Just ordered #325 for my C230K! Thanks for a great looking badge and thanks for the heads up on terminating production.

I have C230K, Coupe and my metallice badge was stolen. It mounts through 2 holes, however, I see this badge molunts differently. Where can I get this that mounts through 2 holes?

LAST CALL...

I am making the last batch of ten WHITE STAR Flat Badges this weekend. One is already sold. That leaves 9 left to be spoken for, sold in the order payments are received.

I am unable to re-establish communications with the factory overseas that made the WHITE STAR inserts for this product. I fear they may be out of business. Accordingly, I will have no choice but to terminate production after I exhaust the current inventory of parts.

Those who have already inquired should make their decision ASAP, and anyone interested should click on the e-mail address in my signature below and inquire immediately.

Please don't assume that all have been sold so there's no sense in asking. I will post here when I am out of stock. Meantime, I welcome your questions and inquiries.

got mine in the mail today and installed it. i cleaned the area after i removed the oem flat badge, clayed and waxed it. the small area has a few scratches from when the oem flat badge shifted but i'm sure it will buff out. the white star badge installs in 2 seconds n looks much cleaner and won't scratch your hood. didn't bother taking pics car is dirty as hell and its gonna snow/rain tomorrow.

I actually already put mine in a few days ago, but I haven't been able to get my hands on a good camera or wash the car since it has been non-stop raining.

Will edit this post when I take a photo on my camera.




EDIT: I posted a picture of it with the upright star, hahahahahaha. Whoops. It did have my first mod on it though =P

Contact dfwdude directly from the email in his sig, but I think they're all sold out <_<
And not to be a jackass, but I do hope these don't go back into production as the 'exclusivity' part of only having 350 of them ever produced makes it that much more... appealing

For anyone who is interested I have one of the badges I bought but I've decided to go back to my original grille/star. So I'm willing to sell mine same price to whoever is interested, email me at policepunkz@aol.com and I'll be happy to take pics for proof or whatever you need.

Thanks

Is there a discussion thread and/or instructions on removing the stock upright hood ornament?

My flat badge came in the mail today and I can't figure out how to get the old hood ornament off.

Open your Hood
Where the Hood ornament sits there is two metal pieces (underneath).
Twist counter clockwise
It will come off.

Those two metal pieces twist and lock against the hood.
It is sort of like changing a bulb.

Exclamation NEW Mercedes-Benz White Star Flat Hood Badge for C-Class W203!

I have resumed production of WHITE STAR Flat Badges. In addition, to address numerous requests, I have also designed a second badge,
an AMG Flat Badge.



Both flat badges are handmade from a genuine Mercedes upright hood ornament, part 210 880 01 86, using the original mount of the OEM part. So, they will fit all cars using this part: C-Class Sedans (only) 1995-present (W202, W203, W204 Sport or Luxury); E-Class 1995-present (W210, W211, W212); S-Class 1995-present (W220, W221), and CLK 1998-2002 (W208). These badges will NOT fit cars not designed to use the Original upright hood ornament, such as the W204 C63 AMG or the W203 Coupe.

Of course, the new AMG Flat Badge appropriately fits ALL AMG variants of cars above. The AMG badge offers enough contrast that it can also be used on cars with the tri-star badge on the grille, thus avoiding the “double badge” duplicate star issue on the newest car models.

The following picture (to right) shows the mount and lock of these badges, used without alteration from the original upright star. This ensures that your replacement flat badge will lock in the hood, just like your upright star. (Not like other flat badges that use funky screw posts with washers and wing nuts that take time to adjust.) It takes just seconds to remove your original upright ornament and replace it with either the WHITE STAR Flat Badge or the AMG Flat Badge. Switch back and forth between your original ornament and flat badge anytime the whim strikes you.



Each badge is autographed and serial numbered. Serial numbers are assigned in the order payment is received.

There currently are 365 serial-numbered WHITE STAR Flat Badges in circulation. The new AMG Flat Badge will start a new sequence of serial numbers, beginning at 003.

Your badge is delivered in 2-3 business days, via USPS Priority Mail, anywhere in the US. Int'l delivery available on request.

As always, I do not talk about pricing at MBWorld. This is to avoid confusion on the forums where I can be more specific off line. If you are interested, simply click on my e-mail address below my signature, and send me an e-mail. I will respond promptly, as always.

Weather warmed up enough to take a couple pictures of the new AMG Flat Badge. First two pics are of my W203, followed by a picture on a W211 E63 AMG.





Here are a few pictures from the archives of the WHITE STAR Flat Badge on various cars.
