If you have a free minute, could you put a ruler to your fender and tell me how tall and wide the kompressor part of the badge is in centimeters? Just kompressor, not the V6 part. I want to know if the kompressor lettering is the same size as the SLK230's lettering. If they're the same I'll just get SLK230 badges instead.
Thanks!

probably later tonightRedSLKChic has offered to measure the badge on her SLK230 too. So if your "kompressor" is the same size as hers, maybe I will just ask for the SLK230 badge instead of the C32 badge and not waste the V6.
I called a dealer and he had one V6kompressor badge in stock, and said it was ~$50. Is that about right? Seems a lot for a little plastic and some adhesive...

#1. To really complete the look you need black 19" wheels.
#2. You need darker tint to pull off the stealth look.

He said that a speeding driver caused an accident and as a result he has some brain damage.....

DiamondNoir2K5, I got your badge measurement. Just the "kompressor" part from the v6 kompressor badge it's about 7 inch.

don't think i'll do darker tint. don't want to get pulled over for it. btw, i just got my first scratch on the driverside window from the seal...
I'm thinking about cutting the seal short so it won't touch the window. Not to keen on spending another $100 just for the mole-skin.

05 blinker installed...
saw the usps guy pulled up on the driveway from my window and thought it was just regular mail cuz no bell ring what so ever. 10 mins later decide to go out and saw a box that says MBenzNL on it in front of the door, opened it up and there they are.
spent about 20-30min searching and reading for how to remove mirror blinker and saw preyx's thread. another 20 mins later I got the new blinkers on the car. now all i need is the bixenon...can't wait for the end of the year.
