Hood ornament question

I'm going to replace my hood ornament on my '05 C240K sedan with a flat badge. I'm going to try to sell my original hood ornament. Does anyone know what all models/years it will fit?

thanks
Jim

Should fit all 2001+ w203 models because I don't think there were any changes to the hood (with exception to the C55)

GOD search this forum and you'll find the answer! Better yet, you could have bought a CHEAP car that doesn't have one. I'm installing one on my mazda because I miss my benz designed hood!

LOL !
yeah, you and 500 other people who have replaced original hood ornaments on this forum !

better off selling it to a punk kid who was going to tear one off somebody else's hood. Save them the trouble. Highest bid on one of these should top out at about $0.79

Looks like avg. price for a an MB hood ornament is about $20 on eBay.
So, no one knows this one willl fit other MB's besides 01+ W203's?

Oh really, genius? I searched "hood ornament sell", "hood ornament value" and "hood ornament price" and found NOTHING regarding what I might expect to get for selling mine. Can you do better?

Most people would find the coupe's sport grille + a stand-up hood ornament gaudy, but considering your car's color, it would probably fit right in
Send $500 to my Paypal account and the hood ornament is yours

We geniuses have so much on our large brains, the occasional typo is bound to pop up here and there :v

I'd like my fellow genius, rockintunes23, to show me the result of his search for the question of the value of the hood ornament
