Flat badge or upright Star
I'm having second thoughts and undecided with which bonnet badge to have on the nose.
Should it be the flat MB badge like all modern ones, the flat AMG badge I have had for a while, or revert to the standard Star?
Your opinion appreciated 😉

Had a custom flat one for years when no one had a flat badge. Now that everyone has the flat I have gone back to the star.

I wouldn't do the bigger badge, it might damage the paint over time
