Hey guys I removed the C230 and Kompressor badge on the back of my coupe, but I could not get the mercedes badge off. I disassembled the rear hatch to try and see if there was a bolt back there but diddent see anything. Normally you just heat the badge and peel with a credit card. Anyone debadged a coupe that could shed some light.

leave the benz symbol. it has 2 pins, so if you remove it, theres two holes in your trunk

Hmm kinda like with the front.

Thanks.

I have the brabus replacement for the rear. Im going to keep trying to get that benz badge off.

Just work your way around the edge towards the center but try not to break the ring.

I got 3 holes. You can carefully pry it off with a flathead but be careful of scratching the paint.

tommy

Yes, but what about the badge?

I agree with that - there are three holes, in a Y pattern, if memory serves.

Be gentle with the removal. You could do some expensive damage pretty easily.

Thanks guys, Ill get on it tonight. Since I saw the kineda coupe I always wanted to debadge mine. Goof off works great btw.

ayOOOO!

Perhaps a flat head with a rubber tip would do better. Then 3m tape the new brabus badge on the rear.

Brabus logos everywhere FTW!!! lol

kompressorc230

Yeah thats what i have. I was too lazy to go inside and screw in the round metal surface to put the badge on.

***3 holes! Ok funny people calm down. You know what i meant. Lol

floss is the best badge remover...

advans

kineda removed his rear star?

Konka

i see people with the ring removed. do they just buy a different badge or are the two pieces separate? they look like one piece.

me and mugen just took off my rear mercedes emblem today. painted it black and glossed it up! there were 3 pins with 3 holes. its one whole piece. you have to be careful not to snap the star from the circle part so starting wiggling it out from the CENTER not the outside!!!

kompressorc230

Hey lance where are you located? By riverside? Just wondering.

Konka

So, if its one piece where do people get the ringless star? I cant find it anywhere.

lancemb

i go to ucr and moved out to riverside but im originally from rowland heights. i roll down to k-town sometimes cuz my cousins are there. speakin of which im probably going to go soon. i noticed u were in the LA area?

i dont think you can buy it like that. i think you are going to have to customize it by yourself! good luck!

kompressorc230

K-Town! . Yeah i live exactly where you said. Tommy came down here like last week and we worked on my car also. Oh thats how you know him. What do you guys do down here?

advans

not bad!

I can probably get this done, vinyl-ed w/o removing the star, and w/o painting it!

but I think it'd look weird on a all black car. since my C320 badges are painted!

deuce zer0

this sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Mu9enx

yup UCR affiliated!

Mu9enx

vinyl would be tough though right? i was thinking about doing the same for my car, but it would be hard to see like you said. on lance's car, that isht is HOT!

those pics don't do it justice.. i wish my camera didn't break

I don't know if putting a Brabus badge on is a good idea. It seems weird considering the fact that the only thing you have that's Brabus except the replica lip, I'm not a fan of that. It's like me putting an AMG badge on my car since I have AMG replicas.

Just my .02 cents.

I think its time for a socal meet, guys
