Which color code green? What day was the car painted on? Has it ever been repainted. What color interior, and is it MBTEX or leather? Is that the 722.424 transmission, or 722.434? Are you assuming the same corrected altitude on both of the 0 to 100mph runs? What octane do you use? Synthetic or dino oil? Is WHICH part welded, glued or bolted to the trunk lid, the original or the new one?
Actually the E55 badge would only be 1 digit shorter than a 260E.
Maybe with the Daimler-Chrysler merger, a more appropriate mod whould be to obtain just the "4" from a 400E badge, put it in front of the "260E" badge, remove the 0 and E so it says "426", then kids will come up to you at the traffic lights and say "HEY! That thing got a Hemi in it?!!!"
Also in this case you will still lose 1 digit and also increase your 0 to 100 speeds.
Unless we know a few details like this, there is no way we can help you.
