It turns out that to fit it, you have to cut a slit in the grill and shave about an inch off a section of the bonnet (hidden by the grill). Although daunting at first, it wasnt too hard to do but I was getting impatient waiting for the paint to dry afterwards so I could get on and finish the job.
Anyway, with this done, the star went on smoothly and I plummed it in to the central locking pump so it now goes up and down using the remote. So not only is my badge safe from vandals but it is also a #### sight easier to see if I have remembered to lock the car. <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

I went down to a local Benz dealer prior to fitting it coz I needed some more of the vacuum piping and I had virtualy every member of staff come over to take a look. Only one chap had ever seen one before and he said that was around ten years ago.
Well chuffed
