Bonnet Badge, flat or upright

[MattCox]

Found myself in two minds about this when i saw the upright badge on a friends coupé.

Would like to get a few peoples opinions on how you think it looks before i go changing my flat badge. Please treat this as a "HOT or NOT" thing.


Thanks, Matt

Not hot - flat/smooth = good

NOT hot - flat badges only on a coupe!

 

[kjay]

Flat.

.

yea flat badge looks great on the coupe , and IMHO on the 203/204

 

[gbjeppm]

On the coupe flat definitely.

Doesn't suit all cars though the W208 looks right with the gunsight!

Thanks lads,

I think i will just get a new flat badge as the paint is a little chipped on the old one.

Where in Ireland are you Shorty??

 

[shorty]

Hey Mat im in Dundalk , are you from Ireland too ?

all 3 of my w124 coupes had upright sticky out badges

flat ones are boring

i drive a merc and want people to see that badge

 

[MattCox]

@Shorty, yeah, i'm down in Waterford.

I had upright on my old CLK 320 (pre-facelift) but have flat on the two new ones.
I prefer flat now, looks sleeker - as had been generally pointed out , on the coupe 's

Personally I feel if you have a star on the grille then a star on the bonnet is over the top.....no star on the grille then a "gunsight" on the bonnet is ok....

if the car has a big star in the grille then flat, if no grilled star and just slats, then gunshot

EDIT - just noticed crockers has posted exactly the same as me

Thats a very good point, never thought about it like that!
