place in Germany to confirm that they can do them as well, failing those I'll take your advice and try the US one.

The Plakette's or Stadt badges as I thought they were called is another thing, the best picture I have showing them looks like a
red one on top and the yellow below, which is interesting as I thought they were both the same colour depending on the area,
I got Baden-Wurttemberg as it's the area for Stuttgart which seemed appropriate but maybe it could be a Wolfsberg which is red.

i think those stickers are as near as it gets without knowing anything special.
The color of the Plakette depends on the year, i sent you a PM, as i don't want to spam your thread with photos not belonging to your build.

I've sat in it, but it wasn't moving. In 2007 I think it was... A different type of patina back then...

I wouldn't let any of my artwork out like that, so I suggest you bin them and start again. :)

Just in case you're not aware Mike, the devil is in the detail. Things like this can make or break a project, but of course you know this, right?
