I have searched the forum till my fingers bled. I still cannot find the info I need. I want to replace my upright star on my hood. I am trying to find out if there is an OEM dealer flat badge that fits the C class recessed hood divot. SLK? CLK? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

There should be plenty W204 flat hood emblems on eBay. I got mine on there and it was OEM. They're plastic but they hold up very well. Mine looks brand new still to this day.

You mean something like this?

Like that, but I want a dealer item, not an e-bay one. I am going to the dealer today to pick up my extra key I just ordered for $250.
I was hoping to get an OEM one while there.

Get the w204 one. It snaps in place and it looks great too.

Don't get those cheap *** knock off ones that don't even cover the circle crease. Sorry for anyone who has it but I hate those small ones (that's what she said).

Thanks Karo. That looks like it will do nicely.
I really like the other guys custom white stars but I can't seem to pull the trigger on it. I think I will be just as happy with the OEM.

Or maybe this...

You can find them on eBay in the OEM wrapping direct from Germany..

Might as well get it from the dealer since you're going there, though.

Karo likes the small ones

You should be able to get an OEM M-B (star) badge at the dealer.

Karo just can't catch a break these days. His reputation follows him no matter where he goes!

AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH!

So I ordered a W204 flat badge at the dealer today. While I was there there was an older, maybe 1980 SL in really nice shape being worked on under the hood. While I was waiting at the counter I noticed a commotion & some yelling going on in the shop. I look around and see flames shooting out of the engine compartment of the SL! The guy working on it was just standing there with a glazed look in his eyes yelling while another guy ran over with a fire extinguisher spraying it on the fire and engine. Meanwhile as a cloud of smoke & white dust are flying around the guy just standing there goes "oh, I should shut it off". Ya think! The thing was sucking in the fire extinguisher dust as it was running. I can only assume the owner was not there as nobody came out all pissed off. Glad it wasn't my car. The MB dealer in my city just sucks *****. Many in my area go to an indie that specializes in European autos, problem is he charges as much as the dealer because he can.
That was my excitement for the day.

dude thats f***king crazy! do you know what was wrong with it?

Star Rider

I didn't ask... they were a little preoccupied. LOL! It looked like maybe it had backfired through the carb or there was some flammable liquid (fuel?) that was ignited by a bad wire? Either way it was burning for quite a few seconds, it was more than just a flare-up thats for sure. There had to be melted stuff in there for sure. I bet that mechanic is gonna be paying for some of that job.

C230 Mulac

lol i'd love to hear how they're going to explain that to the owner, i bet his face will look like

as for that mechanic, i bet he's lucky if he still has a job!

and i was pissed when my dealer left my trip around the shifter loose and backed it into something putting a chip in the bumper. I was asked to never come back to the dealer my next issue they picked up my car with a rollback lol


I would go away for life if they burned my car and then let fire extinguishing **** get into the engine. I would at least set the building on fire lol

Star Rider

I gotta hear the story related to you being banned from the dealership.

The car on fire looked like this, but blue, and just as nice. I feel sorry for the owner.

anyone know what flat badge to get for my c55 that wouldn't have spaces on the sides? our hoods are different so it's a tad different fitment.

that's a nice looking car, i kinda wish i had a convertible one just for some sunday cruises on a nice day. they're classic
