No website to my knowledge. Do a search here (try AMG + hood + badge) and you'll find at least three different styles. Two showing the tree/camshaft scene in multi-colored or black/silver and the other with AMG lettering on a black background.

Best bets:

www.ebay.com
www.ebay.de

plus, there may be a member or two here selling various styles and sizes.

Good luck

There are a variety of sizes and styles available, the standard Mercedes Flat Badge or a variety of AMG, Brabus, Carlsson logo badges. Many come in a 48MM size which will overlap the recess where the tri-star hood ornament base fits. There are badges out there that fit into the recess but are harder to find (I'm not sure what the diameter on those need to be). The standard badges are readily available at formymercedes.com and many other sellers. The AMG badges can be found on e-bay however you need to be comfortable with the selller. A couple of styles are attached. The good thing is they take longer to get out of the box than they do to install it's really easy.

I was trying to find a cool flat emblem a while ago but couldn't find a design that would look good for my white car. I didn't love the tree/camshaft bc to me it didn't look sporty/clean enough. The closest thing that I liked was the silver ///AMG on black. But it would look too contrast on my hood. I wish there was the reverse version of that, silver back ground with black ///AMG lettering. Maybe someone with a good access could design and actually manufacture them for us to buy.
I ended up using the oem MB flat emblem.

AMG Hood Badge

This is the badge you're looking for. It's made of heavy, chrome-plated brass with the color AMG/Affalterbach logo. It will fit the recessed hole when your MB star is removed. 5 minute installation via a threaded post - all hardware is included. It has never been sold on eBay and only via word-of-mouth. The cost is $149 payable via PayPal, which includes USPS Priority mail. I've attached a picture.

Looks worth it to me - it definitely looks to be of higher quality than the ones I've seen on eBay, and I'm **** enough to want something that fits perfectly.

I hope this will be available after few months, as I will sort out the CLK grill replacement first. Guess it will fit C55 ? And, just would like to know some background information about the grahics on this badge?
Tks

This will definitely fit the recessed hole in a C class grill (C32 or C55.) The logo is a replica of the original AMG logo found on AMG cars in the 70's and 80's. The logo can now be found in monochrome on top of the superchargers of the new kompressor engines.

How about this one? Also: "made of heavy, chrome-plated brass with the color AMG/Affalterbach logo. It will fit the recessed hole when your MB star is removed. 5 minute installation via a threaded post - all hardware is included. It has never been sold on eBay" and what's more, it comes in a kickass plastic case (hee, hee, sorry 4-AMGs )....can't wait to put it on my white car.... I'm not a seller, I just got one...

Cool, I'm not the only one- does it fit nicely on to the hood recess? Never seen it posted here. Anyways, I got this here in Hong Kong..probably a lot cheaper than what u guys pay. Not sure if they ship tho but I can hook anyone up if they really want to pay for the additional shipping.

It fits perfectly (diameter-wise). No "flat" hood emblem that I've seen is exactly flush with the hood and neither is this one. It sits up just a tiny bit, perhaps between 2mm and 3mm.

I've had this emblem on my W208 CLK for almost a year and it still looks great. Also, my buddy with a C32 has one. Fits perfect.

Please PM me with any info regarding pricing, etc.

Yeah, I kinda liked that one too, but ppl would be flaming me more for being a poser....... Anyways, I like the classic/classy design of the affalterbach logo but like you didn't think the colored parts would look good and it just happens to be in line with the ride's theme....please, please don't flame me . I once saw in a Japanese magazine a reverse color of mine....IMO nicer.

Anyway, the smaller shops here don't really send overseas and they definitely don't speak much English so giving you an address in HK won't help but I'm happy to hook up (with no additional margin) and I really don't want to appear to be butting in on 4 AMG's deals.......just sharing another option here.
