More custom badges!

Ivan’s still working hard on the custom badges I mentioned on the site yesterday.
The latest piece of handiwork is a griffin prototype, though he and I both agree that the tongue needs to be metallised rather than black as it’ll get lost on a darker colored car.
Remember, if you’ve got any ideas for customised badges, [...]
