Hi All,

Just a quick one.

I have just purchased an E350 sport which I like rather a lot. I didn't like the front grill so have replaced that and I have also replaced the standard star with one of these:

Mercedes flat bonnet badge Carlsson wheel centre caps - set of 4 [ABD2-212] - £25.99 : CKS Performance

It doesn't fit flush with the bonnet which is really annoying so wanted to see if anyone knows anything I can do to sort?

Having done some web searching it looks like most of these types of replacement badges are too big and need to be 44mm and I cant find anything that will sort out the problem. There is a guy on the US MB website than hand makes and sells them but they are very expensive and he only has AMG badges left (I don't like AMG badges going on non AMG cars!!).

So any thoughts?

Thanks!!
 
Hi. Why don't you go down to the local dealer and buy one, and get them to fit for you - which they are likely to do for free. These badges do fit properly if they're the right ones, and they may cost a little more from the dealer but you will get piece of mind. Just a suggestion. Would like to see a pic of the car ŵhen it's done.
 
It says it fits the W212 E class on the advert but it doesn't.

The place I bought mine from said that this was the only one that Merc provide and that it was right. Apparently I can return it if I am not happy (funny that it isnt the part but me being fussy!!).



Don't know if you've seen this one, or if indeed it is suitable, but he does have the W212 in his list. Might be worth asking him.

I will give them a call and see if they do one. Hope so as it looks much better with the new grill! I put one of these on it:

Part no I have for this part is A2128170316 Its actually for the Avantgarde version which is not marketed in the UK Unfortunately I have no data on dimensions to check for you.
 
Thanks!

If it isnt marketed in the UK can I get it?

You may still be able to get it from your UK dealer- certainly worth asking. Unfortunately the Merc EPC doesn't state the size. Otherwise direct German suppliers are a possibility - just key in the number in Google. You must check dimensions first before ordering- maybe by E mail - most Germans have good English.

MB Oxford had one and fitted it to my facelift W212 so they are available.

Thanks, I will check it out next week.

I'll try to photo it tomorrow - it fits perfectly. I think it's the same part as per the per-facelift W212 - I'll see if I can find the part number of mine too.
 
Thanks, look forward to seeing it!

Here's a couple of photos - I'll try to find the box and part number later.

Can I please ask if the star grille can be supplied from an MB dealer or if this is only available from a third party?
 
You're quite right - I totally misread the first message. In that case I have the badge that I replaced with the star somewhere. I'll dig it out...
 
I have it on my car and it looks really good. Quality seems fine to me as well!

Did you say you actually have this on your car? W212 E Class CL Style Sport grille Black and Chrome W212 E Class CL Style Sport grille Black and Chrome [***212] - £104.99 : CKS Performance

If so can I ask what you think of it, is is a quality part. I'm thinking of getting it myself for my w212.

thank you
