which side of grill does mileage badge go?

Hello,
I have an 82 300TD which came with the first level mileage badge on the passenger side of the front grill. Is that the "correct " side?
Thanks in advance.
Paul

Yes, it should be on the outside of the grill so other drivers can see it...

I just got one and put it on the drivers side second row from the top. I don't know what is considered "correct" but it looks good there.

Here's mine. This must be a popular spot to put the badge.

On the 126 I put mine on the right, just right of center. Used the badge to cover a broken vane in the grille insert. On the 108, I put it in the same spot just because.

I have one of the old 200,000km badges on the pass. side, top. And I have my 250,000km one on the driver's side, top. I have my "Stuttgart" badge that I got on eBay right in the middle. Now I'm driving as much as possible, working for the 500,000km badge!
