Ok, I was joking. It's not like my 230 is going to kick any i/h/e-modded Civic Si, either.

I debadged the "KOMPRESSOR" on the right of my car - I thought that was just silly. I also debadged the rear, but thought the rear looked so empty without something that I added the C230 back. I should have swapped the 3 and 2, though, just for fun.

You should be able to find the letter cheaper than the dealer

'13 C250 coupe & Porsche 911
I just got back from a business trip to Germany & Austria. LOTS of the M-B's there are badgeless, and they look good because of it. There were a few newer W203 sedans with badges, but these were typically C200 CDI.

After seeing all of the CDI cars, and the very nice small 4 cyl turbos (not kompressors) in the A & B class, I continue to be pissed off at the foolishly limited choices we get in the US.
