Wanted - 420SL badge

[Moo75x]

Hi, new member here - had a 1986 420sl for a few years now but its currently in a state of restoration and one thing I need is another boot badge. My other went to the chrome platers but turns out its not really metal and they cant plate it. Does anyone happen to have one laying around in their garages? Thanks

If restoring, fill the 2 small holes and have no badge.
The first thing I did to CLK, easy job, they were plastic stick on.
Or how about 3D printing?

I really want it to go back on - in fact I dont think there are holes anyway. I have the old badge but need it chrome plating and painting but then figured trying to source a replacement would look better................

Things don't need to be metal to be chrome plated these days....even plastic can be chromed by those with the right gear.

i have seen a couple of those places but struggling to get any response from UK based companies - there was a place on Car SOS and I am hoping they will get back to me soon
