Update - See 15.09.13 entry 'in the metal' - opted for original OEM SC plate plus Powerful brushed lower sill plate

Hi,

Just wondered if anyone had any preferences on which Powerful UK lower sill plate to compliment the original recently refurb'd SC tread plates (have posted a refurbd tread plate image/the image taken before sticking back on the SC badges.. the refurb image might assist 'colour matching' to the x2 Lower sill images off the Powerful website)... Or if anyone has tried any other make sill plates?

Thanks

Second set that has Supercharged etched into them look the best to me.

I am pleased with mine....

Thanks both, the SC ones look nice (as do the plain) just wondered if ref to supercharged on both the tread & lower sill plates might be too much...

I have some nice ones made by Lockwood.

Fairly plain, but they are very good and fit well..........

I agree with PLD, reference on one or the other, looks too much otherwise, may as well shove a V8 badge on the front quarter as well  2013 L405 Autobiography Baltic Blue

I think if you have the 5.0 then the Supercharged ones look good under the Autobiography one like Adams

I also have the Powerful SUPERCHARGED ones and they look great against the silver paintwork.

Buy them. Fit them. Admire. You won't regret it.  Si. <This is my name.

Thanks all/ Vogue's point noted too. It's a 4.2 SC not a 5.0 (always try to keep cars immaculate but totally original).

There are some - probably typical - scuffs on the driver's door lower sill (not horrendous but I want to banish them as they're about the only visible 'flaw' on the car) and so it's either have the sill painted or buy a quality but subtle sill plate, hence asking for thoughts on which plate.

Btw, meandering OT I saw a 2008 4.2SC in red with only 5k miles for sale on AT yday for about £32k which is in 5.0 territory...

Thanks again

Agreed. Less is more your in a Range Rover = understated elegance, it's too easy to over do a good thing with too many badges and labels and ruin the effect and end up looking like you have spent all your pocket money in halfords

Agreed. It's a bit like sometimes you see some numpty with a 5.0 Supercharged and they have 2 badges on the lower right tailgate. The original Autobiography badge, and then they've put a 4.2 derived Supercharged badge there too for good measure. Like we can't see the 2 exhausts...  Discovery 4 HSE

I subscribe to the less is more approach. My lower sills were badly scuffed so I had them repainted and then fitted the Powerful plain brushed covers to stop the same from happening again. Does the job without looking like a chav's chariot. 4.4 TDV8 Vogue Baltic Blue MY11

what sill plate did you go for in the end Ryan? ... - .- -.

Just got car back from the garage today Stan... Was set on the SC lower sill plate as the original upper tread plate SC badges are so discreet.. both styles look very good... on looking again today at the above powerful image of the brushed plain one, I'm wondering if in the flesh that might look more subtle on the car... Used to be indecisive... Now I'm not so sure... It'll be one of the two styles though!
