hahaha good one.

i also agree with the above comments, do it only if it makes you feel that it makes the car look better, don't do it just because it's a c300

 

I almost settled for the C 350, but I like a manual transmission. Even my girlfriend made fun of me for almost buying an automatic. Early in the year I came close to purchasing a 335i coupe, eventhough I am not crazy about the styling. When I saw the new C, it was like I got slugged in the gut.

I didn't really think of the C 300 as being the cheap Benz. For me, it is the only one that comes with a manual transmission.

 

Although I will say that I assume a debadged C is a 300. Not that it should matter all that much.

 

That is funny maybe an old Mercedes C Class. I guess I do not see the point with taken the model off. However, it's your car do what ever you want with your car. However, I tend to laugh when I see a debadged car.

 

as long as you don't do this when you remove them, I am all for it.

 

You don't have badge delete as an option in the US? The cars you most often see debadged in Europe are Mercedes and BMW's, for some reason most other makes come with badges and people don't remove them.

 

Why do you remove it ? I did ordering mine I told my selller ; Could you please remove rear things ! I thought it is cool after that face my car people 9/10 said why did you remove that ? it is so space rear side ! than I replaced again (costs 100 USD)

 

 

i took the badges off my black C350 today and it looks cleaner to me.

had the dealership do it and it took less then 2 minutes.

they had some tool and popped them off easy. no marks, no goo.

in germany many cars come with no badges and for me i like to think about how the car was originally thought of on the drawing board.

 

This thread is starting to get annoying...the snob comments are rediculous. Most Mercedes sold in Europe have no badges, I'm surprised that more people don't want the "authentic" Euro look like they do with many other areas of the car.

 

So did you remove the badgets

 

This thread is unreal. Who cares? It's your car. Do what you want.

I debadged my 05 c230, and I'll be debadging my 08 c300.

Looks cleaner.

 

I'm getting a C300 Sport, and I'm removing all my emblems.

I'm removing all of them though, including the 3-point star in the center of the trunk. I'm also currently looking for a grill that does not have the star in the center. I'm gonna try to remove all traces of the M-B marque on the car, save for the wheels (AMG 18") and the steering wheel. Lastly, I'm searching for a suitable manufacturer that will make custom emblems for me to replace the flat hood emblem and the trunk 3-point star.

The end product, I hope, will be confusing ("What car is that?") to all except those who know.

The point is, it's your car, you paid (are paying) for it. Who cares? Do what you like, as long as you enjoy it.

 

You can buy the Luxury conversion kit with the plain grill and put that on the car. No star

 

don't let the insecurity of others get to you, debadging makes the car look cleaner and streamlined. +1, its your car, do what you want.

 

if you lived in the northeast, it would be the other way around. (almost all c300 sold here are 4matic) and imagine if it was during the winter.

 

I live in RI. I bought a sport instead. I wanted a manual, and I won't be driving it in the snow.

Actually, I debadged my jeep grand cherokee limited too.
Just looks better.

 

actually, just had a thought, would you debadge your c63 AMG or SL55??

 

Very true. Up here, the C300 4Matic owner can feel his superiority for 1/2 a second as he flys by the C350 stuck in snow on the side of the road lol.

 

He** No...

 

Good thing I don't live in the Northeast then....

 

To me, debadging the amg is even better. Or an M, or an SPG, or a Hammer, or whatever tuner for whatever car. First, it has the same clean look but usually better since tuned cars usually have better lines. Cecond, it lures suckers into a fight. Third, and to me best, it shows you're really a person of class and taste that would try to hide his prosperity. I dunno, but I was reared to believe conspicuous consumption was a bad thing and that people who flaunted wealth were usually the nouveau riche while those who were genuinely wealthy had more class, taste or finesse than to flaunt it.

then again, maybe I'm wrong.

 

wow thats extreme! Post up some pictures, I want to see what it'll look like.

 

You can't be serious. While I don't think your post even deserves a response, perhaps some cold weather climate owners bought the C300 b/c of 4Matic. Second, your C350 is ALSO a C Class...and by your estimation, barely a Mercedes. Have fun being you...must be hard.
