I'm not the only one then...
As the MB star folds flat at the slightest knock I cannot see how it could be deemed unsafe. I still see new Jags with the leaping cat on the bonnet, talk about a fillet knife. Flat front of a 4x4, van or truck can't be any better than a flat star (lets not start that up again)

I think they'd have to do something about the Land Rovers running around with bull bars and nice heavy whinches with those big hooks hanging off the bumper before they came after us!
