REMOVABLE SPORT SIGN?

Hi,

I was wondering what the side markers of the car are called, The ones that are on the side fenders by the door that say "Sport" on them because i was considering of replacing them with the stock ones that do not say sport.

Hope the explanation helped in determining the name.

Thanks!

that's just a badge, which is just a piece of plastic with some double sided tape. you can remove it by heating the area up with a hair dryer for 30 seconds then take a credit card or dental floss to get behind it and remove the adhesive. after use goo off or something equivalent to remove the rest of the residue.

ps. side markers are the lights on the side of the car, just fyi

The OP doesn't own his W203 anymore.

I like them, personally.

I've been trying to find this special edition one. So far I've only found sites in Europe that have it.

It's a clean look rather than the black piece.
