It may have been a fluke, but last year I saw one sold for $100 on eBay.

Actually, it is very well made and heavy, so the first thought that came to my mind was "Do I really want to put this on the grill where the bugs, rocks and general road dirt will mess it up". I would ask for around $100 also, if I was going to sell it.

All and all, a nice little program that Mercedes-Benz has.

do you only get those if you continue to get your car serviced at a MB dealer? I would be up for that badge within a year or so, just wondering.

No questions about where your car was serviced and etc., also you do not have to be the original owner, the form does ask how many of the miles you put on the car. You have to take to car to a MB dealer where they will check the miles, maybe the VIN number and sign the form, that is it

its flat with two screws 2" long

since I have a 2.6, the fans will hit the screw bolts easy even if I trim them.


Hey bgoin,
what a coincidence, I got mine yesterday as well

The back has two metal studs about 2 inches long, with two rubber washers attached at the base of the badge, two nuts and two nylon rectangle washers/spacers, which are designed to help from damaging the grill (I think).

A word about the two booklets/magazines (Classic Collection 2004 and Classic Collection 2005) that came with the award (I have the Classic Collection 2002 issue also, that I got from a MB dealer that had it with the free sells literature area). These booklets have many many excellent illustrations of scaled MB models that you can purchase, like the 2005 issue has the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16, Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.0 and the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 EVO II., also they have many other MB related iems. A very good read.

Maybe that is a good reason to not mount the budge. Maybe modify it and use it as one of the license plate screws?

MB must have a computer "Batch" program that kicks them out once a month.
