Where can i buy the hood badge locally?

Any Local MB Dealer parts counter. It's called a Coupe flat hood badge, part #A 6388170116 ($10 or so), and the sedan adapter kit ($15 or so) sorry I don't have that part number.

I called the dealership and they said that while they do carry the coupe flat badge, they've never heard of the sedan adapter. Anyone have the part #?

Here's another thread showing a diagram of the adapter pieces. You could print and take this to the dealer to show them.diagram thread

I took this diagram to the dealer and he told me the SLK is only held via the badge and 2 plastic holders. They told me there was no adapter....... wtf? We look at CLK, SLK, and C coupe diagrams and they said they didnt show the part. Is it an aftermarket part that maybe the dealers out in CALI due to demand?

Sorta related, is there such a thing as a "Black" flat hood badge???? Every one I've seen has blue around the outside and I thought it would look really good in black on a silver, grey or white car.

That mount is the aftermarket part, but the badge is OEM (at least, the one sold by formymercedes.com). I hope that makes sense.

Well, at least formymercedes is available to you and it's good quality.
