Proper placement is in the front grille.

I don’t know if this is the correct location but my 300 D came with a 250,000 km badge located on the driver’s side (LHD) top of the grill. I placed the 500,000 km badge I got recently directly below the first badge.

There is a form that you fill out, and go to your local MB dealer so that they can confirm your mileage. You send this form to MB USA in Montvale, NJ.

The first one is 250,000 km.

What if you had to install a used cluster and the odo now reads 383897kms instead of the original 850000km or something? I'm in that boat. Do you have to have a completed log book and all services done at the dealer?

Congrats- do we have pics of the proper badge placement? I have one for the 560 SL and keep it in the box unless there is a special occassion. I had one for the 420 SEL and put it on the upper right part of the grill.

Does the VIN go into the part where they ask for a serial number?

I just put the VIN; they know what to do with it

Just passed 155K miles few days ago and bumped into this post, was a nice co-incidence

I filled out the form and am going to dealer next week.
