Yup, they look real enough to me. If you can persuade your dealer to order you some then they're only about £3 each from LR Parts..06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!

Nope, it's a bargain relative to other eBay prices (£30 a pair or so) that I've seen, but not compared to what the seller is buying them for 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!
But.... for a D3 you need two 'front' badges, the rear one is designed to go on a flat panel on the back of a RR or RRS and won't fit in the rear door handle on a D3
I'm fairly sure that's the same seller I bought a couple off for Simon, I just mailed him beforehand to check he could supply two of the front ones instead of a front and rear
If you get any let me know and I'll tell you the best way of getting the old one off the front without making a mess of the grillThe End

Just fitted the badges to my D3. They are easy to fit, thw front grill actually unclips which makes life a lot easier.
Afetr un clipping the grill drill a hole through the centre of the badge, I used a 4mm bit. This will allow you to place a small flat head scredriver between the grill and the badge to lever it off, this protects the painted edge on the grill.
Rear is a dodle, large flat head scredriver and simply pops off.
You do have to remove the outer edges of the badges to fit. I used a bit of no nails for adhesive.

Er I know this is a bit obvious but why are people putting "Supercharged" badges on non-supercharged vehicles? Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Oh god - I can see that I'm gonna be spending cash fairly quickly on all these little why-did-you-buy-that?-just-because-it-looks-great items ... ... on a similar vein wasted £150 and a whole day fitting the shopping trolley handle (as seen in avatar) on the C8 for this reason alone - missus just couldn't understand it - and she was right, I never slid them open to use them as roof rack bars Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)
