Some of you have written to ask if my badges fit the newer model W211's with the solid Chrome style base mount. The short answer is YES.
In technical fact, the polished face upright hood star mount on the W211 E-Class cars from the mid model update forward (2007?) was introduced on the S-Class (W221) in 2006, and carries an S-Class part number, #221-880-0086 (the “221” part of the number means it is for a W221 S-Class sedan). So, (technically) the latter half of the W211 model run have an upright hood star from the S-Class.
However, this is a simple adaptation of the Laurel Wreath Upright Star that came before (Pt# 210-880-0186), which first appeared on the W210 E-Class in 1996, and ran through the first half of the W211 run. You’ll notice that the diameter of both stars is the same, and the mount that is below the hood is identical for both badges.
Because I manufacture my WHITE STAR and AMG Flat Badges from the W210 upright, my badges will fit all the Mercedes sedans that use these two Upright Star styles, including all variants of the W211. Compare side by side photos of the Upright stars and their related flat badges below.

Christmas Delivery Notice...
Should you want to order one of my badges for the holidays (as a gift for yourself or someone else), I suggest that you contact me so that your order can be placed no later than Saturday, Dec. 18. This will ensure that your package is mailled on the 20th for delivery by Dec. 23rd.
I mail all my badges using USPS Priority Mail, in a Small Flat Rate Box, with delivery in 2-3 business days.
Each year, someone always wants to place an order at the last minute and demand overnight delivery. I can't accomodate these, as I will be travelling and out of touch after Dec. 22. Orders placed after this time will be shipped on Dec. 27.
So, if you want a badge before Christmas, please place your order sometime this coming week, please. Thanks.

Mercedes E55 AMG (2006), Mercedes 560 SEL (1991)
Love the AMG badge but love my 3- pointed star hood ornament too. Would it be possible to get the AMG badge for the radiator grill on my 06 E55?

Hey, is this a licenced MB product or is it a trade mark infringement?

Someone in Australia just bought a WHITE Star Flat Badge. That makes for 3 in that country, 2 in New Zealand.

It's funny that my work is stalked for harassment across several forums, when the vast majority of merchandise marketed here by other sponsors (JBSPEED and others) uses unlicensed, current trademarks.

As of today, there are 467 White Star Flat Badges in circulation, leaving just 33 more to go before the 500 milestone is reached. I will continue to make these until I run out of parts, which should take it to about 675 badges.
However, I have not decided whether to continue numbering these after the first 500 are sold.
In either case, if serail numbers mean anything to you, you should plan to contact me soon if you want a White Star Flat Badge numbered 500 or less.
Next AMG Badge to be sold is Serial #52. By anyone's measure, these are rare, indeed.

For those among you with my AMG Badge... Could you post some pictures, please? There aren't many of these badges around, and even fewer people with photo skills, apparently, LOL!
