A contact in Scandinavia has come up with somebody there who makes them to the correct font, and I'm just waiting on another
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.

maybe that's why I'm a little economical with the pictures these days......
Can I put my order in now please - I'll pay extra for a signed early edition and even more if I can have a photo of me sat in the car

I've been for a ride in it. When I rode as a passenger it was silver with Martini stripes

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

It moved when I sat in it, from Silverstone circuit to a nearby hotel from memory

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?

Yes Mike, take note
