C230 Coupe
Kompressor Badge

Does anyone know where to purchase a side Kompressor badge like the other Mercedes have, like the SLK's. Has anyone does this, I though it would look stylish like the SLK's, I dont want it to be too "Ricey". What do you guys think?

It wouldn't be ricey, but it sure would be tacky.

i am not to sure how it would look but u can get them from the MB parts dept. maybe get the C32 kompressor side badge and take off the V6 so the kompressor badge will be alot smaller than the other on the c coupe and the one on the slk.

The correct answer is your MB parts department.

I might be wrong on this. But I heard the older SLKs have the Kompressor badge on the side while the 2002 SLKs have them in the back where the C230K has it. I think putting the Kompressor sign on the back and side is kindda over done. After all, this model only has Kompressor in the US. I have seen in Asia where the C coupe without the Kompressor in C230 and C200.

I dislike the Kompressor badges, which is why I will be replacing the V6 Kompressor badges on my C32 with AMG badges.

I dont really mind the V6 Kompressor badge that much.

But i saw in your other thread the pics of it with the AMG badge and it looked great. Now i like that better than the Kompressor badge to. I think if i would ever get a C32 i would consider doing the same thing. Im my opinion Its better to show off ///Amg than Kompressor since most people without MB's dont even know what kompressor means. I guess if they really dont know much about MB's they wont even know what ///AMG stands for eaither but it looks nicer.
