Twisted:
What is your home country? I am to stupid to recognize the flag!
The C 280 you describe has the same engine that the W204 ('08) C 300 does in the US. The SLK 280 available in the US (and other countries) uses the same basic engine. as your C 280. But for '09, the SLK 280 gets the more appropriate name of SLK 300 (it does have a 3 liter engine).
On the other hand, we in the US do not get the SLK 200, and I think most of the rest of the world does.
As I have an SLK 280 ,which is not an accurate designation (has a 3 liter engine, should be SLK 300), I would debadge if anybody else in my part of the world was debadging.
DanSLK is correct about ending up with a paint mismatch under a removed badge on a car that has had a chance to get any fading at all. So debadging is best done when the car is brand new. With Mercedes' paint and clear coat materials and methods, there is absolutely no way to polish out the color mismatch. |
