Badging Ideas anyone?

I'm getting bored with the left side of the boot of my ride and have been thinking about intorducing some fun (and more chrome) with badging. Saw these "gems" on another board but not sure if I'd go down that path...I was thinking more like "E00" or "E88" - something that'll go with my AMG kit yet definitely not possible but still looks genuine at a glance to keep everyone guessing.....anyone with some other ideas?

If you look at it from the factory perspective......E1000 would be a 10.0 liter mercedes engine or 1.0! It's something different for sure.

How about E32?

You could always say someone stole your"0"?I notice that most guys,and gals who use the forum leave the badging on.Or add something tasteful.

And they are never real,Whiteness.

Thx guys - 10 liters would definitely be out of the question, just wanted to share with you guys what some people do.

Stemags, E32 was actually an AMG option - a poor man's AMG E I suppose so I wouldn't do that either. Unfortunately my engine is actually smaller........so if I dropped the "0", it'll look like I know nothing at all.

The E1000 is a stretch limo. The E32 should be like the C32 with an AMG body kit and maybe a supercharger.

I think the E32 was an Euro/Asia AMG option (also the E50 I think) - I guess under thr presumption you guys wouldn't settle for anything less than a 5.5 (at least on the E).

So was the E1000 a real factory option or just something the stretchers called their mods?

The E1000 is funny. I'd do something like E666, or ED-209 (the robot)

That's too radical.

I urge everyone to put the AMG badge on, just to enrage the pack of AMG elitists on these boards.

No lie.....I saw a 300SE W140 with the following badges:

S (from the S-class)
CL (from the - you guessed it, the CL)
A (from an AMG badge)
SS (from a Chevy)

It nicely spelled out "SCLASS"

Go with an Ematic badge on the left and AMG on the right or just 2matic on the left.

A 4 matic is 4 wheel drive so if you don't have a 4 matic put 2 matic on for 2 wheel drive.
