Removing badges on side strips

[tanlod]

Hi,

I've just purchased a new C-class 2004 model. Has anyone removed the model badge from the side strips. I'm told by my dealer if this is done it will leave two holds on the strips.

Welcome to the forum.

Stick some AMG or Brabus badges over the holes, if that's the case !

Fuzzer may have some knowledge of this and be able to confirm whether the W203 model has holes there. !!

Can someone explain why when I fist bought my Merc I had no intention of doing anything to it, now I'm looking at wheels, tyres, suspension and even thinking about putting a Brabus or AMG badge on it ehh?????????
Sorry to drift of thread

The days of buying a nice car to drive around in, as it was built, are gone. I got my first MB, joined the forum and since then have bought another. Mods? well we have to do something to our cars, as in my case, its so reliable that I get bored just cleaning it. Have to have something to do with it and the occasional Mod does show we care and it enhances our prespective of the "Breed".

Mine just came off and are stuck on with double sided tape on my 2003 MY W203

If it does leave holes , just buy a new pair from the dealer or just stick it back on again with double sided tape...

I doubt very much if mercedes are going to change a design on the badges that works soo well

LEt us know how you get on

I' like the debadging option - nice/clean look i.e. trunk lid etc. apart from the Mercedes star embelm...

Whilst my W203 saloon was being built I had just discovered that the side strips are a factorty "delete" option... by then I was told my my Dealer that it was too late to change the specification and I was reluctant to remove the badges after as I wanted a nice clean look... - next car (if I do get the face lift...) - I`ll go for the side badge strip factory "delete" option...

There are no marks or residue when you remove the side stickers or the rear ones

Do you use a hair drier to soften up the adhesive?

(not that you would know about putting extra badges on )

Nah , they arent on that tight I managed to take mine off with my fingers.

For the rear badges they recommend hairdryer and some fishing line or dental floss to slip behind the badge to work them off .
