Just an idea.... - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I think we need MercedesShop.com bumper stickers!

Yesterday while driving in Austin, I saw a 83ish, 300D, straight body, no smoke at the tail pipe, pretty quick off the lights, silver paint with the standard crappy clearcoat virus....looked and acted like a good running machine. It was over on Howard Lane, heading towards I35......I wondered if the driver was a regular at this site. If he had "ID", I would have made an effort to meet and greet!

It occurred to me a tastefully designed bumber sticker would be a nice way to ID members and direct interested drivers to this site. NOW, this could backfire! Like the time I told EVERYBODY about this great new Mexican joint.....now it's so busy you can't get a table!

Now, honestly, are you really going to put a bumper sticker on the back of the W123??

I wouldn't put any bumper stickers on my car unless it was anti-bush and was magnetic. Sorry

Bill and Donnie used to give them out at MB Autowerks.

Not a bumper sticker actually but a window sticker.

A little window sticker might not be that bad of an idea. A MS within a circle or something like that.

"TASTEFULLY DESIGNED" are the key words! More ID than ad kinda thing.

And, yeah, my car has a bumper sticker....an Aggie Dad proudly writing checks since 1859 thing. My daughter stuck it on there...looks like crap, maroon against blue-green....bottom line, I love my girl more than this car!

Maybe something small in the rear window would be better. Like the wrench with the Mercedes sign in it.

I also would not put a bumper sticker on my car.

That's the sticker I have. It is the same as the mercedesshop.com logo at the top of the page.

I bet Bill Wood could still some. He may still have plenty of the originals.

I was thinking how it looks up in the address bar. The wrench logo without the handle.
I think it's a great idea. I pass Mercedes a lot and I always wonder.

I have a biodiesel window sticker that looks good. It's subtle enough. I have friends that took many months to notice it. Something like this would look good in a window. Maybe a bit smaller though. I envision the Mercedes Shop wrench about 3" long and and 1-1/2" tall or so in the bottom right of the rear window.
This particular one sticks on the inside of the car.

I like that one. Have same one. I must admit, I'm partial to biofuel users.
i did not shop around the decal market . Needastickers prices seemed reasonable and products are nice and i love how he promotes biodiesel overtly on his frontpage

.

(shew, that disclaimer felt like an advertisement agian sorry

)

If anyone wants to start this please do. Don't let it go the way of the MBshop fender covers, MBshop apparel, etc..

Don't forget the grille badge. I still want one.

Actually they made these in the past, they were static cling windsheild stickers. They look just like the wrench logo in the upper left hand corner of your screen.

I have two one on each MB...

I just got a sticker from needasticker (biodiesel with recycle symbol) and I'm trying to figure out where to put it. I thought about the rear glass of my TD like the one above, but I was concerned about putting it over the defroster lines. I figure it would be difficult to remove with out damaging the lines, but then again I guess I don't plan on removing it.

Anyways I got the green letters, which would work on my body but I guess the white ones show up better on glass - oh well.

I'm not a fan of plastering one's car with stickers but think tasteful biodiesel stickers are a good idea if you're running it. Promotes the idea, and might get someone stuck behind you in traffic to think about energy issues. Plus it shows solidarity with other do-gooders like yourself!
