Actually, I think they badge them as C23K. But their boost kit is called a K23 kit, or something like that.

How about this:

Find a car that uses similar badging, take the "V6" from that one, and put it on UNDER the C230 badge. It seems that you want everyone to know you have the larger engine, so let them know in a way that everyone (MB owner or not) will know.

As for me, stock badging is fine. Where I live, there aren't enough MB owners to know the diff!

That is correct.

Ah- what's more important is the comments I get about how "perfectly flat" my car is in the corners at the autocrosses... I am done with the badge thought...

Noticed today that I wished I could set my rear sway to softer... might be time for a change...

Sorry about the incorrect kleemann designation...
