quick hood badge question

Would a flat hood badge that fits a C43 (1.75" diameter) fit a W210? Seems to me that one of the other classes (SLK or SL) has a different diameter recess ... not sure about C class.

TIA,


TJC

Not sure, but check this company out. It seems that they have product spec'd appropriately for a particular model.

Good luck

Thanks, I'm aware of Performance Products.

Let's put it this way: will a hood star from a C series fit an E series?

i don't know the answer to your question...but maybe look into a flat AMG badge to replace the star...IMO the one on our 55 now looks MUCH MUCH better than the star(i can take a pic if you want to see it..)

I have a flat badge already ... the reason that I asked the question is that an *authentic* AMG hood badge came up on ebay.

See here for link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2451400749

I bid on this but lost by $2.50

This badge is enameled metal, not what you usually see. I'd post a pic here but the function is not working.

Anyone know where you can buy one of these?

TIA,


TJC

Actually some amg badges ive seen also say they are enameled metal.

The question i guess becomes , though, how do we get a similar order placed with AMG.

Right! Anyone have any ideas? The 'resin dome' AMG badge that I have is starting to look less than MB quality.

Thanks -
