Mercedes Tristar badges & wheel caps

Howdy all
Check your local Mercedes dealer for the badges and wheel caps (if you REALLY want to do this to your smart)?

The badges attach via bolts from behind the panel (not simple "stick ons" like most badges) so it will require DRILLING?

The wheel caps are a simple "tap on/off" deal.
Take your wheel off, tap out the smart wheel cap (from the BACK side using a piece of wood) take the cap into your Mercedes dealer parts counter and they should be able/willing to sell you 4 tristar caps in the same size
(I THINK it is a "C" class size?)
Then (using a RUBBER mallet) tap the new cap on (from the FRONT).
Do that three more times and your done?

Again, do you REALLY want to do this to a smart?
