat in comparison.
Here is our motor after painting the lettering and trim. They contrast well with the darker coloured vehicles, not sure how they would look with a silver or white vehicle.

Could you not put a base line if masking tape then vertical tape lines against each letter for redid positions? Thumbs Up 405 AB exec seats Baltic and Cirrus

I was thinking along those lines but I think you would be giving yourself a really hard time trying to remove the gum/glue underneath without harming the masking tape. Range Rover Vogue 2006 4.4 AJV8 | Buckingham Blue | Parchment Leather | Supercharged Grill+Side Vents | CA02 HEY ( NOT 02 PLATE )

The front gen LR are on a slightly more curved template from memory, and are different from the boot ones.

Got mine off Dan, the gen ones aren't cheap, think the front lettering was about £57, same for rear and then the tailgate strip was £33, then don't forget the Vogue badge..... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I have ordered the rear tailgate lettering for £10 I looked on powerful uk and they do sell separate templates but the only thing that looks different is the rear template has squares edges and the front is round at one end but the spacing looks exactly the same. So I will check and see if the rear template fits over the front and then I will just remove the fronts and paint then Re attach.

Cheap skate I know but at least for £10 can't go wrong and I can decide if I like it

is the vogue badge and boot strip Titan silver on the new models ? Think I might De badge the vogue and LR badge anyway Range Rover Vogue 2006 4.4 AJV8 | Buckingham Blue | Parchment Leather | Supercharged Grill+Side Vents | CA02 HEY ( NOT 02 PLATE )
