Badged or De-Badged

[Barryh]

The SLK 350 has arrived but debadged.Not my choice.

A.should I get it badged so as others do not think it is a 200,especially with my wife`s plate on it?

B.Keep it as a wolf in sheeps clothing?

C.Get it badged so as to show its strength?

Vain I know,but.....

UK drivers tend to debadge lower spec cars.

The rest of Europe tend to debage Higher spec cars...

If it were me I'd leave it...I'm firmly in the no badge camp, I just like the clean uncluttered lines of the car, I simply don't give a monkey's what other people think I'm driving. I know what it is and that's all that matters really.

Badge it! you have the top spec (apart from the 55) show it off!

Leave it debadged. Keep people guessing, much more subtle

Badge it. (I would leave it debadged if it was a 200).

Leave it as delivered.

You missed an option - "up-badge"

I'd personally leave it as it is for now, and mull it over.

I debadged my Vito (which genuinely is a wolf in sheep's clothing) because there was a lot of lettering on both sides of the dark blue tailgate and it looked too fussy IMO. But my SL just says "SL500" on one side, and being chrome on silver it's not too obstrusive. So I've left it.

points A and C are the same! Badge it as people would think its an 2.0........... or it actually a 2litre?

 

[jaymanek]

I like mine debadged...
I even tinkered with the idea of getting a magnetic C180 badge to make people go when they see it take off.

 

[BlackC55]

De-badged.

Do you think you could stick a badge on perfectly as the factory would do it?

Its not that easy.
