Orginal Star

I was going through some old e-mails from the guy I bought the C32 from. He said the car comes with the original star. Does anyone know what that means? I forgot to ask about that when I took the car.

From what I could see the C32 came stock with a blank grill and the MB star (One that sticks up) on the hood of the car. Looks like you can remove the star on the hood and replace it with a flat emblem and put in a front grill that has the MB symbol in it?

This was his e-mail I was refering to:

No modifications other than the AMG hood badge (the original star will also come with it) and the Autobahnd clear bra.

If the car came stock with a blank front grill and the MB star that sticks up already on the car what is the AMG hood badge ?

Ya when I saw that I was like what is an AMG Star and it comes with orginal star. Only thing I can think off is the star I have on mine is different than the one that comes stock. I will have to take a pic and see.

He meant he had put an AMG flat hood emblem, but will send the original star to you as well.

That is correct. Some people remove the star on the hood and install the AMG flat hood emblem. There are a couple of designs out there to chose from..... some look good and some are crappy.
