I bought a genuine bonnet badge to replace my standing emblem. Now I don't have to worry about some little sh*t snapping mine off. The best bit is that I can swap them back again in a matter of seconds if need be.

Sorry Rungles, I'm not a fan. Anyway you should be spending your hard earned on making the car handle better or go faster, or both!

I'd miss my pretend machine gun sight, it helps me keep my sanity.

I thought it projected a death ray from the star?
Like Rungles, I too gave in and bought a flat badge after some oik in freshers week booted my star off!

Rungles, how easy is it to swap star/flat badges?

It probably does go faster now due to the lower drag coefficient of the flat badge versus the upright star? Very slightly faster

Easy. Pair of my pliers and a twist to remove the star and then the badge just snaps in. It can be taken out again by pinching the mechanism and pushing out. Takes seconds.
I prefer the original proper star too but I'm constantly worried that someone's going to break it so this gives me peace of mind and is easy to swap back if needed.
Bit of a first-world problem I know but hey...

Noooooooooooo........ These look god awful on a 202 imo, go for what is known as a Avanguarde grill, much much better if you look in my photo albums for pics of my old 202 AMG you will see one.

A colleague at work had his 3 pointed star snapped off last week on his W211, he was raging but said he will leave it until he sells car....I just could not leave it like that.....either replace or do as you have and put the flat badge on!
