Someone should test out these nw AMG center caps

Someone needs to buy these and see if they will work as the hood emblem. Would be great quality.

"Dear AMG Private Lounge members,

Mercedes-AMG is excited to offer its customers the exclusive AMG center caps with the traditional AMG emblem.

- The AMG center cap features an emblem which is embossed in aluminium and finished with a color screen print, and has an impressively high-quality look. The accuracy and detail of the embossed elements underline the product's quality and help create a 3D effect.
- The traditional AMG emblem acknowledges the company's roots and its location. It depicts an apple tree, which also features in the Affalterbach municipal coat of arms, along with a valve and a camshaft, linking the company's Affalterbach location with its reputation for performance automotive technology.
- The AMG center cap is based on the standard Mercedes-Benz center cap and is therefore suitable for most Mercedes-AMG and Mercedes-Benz light-alloy wheels.
- Exclusive design in aluminium, embossed with the traditional AMG emblem - a highlight for your AMG light-alloy wheels. Set of 4 in decorative packaging.

Contact your Mercedes-Benz dealer to order these new AMG center caps. Please provide the following part # A000 400 3100."

Those look of very nice quality from the pic, but afraid to ask how much $$ at the dealer.


Just looked on ebay, $300.

In the comments someone bought them from MB of Annapolis for $164. Not too bad for 4 of them.

Ty! The PL does have some unique items sometimes. I asked about size/dimensions but no comment back yet. Hoping someone is looking for center caps and can test fit on the hood also ..."hoping" lol.

Looks like these were made for the Asian/AU market early in the year, then moved off to the PL. I believe these are 7.5cm/75mm

Oh damn, too bad. 75mm would look pretty goofy on the hood.

Yeh, I am surprised no one makes all aluminum hood badges for our cars. Something solid, doesn't fade etc.

Anyone know someone with a CNC plotter? You could make a killing selling these and some all blacked out OEM badges. *hint hint*

They don't have to be curved. A flat/flush solid aluminum badge would look great there.

I ordered a set earlier in the week...I'm being told 3 weeks for delivery due to backorder. Paid $164. I'll see how they line up on the hood and let you know.

I don't think these wheel center caps will work on the hood. The hood emblem is 57mm diameter and the wheel center caps are 75mm. They should look good on your wheels though.

My 71 had those hub caps.

Sorry never measured it up for a standing star replacement or an ornament on the top of the grill surround.....lol

Maybe drill a hole in the center and fit a battery operated clock mechanism and use it for a wall clock. It does have 12 spokes....lol

Yep, I picked this up last week at my dealer before hitting Montreal for the Grand Prix. They look really nice! A little swag for the 507. :-)
It seemed to be a hit as the hotel valet guys parked the car in front of a two Lambos, a 458 and RS7. It was a mini car show a the Hyatt!!!! LOL
