badges on ebay a ripoff!
for those who have done frequent searches for "w203" stuff on ebay and may have seen Lorinser/Brabus/AMG/Carlsson hood/trunk/side/rear badges from a canadian seller...for "buy it now" for US$100+ each are really getting ripped off... it really doesn't cost that much, it fits ALL models fronts sides and rear and they cost don't cost much at all... they're like US$55 each per badge net... I know the companies that outsources them for these german companies....rear/side badges included.
This is not a commercial post... just a price warning

This is not a commercial post... just a reminder that most items are produced in the third world and by the time it reaches a first world country the markup is enormous....
Mr. Moderator... do you want a free badge..
(hehehehe)

Hmm...well I'm not a poser, but I am disappointed that Carlsson didn't bother to include a badge when I bought my susp. Maybe Tire Rack "removed" it from the box before they shipped it, but I still want the badge.

I have the Brabus flat hood emblem because I hate the pedestrian gunsite. I have the B emblem on the hood because my star keeps getting pulled off...same goes to the C200 and kompressor badges so I removed them totally.
I have side badges sitting in my drawer at home which I'm not going to put on...kinda overkill...anyways I think it'll look better on my Toyota corolla
like tberry said... no stickers on MB's please
