Angry Someone STOLE my buddies AMG Trunk Badge!!!!!! HELP

Someone swiped his AMG trunk badge, he comes over my house when he needs the computer or needs info on things. Where can he buy 1 from? Also, can someone please help him out - he needs the exact measurement of what the AMG badge is. I see many on ebay but are they cheap, and crappy? Thanks for anyone who can help.



Luckily, they didn't rip any paint off etc, it looks like it just was debadged.

He should be able to buy one from the dealer. It might actually be cheaper than getting it off ebay when you take shipping into account.

Measurements? All the real AMG badges are the same size

Its a good thing there wasn't any damage but I wonder how can someone take off the badge without a heat source to soften the adhesive? Unless your friend did a sh*tty job putting the first one on himself, I can't imagine a factory installed badge just coming off for anyone that wants to take it.

Here in NY, just about every MB has an AMG badge The lettering on some of the fake ones are too thin or the spacing is off.

That sucks! I can't believe people are stealing badges.

The badges can be taken off pretty easy with a fishing line. When I debadged mine, thats what I used.

white and whiter
If you buy it from the dealership it is between $50-75. I remember they are the same price as the V6 kompressor badge which is $50. Some dealer will over charge you.

Just to make you feel better. My friend got his AC Schnitzer 3-piece trunk spoiler stolen right off his M3 and screwed up the paint on the trunk. This is non-BS. It happened near the movie threater around our school campus.

Here is one from the dealer.

I will see if I can find any cheaper.

If you have the MBCA discount, you would get 10% off.

You might wanna try some wholesale parts department at dealerships. Caliber Motors in Anaheim Hills has a wholesale parts department that sell them for a reasonable price.
