Fun with Badges

After seeing the new fender badges on the CLA45, I couldn't resist...!

Edit: Same great badge, new location

Nice. If I had a turbo I'd do it.

I think I'm going to try the V8 Biturbo badge on my E550. I got rid of the "Blue Efficiency" badge on day 1. I don't see this as being false in any way. Did you get the generic cheap clones, or the OEM part that cost about $30/ea? I'm wondering if there is any difference.

Is it me or does the turbo badge look crooked and not centered?

It does look crooked from that angle but it's parallel with the side skirt/ground.

And it's not centered as I was following the look of the CLA45. Having looked at it for a few days I think I may center it at some point.

+1 on Mitch's observation.

OP: the cla's crease is either upwards or parallel to the skirt. the 212's crease is downwards, so thats what were probably seeing.

I have the "E550" badge on my trunk lid. So many fellow drivers on the streets do not know the difference between 350 or another small number and 550. I have been teaching people in my neighborhood for the difference and I must say people around are smart as they learn quickly...but there is always that visitor around too...
