DON'T MESS WITH MY MERCEDES!


1967 W110 Universal Wagon, Euro, Turbo Diesel, Tail Fins, 4 Speed Manual Column Shift, A/C
1980 W116 300SD Turbo Diesel, DB479 Walnut Brown, Sunroof, Highly Optioned, 350,000+ Miles

ride around for a week without them and see how you feel. If you need to add one...then add one. One at a time. Its all about what makes you feel good. Very few people actually care about them, My personal opinion is that they do not detract from the car.

Sir, not unless they begin to obstruct air flow - if not, you are entirely good-to-go!

I put mine on the rear of the car. I used a badge bar mount that goes behind the license plate. I got it from Moss Motors for my Triumph but sold the car. Don;t have a mieage badge yet, only 149,000 miles.

Silly question - I'm new to MB's.

Where do you get these badges and what do they represent?

My badges on the rear of my 903 blue '79 300CD are from Germany. The one on the left is a rally badge which are obtained when one attends a car rally which are very popular in Europe. The one on the right is from the Police Athletic League in Berlin. You can find them on eBay doing a search for "car badges". The mileage badges are from MB. You fill out a form and have a MB dealer verify the mileage and they will send you a badge. You can get the form on the MB web site.

I've only used milage badges, which are avail free if you take the car to an MBz dealer and submit the form to corporate HQ in NJ. You get a nice book too!


I've searched for the form to no avail, anyone got a link? Man, I've done this once before, so I know it exists.

The form is on the MB USA site under "classic community".
Here's the link

If you're using grille badges to cover up rust, that's much.

Or if you have a chrome nekkid lady grille badge...

You mean like this?

Hey guys, what have you found to be the most stable way to attach your badges to the grill? I attached mine with a small rubber washer on each post followed by larger metal washers and the lock washer and nut. My soft rubber washer is starting to crack. Any better solutions out there?

I wish I had some of those -- all I have in one for high mileage (mine has over 650K - same engine - new used tranny)...

Where did you find the others??

thanks for the pic..

I used to have a mileage and country badge on my grille but took them out to give the car an cleaner appearance in front.

The 250k km badge started yellowing and the badge separated from the backing plate. Put it on my bookshelf with the other badges (500k km, and 3 other 250k km badges).
