Very nice. I have the 250K and 500K badges on my 240D as well. What is the gold one on the left?

That is an impressive combination, TWO high mileage badges, though, amazingly, it is not totally uncommon for Mercedes Benz W123 and W126 diesels to acheive the mileage that give you the rights to request them.

You can now go on towards getting the third high mileage badge for your car.

You should sign up for the next run of the Mercedes Shop Forum badges when they are made next year. I bought one, it is of Sterling quality, heavy and jewel like finish. Just beautiful. One would look good on the car.

Your car looks excellent with the US bumpers and Eurolights without the US headlight wipers. It is an excellent looking and very functional set up.

I guess the German license plate on front is legal in your state; in many, that require front and rear plates, it would not be, and you could get a ticket for that.

A quick peek at the calculator, and I quickly realize that all of my 3 Benzes qualify for the 250k award. I suppose I will have to see about getting mine.

Congrats, vw!

Eventually, I'll get around to obtaining the badges for our 300D. I only wish the current versions were as nicely made as they were years ago.

I do wonder just how you got the car that close to the wall. I'd swear that it looks as if the passenger mirror is actually touching it!
