I4 Kompressor
Hmm, i had this though the other day, and thought i would ask for suggestions from the more reputable members of this board.
What do you guys think of putting I4 Kompressor on the front fenders of the car, like the V8 Kompressor's or V6 Kompressors?
It is afterall true, so it wont be misleading everyone.
I'm not sure yet if this would look good or not, but what do you think?
Vote, as well as give me your 2 cents.

I agree.
One caveat though, is that if I were to do this, I'd probably debadge the rear b/c kompressor on the sides and the rear would probably be too much...

2002 C230 coupe , NOt THE AVATAR!!
lol one day i was in a shopping mall driving around and found out a W203 saying is C55, so it really made me stop and look, when i look, i found only one mufflers (4 for real C55), it got 05 C230K wheel and brake, and when i look at his other side, it got AMG tag there too, the most stupid things is he got a word Kompressor right under AMG tag, i was like WTF??

BTW the old slk used to have kompressor on the fenders as well which is where I got the idea from. Looks great and most people think it's an amg because the don't know any better or they think the car came with that badging.

I don't really like the thought of putting I4 Kompressor on the fenders, but Kompressor on the fenders would probably be alright.
In fact, I thought of doing that before, but decided against it because I really don't want anyone thinking I'm running a debadged C32. Don't need M3's, S4's and the like reving on me, trying to bate me to race.
I definitely don't think I4 Kompressor would look right. Just doesn't sound very intimidating at all or visually appealing as "V6 or V8 Kompressor". Just my $.02

that's exactly what I was thinking with the SLK. I believe that it only said SLK230 in the rear as well and then just had kompressor at the fenders. The SLK230 Sport didn't have kompressor at the fenders but the sport badges and kompressor at the rear.

I4 kompressor makes sense, but where are you going to get the I and the 4? I don't think MB has ever made the right size badge with the I and 4 you're looking for.
I bought a couple of V6 kompressor badges, took off the V6, and just mounted the kompressor on both fenders. I also debadged the rear completely (both the C230 and the kompressor).
It looks hot (IIDSSM). Recommended.
