DtS is right
The country oval stickers went the way of the Dodo since the Europeans started using the Euro-plates with blue bands on the left side in the early 1990s.
And the oval stickers always were ugly. If you're not German, or not at least able to converse in German, take it off. It looks like hell on that nice car.
About debadging, I can't believe that you took the other stuff off and left that white monstrosity on! Debadge if you must, but now Europeans will think you're only driving a C 180. Heh heh

You're asking if the car would look cleaner if you took off the small badge, however you have that mammoth D sticker.
Get rid of the sticker, it uglifies the car!

Hmmmmm, I like the more symetrical, balanced look of the original badges.

Hi there,
definately looks better debadged. here's an idea for the Germany sticker... Get yourself an EU plate if you can with the D already printed on, it will look a lot smarter.

I see two dozen (NH) oval stickers every day on the highway. Like I couldn't tell from the license plate where the car was from??
Or is it just a NH thing?BTW: I de-badged my car. Love it.
