MB Star

[jamsh]

I have just replaced the bonnet star for the second time and am getting p****d off with it. My local stealership tell me that there is no alternative to replacing the star, with for instance, a flat badge. Is this true and is there a solution to my little problem?

Yes you can, but it will look like a Ford

You might be able to get the g-wagen badge to fit from my ghetto badge thread, but I don't know much about the pre-facelift w124 badge and according to the EPC it has a badge unique to the w124

hi there

all i did was buy a radiator badge for £3 and place it over the hole. i placed a flat metal strip (with a hole in it) on the other side of the bonnet and fixed the two together with a nyloc nut.

so now i have an old faded rad. badge and a brand spanking new rad. badge beside each other........but no hole and no broken star !

cheers

sebastian.

Thanks for the tip Sebastian. I'll try it over the Easter weekend and report back. It sounds exactly what I was looking for.

for that price you could buy two new ones and spend some time polishing the chrome on the grill as well, would look great!

Wire the star up to one of those battery powered electrocutors devices , next time the little scroats try and take it.. a little bit of shock never hurt anyone


I accept no responsibility for any fried vandals as a result of this

Now there is an idea. Have you seen that lightning reaction game from next Dismantle and rewire connecting to badge. I feel a little project coming on.
