Was looking at a few things on ebay and came across this, they bezeled out their rear badges . . . and what is with the German flag inlaid 0?

I only wanted to put the first 2 pics here but it was all one image . . .

"bezeled"? I think they are faux-jeweled. Looks like a set of women's badges.

The "0" in "German flag inlaid 0" is a "D" not a zero, for "Deutschland" ("Germany"), as in "Deutschland uber alles!"

There are certain markets those may work. I don't think I'll ring them for a distributorship!

I think he meant bedazzled, not bezeled.

D = Deutschland (Germany). You will see the 'D' sticker in Germany and Europe. Cars in Europe carry a country designation for inter-country travel identification purposes. In '08 when my bro and I went to Munich to get his BMW on European delivery, I picked up a set of the official German 'D' stickers...was going to put them on the SL and bimmer. Still have them around, never got around to it lol may do it sometime, the stickers have to be visable from the back of the car in Europe.

that's not an 'O' it's an oval with the German flag colors and inside it is the "D" I was talking about for Deutscheland... in Europe its a white oval with the letter in caps, and the oval has a black border.
