Where do you get the badges people mount in the grills? Also, I was wanting to know what milages they are made for, and what cost? Lastly, where are they acquired from?

dealership gives them out free. there is a link in the condensed sticky page to the http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/heritage/events_community/overview

take your vehicle to any mb dealership, and present your mileage form filled out with the miles.

250KM, 500KM, 750KM, 1000000KM and 1000000miles... not sure why they jump to miles on the last one...
anyway, BADGES this link takes you to the official form. just print it, fill it out for each milestone you've reached, and you'll get a nice badge, and certificate, and some advertising stuff in a cool box for each qualification you reach.

the dealership has to sign that your car has the miles.

I have the real thing for all my cars.

Plus I got a 1 000 000 miles badge once before at an estate sale. The car was gone, people forgot about the badge, were going to throw it away.

The price sounds great and everything, but the down side for me is the milage. I had hoped to get a 300, 000 mile badge. Now from this information I will need to go to the 500, ooo KM. That will entail a little longer wait. Can you possibledly post a pic of the window decals Vtech? I was curious if they mirrow the grill badges?

Well, don't need the 250,000 KM badge. One is already hanging out in the grill. It came with the car!

That's NOS now...lol

I need to make new badges

We should make that change.......

I would love to get grille badges but I know for a fact I would be lying as I am sure my cars have 35k more miles on them then it says

__________________

I am probably a year, or more over, to get to the 500,000 KM point. I am kind of excited though, because it will be my first ever taking a vehicle I owned over 300,000 miles. I had always been scared to take one to 100K before ditching it for another one.

Do they have 100, 150, & 200 MPH badges? THAT would be cool in the grille of the S-10 - though I doubt that 200 MPH is gonna happen. 150 is possible though it'll take some work - and more MONEY!!!!!

No clue on the mileage. The 300SD showed 217K miles but the odo was long broken according to the PO.
