NEW Mercedes-Benz White Star Flat Hood Badge for C-Class W203!
Hey, all. I was at an event in Dallas today and I saw this E-Class. It has a flat hood badge. But it isn't that cheap, plastic one like on the coupes. This badge sits in the recess in the hood, just like the upright star!
It also has a 3-dimensional look to it. Looks pretty cool to me!
Has anyone seen this flat badge? If so, does anyone know where to get it?

Oh, my. That looks VERY NICE.
I had the large flat badge that covered the recess. But with weekly car washings, the clear coat wore off and the blue faded within two years. It looks horrible now, so I removed it and reinstalled the upright star.
Haven't seen this one before, so we'll have to be on the lookout.
Anybody else seen this badge?
Hey Slim, where in Dallas did you see this?

How do you guys think it would look if someone just made a badge with just carbon fiber and it just covered most of the hole. So it would just look like a big flat hood. I've always thought that would look cool, but I've never seen anything like it.

That’s the plastic one that everyone has, he is talking about a different one. I personally like it better because then no one can come and rip it off your car like they can the star.

never seen that one in person. Most likely it's from eBay.
I had the plastic one that everyone has which peeled and faded like Bob said as well. Replaced that with the Carlsson emblem.

This is NOT the badge you can buy at the dealer. My camera doesn't do it justice. It's much prettier. I like the White star with the blue wreath. Looks classy.

Any chance one of the moderators can make this a sticky thread for a while? If we can just find the dude that makes this ornament, I bet a bunch of members will want one. The plastic coupe badge on my ride is looking really ratty.

I noticed a similar badge on the CLS-class yesterday at my dealership while I was getting some service. It is just a guess, but maybe the CLS badge is smaller than the other flat badges and thereby creates the look referenced?!?

Next time I see him I will ask where he got his flat badge from, and will let you know.

I have confirmed it! That is indeed his car, and his badge! I took a closer look this morning. It looks really nice! I spoke to him briefly this morning and he told me that it is "homemade" (although he didn't clarify if that meant he made it or someone else). He said it uses the same locking mechanism as the original upright star (?- This seemed to be an important aspect to him). He told me if I wanted, he could get me one. I told him that I may know some other people who are interested as well. He just said to let him know.
I only spoke to him for about 30 seconds (sorry, I was running late for a meeting). I wish I could have gotten more details. I don't think I will see him again today, but I probably will in the next few days.

If anyone is interested, go ahead and post in this thread. I will try and get more info about cost etc. and some more details about it (maybe I can get him to take it off and get some more detailed pics). If there is a demand for this, I'll get him (or whoever is making them) set up as a sponsor or something.
