Mercedes badge is a lot older than 55 and I'll bet loads of wealthy Chinese own them

I gather that Deedee80 has now completed the painting and converted it to a CND badge

That is bloody fantabulas, I look forward to seeing you on the roads of cornwall, you'll fit right in.

mine's a boring white, but its a minter so swmbo would cut them off and use them as earrings if I decorated" victor " like that.

I thought the Merc: 'badge' was the Ban the Bomb symbol from the swinging sixties .. Flower power .. psychedelic painted VW camper vans .. free love etc:

Nope, although it is similar - see https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ban+t ... 38&bih=533

Bear in mind you need to get the V5 updated to show the new colour.

How you describe it to Swansea is anyone's guess.
