Looking for a favor! Can anyone post a picture of their fender badges with a tape measure to the nearest creases / badges?
I am a poser, looking to add V8 Biturbo badges to my S550. I personally find the naked side of the car very plain. Not at all pretending to be an AMG, but I know some will see it that way.

Agree with the beautiful ride comment
and to be fair, cfmistry, you aren't posing because 1. Your car does indeed have a V8 .... 2. Your engine indeed has BITurbos

Thanks BuddyK! cfmistry has a point; the non-AMG fenders do look rather dull.
I ordered a couple of V8biturbo badges, but I couldn't find ones with 4Matic (not 4Matic+) so I just got a couple of normal ones. Here's the result:
Took me a lot of effort to align and level them properly (even though if it may not show properly in the photo).
I did go ahead and added another thing on my car however, the letter L after the model badge, for Long. Yeah, I know it's silly and it's been decades since Mercedes used such a designation (in Europe, as far as I know they never did in the US) but I like it.
And that's as far as I'm going to go for "car mods"!
I did find the 4Matic (and not 4Matic+) ones eBay. So to a trained eye they would notice this is not the S63 badge but one perfectly suited to the S550!

Oh damn it, this looks way nicer. Congrats, it looks very nice and I think I'm going to hunt a couple down for myself as well.

You beat me to the punch. I was going to say the same thing.
Makes me wonder if the MB technicians ever see those badges and make mechanical decisions based on the badging. I know they enter the VIN#s before doing any real work, but it could throw them off initially.
