I have resumed production of WHITE STAR Flat Badges. In addition, to address numerous requests, I have also designed a second badge,
an AMG Flat Badge.

Both flat badges are handmade from a genuine Mercedes upright hood ornament, part 210 880 01 86, using the original mount of the OEM part. So, they will fit all cars using this part: C-Class Sedans (only) 1995-present (W202, W203, W204 Sport or Luxury); E-Class 1995-present (W210, W211, W212); S-Class 1995-present (W220, W221), and CLK 1998-2002 (W208). These badges will NOT fit cars not designed to use the Original upright hood ornament, such as the W204 C63 AMG or the W203 Coupe.
Of course, the new AMG Flat Badge appropriately fits ALL AMG variants of cars above. The AMG badge offers enough contrast that it can also be used on cars with the tri-star badge on the grille, thus avoiding the “double badge” duplicate star issue on the newest car models.
The following picture (to right) shows the mount and lock of these badges, used without alteration from the original upright star. This ensures that your replacement flat badge will lock in the hood, just like your upright star. (Not like other flat badges that use funky screw posts with washers and wing nuts that take time to adjust.) It takes just seconds to remove your original upright ornament and replace it with either the WHITE STAR Flat Badge or the AMG Flat Badge. Switch back and forth between your original ornament and flat badge anytime the whim strikes you.

Each badge is autographed and serial numbered. Serial numbers are assigned in the order payment is received.
There currently are 365 serial-numbered WHITE STAR Flat Badges in circulation. The new AMG Flat Badge will start a new sequence of serial numbers, beginning at 003.
Your badge is delivered in 2-3 business days, via USPS Priority Mail, anywhere in the US. Int'l delivery available on request.
As always, I do not talk about pricing at MBWorld. This is to avoid confusion on the forums where I can be more specific off line. If you are interested, simply click on my e-mail address below my signature, and send me an e-mail. I will respond promptly, as always.

It occurs to me that some of you might not know the history behind my products here at MBWorld. So, I will post a link to one of the previous threads that proved informative and popular throughout the years. This link includes hundreds of photos of the WHITE STAR Flat Badge on various cars. Naturally, the majority of the pictures on W203s are further down the history of 320+ posts.

Weather warmed up enough to take a couple pictures of the new AMG Flat Badge. First two pics are of my W203, followed by a picture on a W211 E63 AMG.



Here are a few pictures from the archives of the WHITE STAR Flat Badge on various cars.

Announcing a July promotion on the purchase of my AMG Badge (only). $10 off the regular price. Please click on my e-mail addy in the signature below to inquire.
:
: for an actually well made badge as opposed to some of the other crap that is floating around.
I don't understand why people want to drive an AMG and stick some cheap junk on their car?
Thanks for a great product DFWdude. I love my white star emblem. Great nod to the classic emblem.
Still looks brand new on my car after a couple of years.
If you want I can email you a photo. I don't feel like hosting any images myself.
Good stuff

.Sorry if they are too large, I don't have photoshop on this computer and am not so hot with changing pics around anyways.
Hopefully you can edit or do whatever you need with the hood shot.
Thanks again for a great high quality product that actually deserves to be on an AMG hood unlike some of that junk that is floating around.

WHITE STAR Flat Badge #495 has been shipped. If you want one of the remaining 5 badges numbered 500 or below, contact me now via my email, DFWdude@tx.rr.com.

Finally got it figured out DFLWdude.
So much better than the cheap metal mount and plastic/poly emblems that are out there posing. Thanks again.

A Bonus offer for a limited time...
From now through the Christmas holidays, you can buy a WHITE STAR Flat Badge or an AMG Flat Badge, and I will throw in the chromed upright tristar that is removed from the OEM Mercedes badge in order to make your Flat badge.
Use this star to celebrate the holidays, or several other ways. Some ideas are shown below...

Hey DUDE... lol ... do you realize that the MB star is upside down on your pics of ideas for what you can do with the tristar. Just an observation...

Years after starting this project, I still get questions whether my badges are a direct swap for the 44mm diameter Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) Standing Star hood ornament.
To clarify again, my badges are made DIRECTLY from the OEM part, so indeed, they are 44mm badges. How could they be anything else?
The following picture shows how the OEM part is adapted to accommodate either the AMG or WHITE STAR flat badge insignia.

Here are some pictures of the AMG Flat Badge. Those of you with legitimate AMG vehicles should consider one. At this date there are only 61 of these in circulation on the planet -- only one or two on a W210 AMG series to my knowledge -- so they would make a very unique customization for your beast.

People still ask how flush to the hood my badges are. Here's a good example. You can't get any more flush than this...

Happy New Year to all.
As I write this, there are 514 WHITE STAR Flat Badges and a scant 65 AMG Flat Badges in circulation worldwide. Still an exclusive way to customize your Mercedes, regardless of which badge you choose.
Let's start off the new year with some new pictures, please?
