Hi all,

As the title suggests, im looking to do an emblem conversion for my mercedes. Some little runt(s) decided it was not worth being on my car anymore and decided to simply "take it off".

Ive been "googling" as such and come across conversions from standing star emblems to flush wreath emblems, this is along the lines of what im looking to do.

I know the job in itself is not too difficult, a case of unhinging the original emblem and popping in the new. Its the new emblem im just having difficulty with, as in, which one to actually replace it with. I would love some clarification on which emblem would actually work as a suitable replacement. I dont want to buy something from ebay or alike and find it doesnt fit or rattles about!

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Im sure you can all understand how frustrating it is when the star just gets ripped off by some little s@#t!

Many thanks!

Had the same thing happen to me. I found this seller on ebay selling the star pretty cheap I got mine for £6.50 ( item no 221795037822 ) fits perfect and mine was just a plain silver base ring on my 2008 C180 K and these have the wreath and Mercedes benz in blue stamped on worth a look at that price

Thanks for your reply! I will have a look into this. I guess the only major problem that im gunna face is finding an emblem that is the right size for the job. Will be quite frustrating to buy one and then find its not "flush".

Thanks for the item no!

On the Star that folds down the hole is very much larger than most flat badges, plus the flat badges are held in with pegs in nylon bushes.
