I know everyone was curious to see what the AMG badge that I have mentioned in my previous posts looked like, so I took a pic to show it off. It is not on the car yet as I want to get the windows tinted first, but here it is on a very nice backdrop!!

Whas so good about that badge?..

MarcusBenz

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder! This badge is made of metal and the detail is very good quality. It is not plastic, like a lot of the ones out there that say "AMG". Also, all the details are raised so you can feel the lettering, the tree and parts. I think if the pic where better, you could really see what is so good about this badge!!!

pnsji has a couple of those on his c36.

they sell AMG badges in the stores here but ive never seen that one. or maybe i have but i forgot, in anycase its very cool looking ive seen a fake W211 E55 with AMG badges to replace the star front and rear, it did look cool but the car was black.

AMIL

is there a part number for that?

MarcusBenz

Amil,

I don't have any clue! I ordered it from a fellow board member that is in S. Florida, his name is Chris Siegle. If you would like more info. on it, e-mail him at sieglec@hotmail.com. He will e-mail you pics as he has two color schemes for this badge and both look very nice.

I don't mean to burst your bubble... but that's not authentic (well, I guess that depends on what your definition of "authentic" is). Word I've had from AMG in Germany is that the only ones similar to that had no color. Could have been some German trick on me though.

Marcus - That looks like the badge that was so popular on this forum only a year ago. I bought mine off of ebay for around $20 bucks. It was heavy and made out of metal as well. Kind of an enamle finish. After I bought mine I too heard that it wasn't "authentic" but it does give you a good flat look. Do a search under "flat badge" and I think you'll find a lont of historical discussion on that badge including details on how to replace the stock one.

MarcuzBenz,

Is there a screw attached to the back of your badge that allows you to mount it on your hood? Or is is just a flat badge?

It appears to not have a screw since you placed it on top of the SLR brochure.

MarcusBenz

t-bone,

It does not have a screw on the back & will be mounted via an adapter kit that can be provided by Chris for the car that come with the raised star from the factor. Now, if the car comes with the flat star, like the coupes, you are provided 3M automotive adhesive to mount the badge on the hood.

I just put it on and here is a not so good pic, but you can get the general idea!!
