Kompressor Badge front wing?

I'm sure I've seen a coupe around with the Kompressor badge on the front wing, just before the door, like how it is on the SLK?
Was wondering, the kompressor badge is rougly 10" long, wonder if it would fit on that part of the coupe without looking sh*te?
Anyone here done it? Can you show me pics?

Thinkin' of doin it, would look dope since the rest of my car is debadged.

you de-badged your car and now you want to add a badge that never existed there except for the various AMG cars.


Explain the logic?

I like symetry in cars, the original badges on the rear arent symetrical, I didn't like the look. So I asked them to remove the badges when I ordered it.
Now, Having Kompressor wrote on the wing, on both sides, would be symetrical, and also look good, I like the look of the AMG models with "V8 Kompressor" on the wing, it looks good, and afterall, if i think it looks good and I feel comfortable driving it the way it looks, then why shouldn't I mod it the way I want?

kthxbye.

white and whiter
just get the "V6 kompressor" badge and leave off the V6 if you want to put the badge there. The letter from the V6 kompressor badge is smaller.

I don't see anything wrong with putting the kompressor badge on both sides of the car to keep it symetrical. Like Frank said, get the C32 side badges and just don't use the v6.
