Can you elaborate a bit on this emblem fitting issue.
( I thought I was going to get a CLK emblem that will fit right?)
Cheers

Nope. CLK emblem will not fit!! Too big,.
You need a conversion like the one from Schatz at around $30 from Autowerks.com or the really nice one from 4-AMGs on this forum(more money but I think the better quality is the way to go)

Wonder if 4-AMGs can design a high quality one for Brilliant Silver. I like his badge and it seems look nicer on a black car...anyway , likely I will get it after I sort our the CLK grill

The C55 and the C230SS are both w203 body styles. Won't this same conversion work on the C230 Sport Sedan as well?

NO..

the front end on the C55 is taken from the CLK so the orientation is different.
