The little vertical german flag badges you get on front grills? Where do they come from?

Where they standard fit on some cars or are they non oem badges. Can't seem to find any on ebay.

Hmm, don't really want one with the "M" on it. Guess I could cut it off.

The link GDBN posted is where I got mine from.

I've had a poke around google and a few people have bought them from there. The consensus is that they're stick on ones, but they stick good. No brackets or anything.

ye but u can easily get German badges, British ones aren't ten to the penny on ebay, so your suggestion to use model paint was good.
