Hi Alex, most certainly a strange one and as you say now that you know about it it can be seen on a variety of vehicles. Style and location vary but always on the same rear corner! Inspection mark? maybe, but why 'K' and what does it mean?

Re my Ford, certainly appreciate some pictures when you sort them out. I have just repainted part of the front wing and trunk lid

ready for the change of vehicle marking,s now that I know its true original ones.
