I have a 2013 but my hood emblem didn't look like that. 2 clips, just squeeze together and pop it off from the underside. Take 2 seconds, super easy.

You bought the wrong one. The two pin ones are commonly found on ML, GL, R and other vehicles where only the flat badge is available within the model range. The C has both the upright star and flat badges depending on model, therefore the hood is designed differently. The flat badge on the C clips into place and there's a large hollow opening if you remove the badge.

The reason that I bought this one is because the ebay seller claims that it has the correct size 57mm and I wanted the same size, maybe I did not read the offering right, anyhow, where can I get one with the right size same as stock and good quality?

tks

This is the one I just bought. Quality is decent. I'm content with it although not blown away. The center aluminum sticker is a bit thin and I had to press it pretty hard to get it to stick well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMG-design-H...00652480651%26

You should be able to return it. Next time, ask for a picture of the back or look under your hood first.

I bought one of these about 4 months ago and it has started to corode and chip already. I'm going to look for alernatives.

Really? Mine is still fine and there are many other members that haven't had your problem.

Yup. Corroded on parts of the edge and it was polished and waxed. Could be 4 months of Scottish weather and road salt!
