Didn't have the ***** stick it outside since I'm not a sticker guy, but found a spot for it under the hood opposite the emissions sticker!

I guess they give you an emblem to mount on the grill but not sure if i'll do that, would hate to have it stolen so i'll see what it looks like and how its mounted.

I cant remember if this is my highest mileage vehicle, I had a few Grand Cherokees that were up there in mileage.

Bought this W204 4-1/2yrs ago for $7K and spent maybe $1k on repairs/maintenance so far not including new tires. One of the biggest savings was updating the struts, shocks and springs with used for less than $400. That and doing all the work myself. Plus buying wearable items like brake pads and rotors from FCP Euro will pay off when I do have to replace them again. If the car does break down it wont be from lack of proper maintenance.

I guess in that case is put it on the grille and then take a picture and then take it off and just keep it in the house.

I finally received the award in the mail. It was shipped from a place called Bennett Graphics in GA. Came in a fairly big box.

Does appear to have a solid way to mount it with threaded rod and nuts with rubber washers, not sure it will fit anywhere on the grill though.

Congrats. We just keep ours in the boxes. The Toyota guys just grin until you get the next one! I’ve seen E Class Benzes at car shows with 4 of these on the grill.

I've read the highest mileage Mercedes is a 1971 owned by a Greek cab driver with over 2.4 million miles. Says he went thru 2 or 3 engines. Gives me hope mine will last a few more years with proper maintenance. I have to say I am amazed at how well the car runs and drives. I have put in a good amount of time and effort to keep it running so well.
