I agree Trebor has some power fold gears being made it required a high minimum order and tooling costs. You would have the same problem and with fewer customers I would have thought it would make the final item expensive. However it might be worth dropping him a PM as he has also has Mg/Rover Gill badges made and may have a contact.

The badge manufacturers wont be able to do this, and as said above the tooling costs and minimum order will be the stumbling block i guess
