Does anyone know how easy it is to remove the TDV6 badges on the rear Tailgate. Want to make it look like a better model than it actualy is, as with all the mods on it, it looks much better than just the base model.
Thanks,
PaulWish I had a D3, but at least I now have a Landie - YIPEE

Taking the TDV6 badge off will not make it sound like a V8...
Better to buy the other letters and pretend its an S, GS, XS, SE or HSE - why not go the whole hog and put HSEX on it ?

They don't even sell the V8 anymore in the UK, so all D3's are now TDV6 from base to HSE

I had my HSE removed by the dealer so that my employees can not tell the price of my luxury. Let them look at the price of the base model without options and they will anyway.

Piece of cake, took 5 mins, used some garden twine like a cheese cutter, the remaining tape can be simply peeled off in one piece, don't use any chemicals, it'll just smear eveything. A simple polish gets rid of what little adhesive remains. 100% gone & no scratches
PS. You don't need to hair dryer them, see my gallery for piccies
I was wondering whether there are any different Disco derivatives available internationally - beyond just TDV6 8 S SE HSE, to expand the limited alphabet of letters to create genuine-looking custom badging.Discovery 3 TDV6 5-Seat

Well you could take the X from XS and add it to the end of SE ... Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)
Or... take the T from the TDV, a GS, and the E from a HSE. Rearrange them and get
