Hello gentlemen, the star on the engine cover (or some calls it beauty cover) broke in pieces. I measured it and it is 3 1/4 inches. I called some people, and you can't buy it seperately, you have to buy the whole cover about $80-$140.

I am thinking about replacing it with a different 3 1/4 inch star. Do you guys have other Mercedes cars you can check the sizes of the any emblem, or trunk emblem (older models). I will go for that on Ebay, I just wanted to get some info. from fellow Benz owners first.

Your help is sincerely appreciated.
Thank you

 

I replaced mine with a AMG logo emblem (ebay).I applied it with 3m high heat adhesive and it's been good to go since.I can't post pics until my car comes back from the mechanic.When it does, I will. I think Staplegun did the same thing also, maybe he can post a pic faster for you.

 

The chrome came off of mine. Maybe the warranty will pay for another one. What are the odds?

 

Slim and none, with Slim on a bus headed out of town.

 

Thank you a lot sir!

Currently I am communicating with some sellers from ebay, some have a 84 mm star, some have 2 7/8 inches. AMG logo sounds great. Can you lead me to that AMG emblem on ebay maybe? What was the diameter? Your idea might be a lot better than replacing the star...

Thanks again.

 

I had similar problem, after chrome's gone, star broke in pieces.

 

i have the same problem... please update this thread if you find a solution. thanks

 

mine was wrecked- prior to selling the whole assembly

 

Is everything ok with your car?



Thanks sir

 

Any pictures yet?
I am still looking for a replacement ekmblem or star to replace the cheap star on the engine cover.

I believe it is 3 inches in diameter. Does anyone know?

Thank you

 

Here you go -

 

do you have a link of the seller? thanks!

 

Wow! That's beautiful!!

Is this one of those emblems they sell on ebay around 20-40 bucks like this?
Would you mind telling me what the diameter is?

thank you very much

 

I'll check my ebay account tonight and try to find the seller.I think it was "welch" something..I'll see what I can find.

 

Your link is for a hood emblem- much too small.I will measure it tonight and post the diameter.It is literally a perfect fit to the diameter of the missing star emblem.

 

Just measured it - 2-7/8"

 

The seller was :cwelchmotorsacc , unfortunately, he/she is no longer a registered member.

 

crap!
there is nothing on ebay like that.
I guess I keep looking
