Northern Ireland 2008 Discovery 3 TDV6 GS Auto Stornoway GreyDiscovery 3
Guess what I spotted today!!??

In Tesco's carpark (Banbridge, Co. Down) today, I spotted a D3 in Java with.... The letters 'L A N D R O V E R' across the bottom of the boot Shocked Exclamation It did appear to be the proper decal as across the front bonnet, but neatly placed on the plastic strip across the bottom of the boot door, near the bumper (ala RRSport style!)

I am just sorry I didn't have my digi-camera with me... and sure I know my phone takes pic's, but I barely know how to make a call with it!!!
If spotted again... I will get my 3 y.o. daugter to snap it!!

Any opinions from the mass????? Dr. Evil

I think one of the U.S members did it to his and put a pic up, there's a thread on it somewhere.

Is it me (or the wine Embarassed ) but looking at the Q8 pic... does the letters go up hill in the middle, then back down to the end.... poss. caused by how they are made for curve of bonnet?

Now this may seem a stupid point and slightly off topic. I assume the lettering comes from the leading edge of the bonnet. Just wondering if these letters would fit on the recessed lettering on the optional 'A' frame. sad innit Crying or Very sad

ronp ....the exact same thought crossed my mind too, Im going for the A bar but do think its a shame it covers up the LAND ROVER bit on the bonnet, one of the cars best styling points in my opinion

yeah Chocolate, I agree and think the silver lettering will contrast well with the black frame. We'll just have to wait for the experts to get back to us....where is TFC when you need him?

After seeing this post, I thought what a great idea, so ebay there I went! Stuck them on today, (god it was cold in the wind). Here is a pic so you can see what it looks like with the Discovery 3 lettering rather than LR3
