when i got the car it was de-badged, but i never liked the V12 on that molding, and wanted to put V12 Biturbo on the fender, like yours. but i don't know if our cars are Biturbo or not.

as of right now, i don't understand the difference between Twin-Turbo and Bi-Turbo engines. are they same? if not, what is the difference?

and finally, puting V12 Biturbo emblem on my car will be correct or not?

thanks

Both of our vehicles have a bi-turbo engine (the same as a twin turbo). Each turbo supplies one bank of the V12.

Although it is not stock to put the badges on the side of the front fenders like I did, it still represents what's in the vehicle, correctly.
Many purists will caution against what i did, but to each his own...

-Chris

2003+ S600/CL600/SL600 is a V12 biturbo. I like the badges but often got questioned and accused of posing. Idiots.

I used some metalic silver spray paint for plastic surfaces. I'm not a fan of the color so I am going to repaint it with another brand of silver.

Are you talking about the 600 or the 65?

I checked and the S65 has 19x9.5 rear wheels.

oxygen - its gettin lower and lower everytime i see the beast.. something about your wheels, the silver lip matching the silver color body just spells, "DONT F WITH ME, ITS A S65 YESSIR."
