Maybe so...but I like 'em. Opinions?

Grill badges are a personal thing. some like them some don`t.

Maybe move some to the other side to balance it out some.

I have 2 milage badges and the Meredesshop.com badge I bolt on when going to a GTG. don`t want them getting sand blasted from road debris etc... I like them, wish there was a way to keep them protected besides being in a box most of the year.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

When I had my Volvo mileage badge I put it on the rear of the car by the plate, to save wear/tear.

The two location badges are kinda big, isn't the country one enuf LOL?

Hey it's your ride and your pride, do what makes you happy.

Its your car - if you like 'em keep 'em...

I however would line them up a bit more neatly though!

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

IMO....

Keep the mileage badge and put the other 2 on your tool box. We all know where the car is from.

It is almost like the star itself. They are all over the car. But, some insist on putting some license plate with a giant star on the front bumper. Looks tacky to me.

ride around for a week without them and see how you feel. If you need to add one...then add one. One at a time. Its all about what makes you feel good. Very few people actually care about them, My personal opinion is that they do not detract from the car.

Sir, not unless they begin to obstruct air flow - if not, you are entirely good-to-go!

I put mine on the rear of the car. I used a badge bar mount that goes behind the license plate. I got it from Moss Motors for my Triumph but sold the car. Don;t have a mieage badge yet, only 149,000 miles.

Silly question - I'm new to MB's.

Where do you get these badges and what do they represent?
