Looks good and OEM to boot. How do you get the old one off / new one one?

Spin the bottom part of the oem badge under the hood, the new one just clips in, takes not even one minute to do

The only problem with your badge is that it does not fit well with the W212 hood. The crease in the middle of the hood prevents it from being flush with the paint. Also, if you take it off, you will find the plastic has cut into the paint on the hood.

I know this because I tried the same thing.

I went with DFW Dude's badge and now all is good. No damage with it.

Damn...wish I would have seen this earlier. I just ordered on from my MB dealer. They had to ship the "we owe" all weather mats for mine and I had them toss it in the box. Parts guy said the stand up emblem was the same part number for both cars so it should work. I wonder if there is a different in the flat base to the stand up. I'll check it out and report back...with pictures even if someone will tell me how to post.

Black W212 E550
I've got a perfect fit badge that I never used that I would be willing to sell if anyone who wants it PM me ($20). I researched these extensively and this is one of the best, I laid in on the hood it fits perfectly in the hole. Could ship it by mail for $5 additional.

I'd jump on that if I wanted a flat badge!

Don't half a$$ it with the C badge. The E's hood is more contoured with a more prominent crease, which will have the C badge sitting unbecomingly non-flush (you can even notice it a bit in that pic provided above). You'll also save from hood scratches (around the ring, as has been said), and water/dirt getting swept up into that area.

I got mine from JB SPEED. Nice fitment. Sorry for the bad pictures, but they were taken in the garage with the iPhone.

I agree, mine wasn't as flushed when I installed. Doesn't look as hott unless you covert to a C Class grill.

Does the E-class coupe badge fit?
