So I get my S500 back from bodyshop and S500 logo is crooked!!!

My car got rear ended and i got it fixed, now i have to take it back because of a couple things i noticed, including a crooked s 500 logo placement, anybody mind taking pics of where there logo is placed on there car and sending it here, it looks like they did the placement by eye not by measurement!!!mine is too close to side and too low i believe.

Haha, take it back and make them repair it. On a good note, the paint looks superb from what I can tell in the photo anyway.

It's very hard to find a body shop who can actually place the S500 badges properly since there are no holes to insert the badges to. I suggest trying to have the body shop have two S500's side by side in order to place the badges correctly...but definitely have the badge placement redone or debadged. In the mean time if I can get a rear end picture of my S500 tomorrow or some time, I'll post it up for you!

EDIT: I've found a high resolution picture that might work:

the top of the letters should match up with top of the tailight, very simple to run a level and tape off the top edge.

This may help - https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w...-position.html Photos are of my car - the badges have never been moved.
