Nevermind! Google is my friend.

PAIR Land Range Rover Union Jack Enamel Badge Self Adhesive | eBay

Best quality enamel die cast badges Measures 40mm wide, 24mm high, 2mm deep Self-adhesive Our badges are very sticky (most vehicle manufacturers use sticky badges these days) so wont fall off. However it wont stick so well to a nicely polished surface, so before you put it on clean off any car...

All I wanted was the British one - not an option when ordering from US. Only option was US flag. That's the reason why I'm so puzzled as to why I have a combo UK:Germany. Thanks everyone for the replies especially those that bring a smile at the end of the day!

If there’s enough demand we can do a run of enamel flags…..

as I recall most of the engineering took place in Germany until Magna took over to build the prototypes. Many engineers and managers came from German manufacturers like Mercedes.
But this said I don’t find anything about the place of the early development in the web. Probably @AWo knows more about it.

What do you mean by early development? You could read it officcally on the Grenadier website (News) in the past, that the first development partner was Mercedes-Benz Technologies which was transferred into AKA Automotive later. They developed cars like the E-Class convertible etc. in the past. Never a 4x4.

Interestingly this official press release has been removed from the website. I found our official news regarding this on Matsch&PIste ( https://matsch-und-piste.de/mbtech-ist-ineos-automotive-entwicklungspartner-im-projekt-grenadier/ ),

And the Internet doesn't forget: https://web.archive.org/web/20191007145538/https://ineosgrenadier.com/news

There is an INEOS Fitting Guide on the badge panel, from the standard badge to a UK flag badge. Perhaps we can also use a compatible flag for other counties like the US or Australia (hint hint @Stu_Barnes). Link here to the English version.

It is a panel rather than a flag, is the downside. There must be a way to replace the flag only for other countries.

I don't know why I'm laughing, it is being rolled out in Southern Scotland villages, Scottish Borders Council have already done so and Dumfries and Galloway Council have just started the roll out.

There are advantages to living a little more remotely! so far limits here are unchanged…… and no speed cameras, traffic lights, roundabouts, parking charges, enforced parking restrictions or dual carriageways. We just have potholes!

I didn't get one b/c of the RAI, but I want to order one and stick it on anyway.
Dealer is a little swamped right now and besides has no spares in inventory yet.
Any idea where to get one?
Or maybe an enamel and metal union jack of the approximate same size?

I believe you can order different flags from IA - although IIRCC, they're expensive.

Seriously weird it's the whole panel - I figured the flag was just attached with adhesive and could be popped out. Seems inefficient to stock different plates for every offered flag option.
 
Does the texture of the RAI seem appropriate for a decal to stick well? Or is textured to the point where a sticker will not work well?

Hi @Krabby I stuck my union jack on before last summer. So far it's still sticking well.

I ordered panels instead of side windows to avoid the French flag - some bstard just stuck it on my rear door window instead!!

Yes, the sticker is also on my rear window.
I just thought that the section with the 3 colours could have been made bigger, then you would have recognised straight away that it was supposed to be the Union Jack. :ROFLMAO:

Weird indeed. But someone will figure a way of removing the badge only. They must stick it onto the panel.

At least the Guides has given us some information. I have already used 3 or 4 Guides to get greater insight into the accessory and how to fit it. The LED Lightbar Guide meant I bought the INEOS accessory after studying the Guide, I had a short list of 3 brands.
