So, I decided to give my car a little originality by changing the C 32 emblem in the back.

I decided to badge the car in honor of the engine in our 1st gen AMGs, so now it reads M112K.

Stupid? Maybe...but it does give my car a little individuality from the rest.

Some guy that works at my local dealership has W.202.XX (some number I forget) on his older C. It's cool, only enthusiasts would get it.

I'm a little leery about sending pics because it wasn't as easy as I hoped. I'm still a little skeptical on how it looks. I guess I can take a couple tomorrow.

Koru_Kinshi

There's one picture...does it look staight???

ScottW911

At first glance, I thought not.

Then I read your question and went back to look closer. I don't know if it is just the distortion of the photo or not. I can't decide if it is straight or not.

saer1one

looks pretty straight to me..

moosejaw

that will impress the ladies!

TemjinX2

well its a good way of keeping your car unique looking in a sea of c-classes.

I've tempted to put C180 on mine.

rockjock

Props on the idea-but I think its just a touch off-but still looks keen!

I don't know how else to say this, but it doesn't look like it "belongs"......and I don't think all the letters are "straight".

Most people will have no clue about what M112K means, even among exisiting benz owners.

SickSpeedMonte

lol, that would catch a few by surprise.
I had thought about how cool it would be to take a C32 and make it look like a C230 sport. Stock funnel rims, C230 grill and upright star. Probably de-badge it though.

You should spell out Kompressor and just run lettering along the entire trunk lid. That would be sweet....
I'm not a fan of the look but to each his own. Can't tell if it's straight from that pic either. Need a picture of the whole back end so there is something to reference better.

Koru_Kinshi

I guess I'll take one tomorrow of the full back at the So Cal meet at Tia Juana's.

Koru_Kinshi

That hurts. I'm not that dumb to do that.

You think it looks that bad, huh? Does anyone here have other suggestions on how to separate from the crowd? Debadging is pretty standard. This was meant to demonstrate my knowledge of the car I drive...no one else would think of it.

W 203 isn't terribly unusual either.

SilverBulletAMG

Not trying to be a jerk, it's just not my style. Everyone else seems to like it though so don't let my cynical comment sway you. Really it doesn't matter what any of us think as long as you like it.
You wanted to do something original and you have done just that. Thumbs up for thinking outside the box.

ScottW911

The problem is that, although it shows (to the most technical of enthusiast) that you know what kind of engine your car possesses, it says little about the car. Couldn't a SLK32 driver have the same badge? Or a SRT6 driver with the same? Confusing.

I say, stick with original or de-badge. Everything else is on the verge of rice.

JonMBZ

I don't really like it either, only a handful of people will even understand it everyone else will just be like wtf is a m112k mercedes?

ScottW911

Dude, it looks like you are de-badging your car in stages. Has Lenneth fallen on hard times?




By the way, you might want to get your tags renewed before you get a nasty little fine from the Sheriff.

SilverBulletAMG

Lets hope its just an older picture....

Dingleberry

needs more c230 badges

ScottW911

Took that with my phone just this morning as I returned from my mountain bike ride.

SilverBulletAMG

OP's busted!

W203Ramos

debadge or paint your originals black.....IMO
