I've had the same problem finding these (must admit that I haven't looked that hard recently). Need to respray before I worry too much about them.

I have a V8 badge on the side that I made from Black and White Fablon (copied from the original Rover V8 logo). They look good, but took a while to make so I didn't bother doing the letters for "Landrover"

.

If these are too hard to find now, if anybody knows a sign printer (you know, someone who does those laser cut vinyl ones), maybe get a few knocked up and sell them on to members of the forum.

It has been discussed before on here but I am not sure if anyone actually found any.

craddock doesn't seem to do them any more, but there are a few sites that you can input text and it will come out as a logo (the only problem being that you have to find the right font):

there are also some amusing slogans you can get:

this is the closest i can find

select plain black, go to the bottom of the second column. in the text bar @ the top type "Land-Rover V8" exactly as you want it on the decal

Its getting that silver border that finishes it off.

This picture I knicked from DB's website doesnt really show it very well.

yeah...maybe there's a site that you can input that picture and it will make the logo?

The V8 logo was what I made. Used black fablon with slightly bigger letters in white beneath it.

Maybe order it in black then order in white, slightly bigger font and stick the black one on the white one (does that make sense!)

I found myself a set!!!! On an internetshop here in the Netherlands the were.. Original off the shelve stickers. Both 2 "Land Rover V8" side decalls + rear "V8" one.

Found them on http://www.maanrover.nl

Don't know if they have more, but you could at least try.
Might be a little pricey to have them shipped to England or even USA, but ok...

I have found someone who can make them as per land rover originals. I am waiting for a price but if they are not to expensive who wants a set?

i'll take a set as long as they're not too expensive

Manfred · Post by **Manfred** » Fri Mar 16, 2007 8:09 pm

The complete set put me down €60,-

if i could understand the script on that website i'd buy some!!!

I believe the e-mail adress was eelco[a]maanrover.nl
That will make it a bit easier I guess?

Saw you writing French, so could have been you were able to understand Dutch as well
