2003 C230 Kompressor Coupe
R129 Front Grille Emblem Size

Hello,

I just recently purchased an aftermarket front grille for my ‘03 C230 Kompressor Coupe. It came with the emblem provision, but not the Mercedes emblem. I measured the diameter and it comes out to 6.5 inches. After doing some research I came across the R129 model which I believe has the same size emblem as what I’m looking for. Can anyone confirm this? Additionally, if anyone knows of an emblem for sale and wants to point me in the right direction that’d be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hard to tell from pictures - but I double checked and it is 6.5”

I am in need of replacing the front grill emblem on my R129. Anybody have any suggestions on vendors as it appears MB doesn't supply that part anymore. Thanks.

You have to buy the whole grill.

I just got a new grill and sold my old one.

First, there are 2 grill versions.

I got a new grill over a year ago new in a MB box and sold my old one to a member here.

The early cars have more slats than the newer ones.
