New 250 000 km badges

Many thanks to a Forum member from MA.
Due to his efforts, my wife and I have 300Ds sporting the new 250 000 km badges from MB USA.
This is despite the cars residing in Australia!

Thanks again, They look GREAT!
Just a note to others mounting their new mileage badges;
I needed to file 2 slots in the rear of one louvre of the grille to allow the mounting bolts to pass straight thru the grille. Otherwise the badge would have been facing down at the front. There are 2 half circles of nylon which I put either side of the grille and added stainless washers under the nuts securing the badge. To prevent the badge coming loose and faling off, I tightened firmly and then used side cutters to burr the thread of the mounting studs, well back from the badge.
