Hi.

I'm close to finish with the visual aspects of my family wagon. There are just a few minor things to do left. There is one thing which I can't make my mind about. Which badge to choose for the front fenders...so please share your thoughts about this if you can/want


Just to give you a brief feeling the car looks like this at the moment:







Now to the point. I can't decide if I should go with the Lorinser or V8 Kompressor badges on front fenders:










What I think a the moment:

V8 Kompressor badges:
+ This is OEM/original what was on the car
+ This is OEM/Original part
- all (well almost) of the E55 have them (Lorinser will be a bit more unique)
- I'm not really sure if they look good in this place (not the stock location)

Lorinser badges:
- theese are fake chineese badges/they aren't OEM
+ nobody will see/know that they're chineese invention
+ they will be mounted on Lorinser fender
+ surely a bit more unique

None of those arguments moves me to one of the sides anyway

 

V8 Compressor it's not even close. Nobody knows who Lorinser is.

 

hhhmmm wonder about putting it in the cove near the top ?

 

BTW: That wagon is awesome.

 

Horrible Photoshop but you get the idea lol

 

little better.....

 

V8 Kompressor all day son

 

OH BTW, the wagon looks killer

 

None. Waaaay cleaner without it.

 

how about none as an option?

Just clean look.?

 

No badges is the go. The beauty of the design is interfered with by badges which after all are just advertising.

 

Your fenders are busy enough that I don’t think you need badges. Mind you, I think most of us do because otherwise the car looks very plain down the side.

But if you have to have them, I agree with putting them in the vent like mrmotoguzzi said.

 

No badge Sir

 

Beautiful car. I would go no badge for sure.

 

I removed my badges on the side and changed them to V6 3.0 Litre, and changed my rear from CLS55 to CLS320, and removed the AMG.

People get really mad.

I'm about to make my license plate "182HP"

 

Holy crap that’s a great looking ride! Lorinser is my vote....or nothing.

 

Badges make it look busy. The fenders do the talking - looks great.

 

I like the V8 compressor inside the cutout, just to stock it up a bit. Great looking car though. Doesn't really need anything.

 

V8 badges in the position you originally posted for me...

 

I was thinking V8 badge at first but now I think no badge will look better.

 

I'm kinda agreeing on the no badge look......... try it for a month or two...

You can always badge it up later...

 

Badges are pretentious imho. Go cleanskin. I'll be getting my E55 or 63 early next year and the first thing I'll do is debadge if not already done. Badges are a magnet for every mediocrity driving ******** boy racer and vandals.

 

This jet doesn't need a propeller

 

Nice! Living in WA that's just the ride for those 3000klm commutes.

 

living in rural Aus, that's what makes the 55 so nice to own.
