The badges are available from the dealer on back order and they are very cheap. However they are difficult to apply in a straight line: Kompressor is--obviously--10 separate letters and if I remember you can't put them on all at once. When I had them re-fitted to the wings of our SLK230k after a little encounter with a tree it took the body shop about four attempts and they still werem't at the correct height (I take it your badge was on the bootlid). Why would anyone want to steal 10 metal letters? It's not as if they can even be re-used since they get all bent up when taken off. And it would take an age to get them off. Surely de-badged is better anyway; I gather on the domestic market just about all cars are de-badged, perhaps BenzNL can advise.
