Silver to Black

Hey Everyone

Hope you're all well?
Changed my lettering today from silver to black. Quite an easy job really. Pic attached and I think it suits the rest of the car.
If anyone wants all of the silver lettering FOR FREE, then first to PM me gets them. All I ask is that you foot up the postage costs. I'll even supply the dirty rag if you want it!!

What method did you use to ensure exact same positioning?

Simply used some masking tape to line up the edges before I removed the old lettering. The diagonal lines came as one piece which was a relief.

Looks very nice - I did my black GT similar to yours

Star Trek fan? - Rescue the ship...or not?


So, looks like you're in Europe? GB?

I just purchased a 2021 E63s and Im swapping all of the emblems for gloss black (already done on the GTC)

fun fact: most of these blacked out versions tend to be sourced in China, AND if you are a US customer, as of late of its getting held up/confiscated at the point of entry for copyright violation. Im finding it very difficult to get a legitimate US source for these. The star in black is simple enough, but the AMG seems to be their focus.

I feel for you Skilly. Unfortunate how geo-politics affect our need for car modification!!
I managed to source OEM for these off Ebay. Thought I was quite fortunate really as I wasn't really looking for OEM.
Pic below of the bag some of them came in...
