| V8 C Pillar Emblems? Hey guys, Well, I was looking around eBay today, and found some cool "Gunmetal Black" or Chrome Mercedes-Benz V8 Emblems that I could put on the C-Pillar of my S500. I kinda like them, and I am thinking of putting either the gunmetal black, or the chrome V8 Emblems on the S500. They are not too expensive at all, and I do like them. I remember ychachad did the same thing to his S420, and I really liked the outcome. I am posting pics of the outcome of his car, as well as the Chrome V8 Emblem, and the Black emblem. AND, for those of you who prefer OE. Don't worry, only the best for the W140. This is Mercedes-Benz OE. Although, this emblem is from the newer generation of Mercedes-Benz. (W220, W203, W463, etc.) By The Way: ychachad, where are you? You registered, and posted a little bit, but haven't visited since.  I miss not seeing you around. PLEASE VOTE ON WHETHER OR NOT I SHOULD GET THEM, AND INSTALL THEM ON MY CAR, AND/OR POST YOUR COMMENTS HERE. I WANT TO HEAR YOUR OPINIONS GUYS.

I'd go for the silver (If I had a V8) my only concern is that the V8 on that car looks a little too big but it might just be the photo but then from memory his came from a lexus. So if they are about the same size as the V12 I say DO IT! | |

So if they are about the same size as the V12 I say DO IT! yea, these is the same V8 emblems like the picture below. About the same size as V12 emblems. Thanks for your thoughts NZ Benz. Yea, I like them as well, and I think I will get them. my main concern though, it aligning them properly.  I always hate things like that. i always get nervous.  pic of V8 Emblem in comparison to other MB emblems (Emblems.jpg) Attachments ---------------- Emblems.jpg (88KB - 1 downloads) | ||

| RE: V8 C Pillar Emblems? NZ Benz - 9/16/2006 8:45 PM What I would do is get a ruler and a wax pen and draw a line to line them up with a point of reference like the window sill. that's a good idea. I think I will do that. THANK YOU NZ BENZ! I never even thought of that. I think i may have to do the same thing to a real S600, and have it perfect. Maybe someone with an S600 will be able to help. I think I am going to post this same thread on BW, because there is a lot of people. | ||

| RE: V8 C Pillar Emblems? well, I was alerted that I could also put them on the front fender. What do you guys think? Front Fender? or C-Pillar? I can't decide  | ||

| RE: V8 C Pillar Emblems? I don't like either. But I had to choose I would choose an inconspicuous spot on the fender like they do for the 7-Series BMW. The C-Pillar just looks so weird IMO from an outsider's point of view.

| Re: V8 C Pillar Emblems? Photoman - 9/19/2006 2:18 PM Yeah. That V12 badge on the 600 is kind of weird on the c pillar. so... what do you think. C pillar or fender To be honest, I kinda don't feel like getting them anymore. Because then people see the V8 badges either on the fender, or the c-pillar, they might think that I am putting a V8 badge on my car, and they might be thinking that I have an S320... (not that S320's are bad...) And the more I think about it, a lot of people will think that putting v8 emblems on the S500 is like putting an S600 badge on the back. Aww, | ||
