Question Did the Euro GT3RS have a Decal front hood badge?

Does anyone know anything about the Euro 996 GT3RS having a decal front hood crest? In this Top Gear video Jeremy Clarkson points out that it has a "sticker" for a crest:

However I called Sunset Porsche to try and find out the part number, and they said their computer only shows the standard crest. Anyone know anything about this?

It is a sticker, but if you need a new one, I'm told they are a nightmare to get hold of.

True its a sticker instead of a metal badge. Personally I'd love a metal badge - but it probably would fk up the carbon lid. Thats life.

It has no impact on performance. For sure.

Except around Oulton Park on the RS day 15/3/2008. (UK) ( there willl be a number of (non valid) only "GT3" runners on this day - some of them with "mines quicker " Manthey impossibly expensive modifications) but its an RS day and the RS drivers will dominate.

Doesnt matter how many tuition laps you do with FIA GT3 drivers, sooner or later you have to go out on your own.

No chips - just banter.
