Swap hood badge?
I really like the AMG hood badge on the 2024 facelift. Has anyone swapped it out yet?

I've been trying. Each time the parts guy orders a badge the fulfillment center sends the wrong one. My 2022 GLE53 needs the one with 2 posts/pins. They keep getting ones that have the thick plastic block on the backside. They are getting a regional parts Mgr involved to get it sorted. No resolution yet. We even used a Vin from a new amg sl being delivered and they sent the wrong part. Go figure. At least I got my red amg gas cap.

Part Number for GLE is A000 817 03 08. For the record, I tried to buy this part in the US and it wasnt available for ordering yet. I had a friend in Germany buy this off Kunzmann and ship it to me after it was delivered to her.
Link here. Also some pictures of the badge. This has the two center vertical posts on the rear.

Parts dept man got the correct piece from Germany but one of the 2 pins had some damage, so he has to order another one. Looks like another week or two but at least he figured out how to get them into the US without the MB parts system balking at the request. I'll post pics when the new piece comes in. Piece with bad pin below:

Replacement piece with no pin damage arrived last week. Just installed today. Easy peasy.
(Yes, I cleaned up well under the oem star badge before pressing the new one in place ;-)

FYI to all the people who stumble on this, ALL GLE's 2016+ have the same 57mm size emblem; the AMG emblem is confirmed 57mm.
Well i know for sure at least I confirmed it for my 2016 GLE 400 and 2018 GLE 43.

I recently ordered one from from Mercteil. I've purchased several accessories from them and they are always reliable and ship exactly what was ordered.
