Hey there. I just picked up an 02 black C32 in the Chicago area yesterday. MB dealers sell the flat emblems from what I've heard. They are also for sale on ebay.com. I'm having one put on my car this week when it goes in for 2003 bushings to cure the creaking suspension. Not sure if the MB dealer is the best source for the lights. The pros here will surely chime in on that one.

I went to the dealer and asked ( Motorwerks ) and they said they dont sell them seperatly and that it would be better to aquire them from an aftermarket source, btw what dealer are you going to, to have the flat emblem put on?

I'm actually based in Florida (just found the car up your way and drove back). I'd heard that dealers have them but maybe its on a case by case basis. I'll check with my local dealer tomorrow. You can see at least 2 types of flat badges for sale on ebay. Just search for mercedes badge and they'll pull up. I'm going for a plain mercedes (non AMG) badge with a simpler design.

welcome and congrats...
for bi-xenon ask MBenzNL aka Steve or ask Harris aka Harris on the board.
for the flat hood badge, you can get it from the dealership or you can search on eBay.

Eric,
I just went to my dealer and had a flat badge put on in place of the vertical star emblem. It was $54 for the part (ug plastic BTW) and $38 to slap it on. It does look better than the star to me. I picked up a nice steel keychain with the AMG logo also ($15ish).

It seemed like I waited about 20 minutes. I found it to be kind of high for something I probably could have done myself in that amount of time. Live and learn.
I was hoping for the new customer treatment "Welcome to our dealership and MB ownership in general. Oh I see you purchased our very over-priced plastic emblem and that oh so cool AMG keychain. May I have one of our service techs pop that on for you at no charge while our fluffer services you in the waiting area?" Maybe next time.
