Ha. But don't know if a lobotomy was enough with some items. Never seen a Peugeot/Renault box but have seen pic-tickets or the part itself stamped with vehicle brands on AS parts. The factory nose external load mirrors were everyday truck mirrors and the Lama ones I saw had Renault stamped on the back of the mirror. But no different than the Castrol oil used for EC135 transmission, same stuff for a Mercedes except for that LBA sticker on the back and an increase in price. Not a bad thing really as they've used vehicle parts rebranded as aircraft parts in aviation for eons.
