You might be able to tint it, but I would be careful as that would mess with the sensor behind there. Otherwise I think you'd be looking at a custom piece to put in there.
I personally blacked out the front grill, but left the whole emblem alone including the chrome ring.

As mentioned the sensors for distronic are behind the badge.

Planning on putting a 10% smoke on the front emblem.
Does anyone know if this will mess with the Drivers Assistance/Distronic sensors?
Thanks in advance

VViVid Dark Smoke 16” x 60” adhesive, $13, took 15 min to apply and cut since the ring has a crevice inside for easy trimming.. came out great! Also used the same material for reverse lights pics below

I'm trying to decide about tinting mine too. Most days love it as is, some days I want to pull the wrap off the ring and some days I want it tinted.

2019 c63s distronic
Hey all, I have a 2019 c63s currently getting ppf wrapped. Just wanted to double check if anyone had any issues with the front star being tinted/ wrapped in black with regards to the distronic system behind the embelem? I posted some pics of her on delivery.

I apologize for this, but I found your request for a picture with color of something that is black and silver. Sorry

On a serious note, I received a gloss black star for the trunk. It also came with an adhesive backing. I'm subscribed the this thread since I also want to black out the front but not at the expense of possibly losing the Distronic.

I have attached if the area in question. The silver ring around the star is no issue. My ppf installer said he can wrap that, however the star emblem highlighted in blue is my point of question.
I found an aftermarket one from the UK on CKS however at the opportunity of saving 1000 Australian with shipping etc, was wondering if it’s been done on the original factory piece.

The up side: it looks great. The downside: you must use the original glass Distronic assembly. However, you run a risk of messing with the alignment of the Distronic assembly and what it 'sees' and what it does not. CKS shows pictures and sells the parts. It's a gut call.
