Hey Guys Wanting To Make Emblems To Sell…

I have a friend that does small 3D prints.
‘He did some Amg emblems for me and I really liked them.
‘So got the idea to make some and sell them…

I’m thinking of making the Mercedes star and the amg logos in carbon fiber
Most cars don’t have them anymore so this will help make the engine cover look good.

The other part may be a rear trunk spoiler which I will have to mod the small pieces to convert them to a complete spoiler.
I made a thread here that shows the spoiler I made with fiber glass. The 3D spoiler will be in abs plastic so will be strong.

Other part I’m thinking of is the front tow hook cover (whatever it’s called). I’ve read that some guys lost this part.

Also the AMG logo indifferent sizes. So they can be used with 3M double sided tape and you can put them anywhere. I will be putting mines on the front and rear headrest. Another one that’s 6 inches long I will put it on the dashboard wood trim, right in the center. You get the idea….

We can also make the amg and c43 logo for the trunk in carbon fiber.
My friend will be making me a trunk star with the amg logo attached to the star at the bottom. I have not yet seen what he came up with so I’m looking forward to that. I will post when I can upload some pictures.

If you have any other ideas please feel free to let me know.
‘Thanks.

Btw, I may start shipping my modified air boxes with the Speed43 logo on them. I been asked to do this long ago but now I can do so with the help of my friend.

Stuff you see at the stealership, but not at stealership pricing.

I’d be interested in an engine cover star in chrome if possible.

someone could make a serious killing if they got real scans of hard to replace MB plastics and started making 3d printed replacements.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to replace the third brake light on a w202? The rear shelf plastics in general are all destroyed by now and not replaceable. And the ones in wrecking yards just crumble in your hands when you try to remove them.

What do you mean third brake light? You mean the brake light on the rear windshield?

I'm interested. Find it and take a pic of the bottom part where it attaches to the car if you find it. No rush!
