Debadging / Rebadging

[ForestAthlete]

Hello All,

My MB dealer purchased E-class estate 2014 has been debadged possibly by the previous owner. Can I ask for it to be re-badged FOC?
If not, any idea how much the model and BLuetec badges would cost to purchase and fit?

Thanks

A car I was buying at MB Tonbridge had no badges, the salesman got some and fitted them FOC before collection.

Will make it heavier though.

those were the first things i took off when I got the car.

Badges are probably £50 ish and the c at the end of bluetec always comes off when it gets caught on a sponge or cloth while cleaning, I’d leave them off, looks nicer.

It was also the first thing I did to my new to me 280 CLK.
Lighter and easier to clean

Have you taken delivery of the car? If not and you haven't yet paid any money then make it a condition of sale but if you have paid for the car already then i doubt you will get anywhere with the dealer.

And of course you would be paying MB to have their technology advertising to be added to your car. Needs to be free or don't bother.

id get the salesman to get them put on, if you have collected it already they wont do it.

i will get round to re-badging mine at somepoint

You can ask for anything...

I'm curious why you want to re-fit? Most people go the other way. You know what you car is why does it have to tell everyone else. I think tailgate gates and boot lids these days can look very busy with all the letters and numbers. Off is easier to clean and nicer lines. Just my opinion.

Please tell me you're going to badge the taxi as an E220 CDI?

 

[st13phil]

Will make it heavier though.

And slower. But only in the shade.



I'll get my coat...

I also think badges off look nicer, so I wouldn't bother about even asking for it. I am planning to take mines off very soon, looks more incognito lol

 

[niknakmb]

Badges off is fine, some people take them off to disguise a low spec car and some to disguise an amg car. But I just think it looks better, they are easy to debadge after if you don’t like it. I’ve debadged loads of them.

My c320 came with the badges removed. Not one for rebadging cars, but since I wasn’t the one that removed the badges, I can happily live with them not being there (and in all honesty it does look better).

I noticed the other day that Halfrauds sell chrome self adhesive letters rather like the boot badge style.

I thought about de-badging mine and getting creative with a new set of letters. Any suggestions?
