I've lost the letter 'L' off the bonnet - don't ask.
Does anyone have any ideas of where I could source a replacement?
It's a 2004 Defender.
Thanks.

Thanks, I looked at them but you can only buy the whole set. I just need the one replacement letter. Plus the cheapest ones on there come from sellers with dodgy feedback!

I was thinking a scrappy might be the best option but I was hoping someone might have one!
It came off before - my boys used to climb on to the bonnet and roof and have their lunch up there - I got some of the proper tape and put it back on. When it got knocked off again I put it in the dash for safe keeping. When it came back from garage for mot it was gone.

I bet they are Defender specific size?
Not the same as any other model ?

@gstuart just debadged his D3 but don’t think same size/style.

Good luck in selling it though.

Hi, they're black, there's ones which look perfect on eBay but whole set only. Paddocks & Craddocks don't do them individually anymore

They look about right thanks Gary, I'll check. Think originals are curved but might get away with it!

Why do some Defenders have defender on the bonnet and some have Land Rover?
