You can't show off black LR badges and not say from whence they came.
I've started something here haven't I
First thing's first, yes; two of them are "gel overlays" but I didn't treat them as such. It seemed no true badge in 70mm x 3(5?)mm existed in black on silver so this is what I had to go with but it doesn't look any lesser than the rest. When I got down to these ones I heated up the green/gold with a hairdryer and then attacked with a screwdriver to free them. Enter the gel ovals - I had to go around them a little with a pair of scissors and whittle tiny shavings off the edges to get them to sit within the C pillar badge retainers. You could treat them as overlays if so inclined but that's how I did it.
Next up, front grille and boot door handle. Would you believe they're the same size? In fact if you're eagle eyed you'll notice that Powerful lists the same item for each. This is the 81mm badge and unlike the gel you need simply prise off the old one, give the surface a good scrub until it's flat and clean of any existing adhesive from the old ones. Powerful also supply you an alcohol wipe to clean off the area as well, so I'd recommend a sunny day so that it dries quickly.
And lastly the steering wheel. If you're unfamiliar with the steering wheel badge; it's held together with six claws that prevent it from leaving a <LAND ROVER> ovular shaped dent in your forehead if the airbag goes off. I'm yet to find a replacement badge in that style so in this case I bought the badge and in this instance actually used it as an overlay. Just sit it over the green and it's acceptable.
Looks very executive or so I think

Hi @kernowsvenski , I think I bought a part off you yesterday that you've since relisted - just wondering if you'd spotted that I bought it? Ta!
Edit: Thanks very much, looking forward to having it on!
