- E350 CDi AMG Night Premium Plus (Sept 2015) with GAD Tuning re-map. Definitely not double badged.
Evening all... I posted my 'Hello' message in the 'Introduce Yourself' thread just over a month ago.
I have an E350D with AMG styling extras which looks rather lovely, but I was slightly castigated by the badging militia for having both a sports grille AND a bonnet star.
Yes... my car is double badged.
OK, calm down everybody. Settle down. Nobody has been hurt. However, apart from committing a clear badging and forum crime, my wife doesn't like the gunsight on the bonnet.
With the power of Google I found an old thread on this very forum about a chap using a 45mm badge rather than 57mm as it fits nicely into the bonnet recess. The links in the thread don't seem to point to products that exist any more or point to badges that have 'AMG' on them. Now, my car has an AMG styling pack but I would never use that as an excuse to stick an AMG badge on it.
So, I have resorted to scraping around flea-Bay to find something suitable. I ordered a 45mm badge in black for a tenner but not sure if it will be correct.
Anybody got any recent experience of buying a new bonnet badge for a W212?
