Ive got it now,Its off the mk1 SLK but its not behind the door its in front of the drivers door (ie,towards the front of the car)

Sorry to p**s on your bonfire matey - MK1 SLK's had no external (factory fitted) Karmann badges at all. Only badges fitted in front of the doors were "Kompressor" badges

 

Badge must have originated from a different vehicle

Doh :)

 

Well I emailed a guy off another forum that I know of who works for Mercedes-Benz parts counter at a dealership.. he doesn't actually know me, but I know he works for em.. so I hope he gets back to me with a little info. Though I have thrown him astray by jumping the gun and telling him it was the C Class Cabrio... :(

You could always have just asked me Jim :roll:

Didn't realise Karmann made the SLK too, you learn something everyday!

Im sticking by my prediction,i never mentioned that ive seen a Karmann badge on one but-im 99% sure its the very same make and model and the exact spot i mentioned,somebody has replaced the Kompressor badges with the Karmann one.

Doh.. well I didn't think it would be a GSF stocked part to be honest.. trim and such pieces would be more of a dealer part? :)

I worked for Mercedes for 13 years - just been trying to get hold of their technical manager (friend of mine) on the phone - looks like he's on holiday though :(

 

Mercedes tend to view their own reputation as being better than anybody elses & it is highly unlikely that this "Karmann" badge originated from one of their vehicles.

See, I didn't know that you had those kinds of contacts, or that kind of history :)

 

Sorry! :D

thers no saying it's even off a merc....

 

as i tried to say, i was lookin thro a gallery of pics and this one came up, on the same page with mostly the merc i also posted. it coulda been a badge off another marque altogether

 

it could be a concept as it was the NEC motorshow :roll:

Karmann built all of the A208 chassis CLK cabriolets - I just don't remember seeing a Karmann badge on them though. I'll check on Monday & if they did badge them, I'll get the part number. 8)
