Badge location

One of my MB sedan is due to return from lease and I was told to place badges back on. I debugged both C300 and 4matic on back of my trunk. Can anyone give me the measurement to place those badges in the proper place so Im not stuck with hefty charges?

Maybe go to a second hand car yard and take measurements yourself also take photos for reference? Did you try posting in the C class W205 thread? More people are likely to do what you are doing than in the C43.
Its good your doing it yourself. MB will charge a fortune.

I just eyeballed it based on pics I googled, as long as the badges are on the correct side and lined up evenly you shouldn't have any issues when you return the car.

I'm also debadging my C43 today...too many stinking badges on these cars, lol.

Did you remove the AMG badge.

Im not a fan of some removing the C43 and keeping the AMG part. I think its either all or nothing. Just my thoughts.

I agree, it's doesn't look right if all you remove just the C43 lettering. I'm removing all of it...AMG, C43 and the biturbo badging because I think it looks cleaner that way.

However, I've seen some people take it too far...I saw a Porsche Cayenne recently that the owner removed everything from the rear, even the Porsche lettering, it looked really odd because there's too much empty space.

There's a ton of debate about this in the Porsche community. Complete debadge is a factory option after all.

I find that if youre just removing the C43 and not the AMG, then youre not entirely happy having "just a C43". I doubt many C63 owners would remove the C63 and keep the AMG.

I have seen this with those with the CLA 45 AMG, they remove the CLA but keep the AMG. I agree its all or nothing. I might do it one day.

Really??? I know model delete is a no-cost option but I find it odd that Porsche would offer to delete their name entirely from the vehicle.

It is known practice, not sure how many do it though. With that said the shape of their car is iconic. There is no confusing what a 911 is.
