Maybe so...but I like 'em. Opinions?

Grill badges are a personal thing. some like them some don`t.

Maybe move some to the other side to balance it out some.

I have 2 milage badges and the Meredesshop.com badge I bolt on when going to a GTG. don`t want them getting sand blasted from road debris etc... I like them, wish there was a way to keep them protected besides being in a box most of the year.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

When I had my Volvo mileage badge I put it on the rear of the car by the plate, to save wear/tear.

The two location badges are kinda big, isn't the country one enuf LOL?

Hey it's your ride and your pride, do what makes you happy.

I sprayed mine with clearcoat over a year ago, they still look new.

They look silly and tacky on a car that needs nothing extra clipped on it.

I say keep adding badges that are meaningful to you until engine cooling is affected

For those who want to look silly and tacky, here is where you can get new grille badges:

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

I have an old 88 560 SEL with 23k on it, a school teacher in East Hampton who drove it a half mile back and forth to school from 1988-2005 I got out East on Long Island where I live where people are so rich they give away their old cars, I paid 2,000 grand, I paid 200$ in 98 for a barn find 1990 Saab with 890 miles on it, the brand new Pirelli tires were worth more than a grand, and they still had the little rubber hairs, as a Mason out east on a big job in 1995. got the couple was going through a massive divorce that I could hear them cursing each other because she hired a PI and her husband was cheating, this is true, one day after yelling she handed me a title and said get it the F off my lawn, and that how I got my first Porsche because it was a low mile 1988 944 Turbo S Coupe (951) not joking...I'm a collector just like my father was who left me a 1985 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe and a low-mile 1993 Mercedes-Benz 500E, there like brand new, but I also have a Saab Convertable, a JEEP, and an in storage with the other cars the car my dad bought in the 80s, a 1984 Mercedes-Benz 380-Class 380SE, which we drove the f out of, even on a farm track , we drove it as an off-road dirt rally car and that has 6 badges...and I love the way they look, one is a blue Mercedes-Benz North America,2 are 100,000 and 200,000 badges, ones USAF and one is Vietnam Vet, and a Germany Eagle Grille Badge, which is spooky because from WW2 to today there are a lot of German Mercedes-Benzs driving around that have Nazi swastikas on the Hood Ornament Mounted Star Logo from the factory to Nazi swastikas Grill badges and SS badges still on the road...

Its your car - if you like 'em keep 'em...

I however would line them up a bit more neatly though!

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

IMO....

Keep the mileage badge and put the other 2 on your tool box. We all know where the car is from.

It is almost like the star itself. They are all over the car. But, some insist on putting some license plate with a giant star on the front bumper. Looks tacky to me.
