Nice car. That is weird that the A is missing. Maybe the previous owner's initials were MG? I would ask the dealer or worst case have an A fabricated.

I will try to contact the dealer but i guess my next move might be to start trying to find a wrecked Black Series and make some calls and try to convince someone to remove a letter for me.
Does anyone know the best way to track down some wrecked BS's?

With that kind of collection I figure the means of getting a silly little chrome "A" are in the cards.
OP -- You won't find a wrecked one. Best bet would be to have an A made. I would just ask a member to get some measurements if they could.
The "6.3" fender badges should be a little easier to come by if you want to get those back on the fenders for the OEM look.
That garage though... Yeah, I messed up haha

so long shot but couldnt you take some mold putty and just squish it onto the letter (of course stipulation is finding somebody who has one that will let you smash mold putty into it). then find a company willing to mold it? I don't think it will be cheap for a one off piece, but that could be a last resort type of situation.

Just get a different badge. It's a stupid dash badge for cryin out loud, it's not like a super rare classic car that has to have every original nut and bolt otherwise it's worthless. It's going to be too much trouble to get the "A" to match and you're going to drive yourself crazy trying. Get something from eBay for $5 and be done with it.

For everyone who was mortified about the badge removal, I was googling emblems to buy and came across this thread, I believe I may have found the culprit!

Figured I'd bump this thread. So my dealer was doing some work in the dash and they said when they went to put the carbon trim back on the letters flew off. They were able to find "AMG", but not the slashes and the Black Series "L". So the entire first part of the badge is missing. They're ordering a brand new carbon dash piece ($2k) from Germany. At least they're doing the right thing for me and I appreciate that. Seems like the glue for the emblem might not be that strong.
OP, if you're still missing that A I might know a source lol.

Hey there,
I am new to the forum because I am in search of a G for my BS dashboard badging. I think the detailer popped it off with a towel or something and I can't find it anywhere. Any chance you still have the G and could hook me up?

The badge isn't sold separately. You have to buy the entire dash trim in order to get replacement letters.
