See: Mercedes Service 001-450-68-02 revision C(1) "Badge Placement Instructions" [1994 and up] or 001-450-68-02 revision B(3) "Badge Placement Directions" [before 1994].

And if you believe that, I really want to sell you a car or two and a bridge. Seriously, I've seen badges placed all over the grille, doesn't seem to be a standard. Use a place that you like.

Note that the securing screws are rather long; make sure they don't protrude through and hit something as the hood goes up and down. Shorten the screws or move the badge. I had that problem with my '85 300D.

For security, I always double-nut the screws on the inside of the grille. Slows down the thieves.
