New Owner of GLA45

[Jake Phillips]

Hi everyone, I’ve recently purchased my second Mercedes. This being a 2018 GLA45 AMG. I’m just wondering if anybody has removed the rear star emblem as I am changing mine to gloss black to match the rest of the trim? I’ve seen videos online but none seem to be the shape of a GLA45.
Thanks

Welcome, Jake.

Found this, Jake, fairly easy to change.

Have you found one that’s aligned correctly? That one’s leaning to the left...

Thanks everyone! How would you suggest I change it without taking the boot liner off?

Probably, use a small PLASTIC lever and just be careful, also put masking tape around the badge, but you will almost certainly ruin the badge that comes off, I did and I took the lining off.

Welcome Jake- bet that’s fun!
Are you getting any other chrome deletes! If so they can whip that off and either dip or wrap for you

This is what I’m going to try! Can’t see it being a problem, watched this video already. Thank you!

It certainly is fun! I previously had a c250 coupe, this GLA45 is next level though! It already has chrome deletes everywhere, roof rails, window trims etc. I’ve got all the emblems and badges on there way now in gloss black to match everywhere else! Other than the wheels which where done matte black for me
