Saw a Nissan TV ad the other night, not sure which model.

One of the features was an illuminated grille logo, but text at bottom of screen said not
an option on UK models.
Anyone know why :?:

Perhaps an illuminated front badge is restricted to Wolseley cars in the UK?

That looks plain stupid, you got them on ali for few euros, i made the front emblem in carbon fibre which looks robust and pretty cool,

I don't like the carbon fibre logo you have made, it looks a bit too flat and cheap, if it were 3D it may have stand out. The illuminated logo looks ok. Seems to be a thing now that all car companies jumping on the same band wagon. The same way that now they have mostly redesigned their logo's to be non 3D. i.e Kia, VW, Reanult, Nissan etc.

Legislation - it's also affecting other cars such as the ID.Buzz
