Need Help - Why does a NA build vehicle have a UK/Germany Flag emblem??

[Catpaw4x4]

Hello ALL,
Need some help. Just received a photo of the "flags" on my "G". Showing UK:Germany. This is a NA build. What's up?
Plus the panel to me is very clearly gray and not black. Photo optical illusion?? Photo was taken with an Android phone.
Anyone know what's up ? Have ideas? I've reached out to the sales agent to send more photos. If the exterior parts are not black as advertised - this sale is in serious trouble.
Thank you all!
Cheers!

The british / german flag is standard. You could option the merican flag in the configurator.

All of the plastics are black, but there is some variation based on the materials & lighting.

British company, ergo a British vehicle. German engineering. But built in France, albeit in a former Mercedes factory. QED.

Just got confirmation that all the panels are black - the panic is off.
I'm perfectly happy with the flag combination
Thank you for the quick response especially given the time difference!!
Cheers!

Thank you Adam! Confirmation from sales the panel is black - not so sure the Android phones are that great at capturing true color. The "gray" not so great looking.
When order was placed I did order the US flag - that said I'm perfectly happy with flag combo - makes great sense to me Coullabus stated .
For a moment thought I had a build intended for the Continent across the Pond put on the wrong ship

Sorry, but this thread really doesn’t merit a “need help” title.

Who made you the "Grand Commander" to make that decision? There are rules of conduct and just being civil. You've broken a few.

No wonder you are called grumpy bastard

I ordered the raised air intake to avoid the flags

Is there not one on the left side?

The other side says Ineos

 

[Krabby]

Oh - did not realize that. I thought they all had the UK/GER flag on the left side. One of these days I'll actually get this thing!

I'm into my 2nd week of ownership and absolutely love this thing. I drove it back to back with my lifted 200 series on Sunday. Such a good combo to have. Normally I get in the 200 and remark how good it is compared to whatever else I was driving. Not this time. I was just as happy, if not more to get back into the Grenadier.

I ordered the flags to avoid the RAI.

I added a flag to keep the RAI

I can. understand the British flag, but what does Germany have to do with anything here?

Hi @Jeffrey I feel the same way. That's why I only have the British one.

The IG factory is in France! No French flag on the rig...
