I think that looks great, and anyone angry about it must have no sense of humor at all. I have considered doing the same.

'''smart''' (short for Swatch Mercedes ART)

Since this was an origianal design by Swatch how about replacing the smart logo with a Swatch instead.

It really is a smart - if it was a Mercedes, then it would already have a Mercedes logo on it. I don't see Scion people take the emblem off saying its a Toyota...
hmmm. nice pic youve got yourself. do you enjoy getting all dressed up and going out fri nite or is it better- in your sweats and not made up and then going out?

im just having fun in my own way, and trying to put a smile on the faces of those who know better.

I know a business that had one of the first cars here $30,000 for a Mercedes Benz Passion the vehicle was brought over by a Mercedes dealer from Europe as a special for this company. It has the solid circle with star in the middle and blue leaf design ring around it (ie: post 52 here) The colour is an extremely bright green paint job. There second car is a Smart Cabriolet with a matching green wrap.

My thought on the matter is: yes. At least with the 450, the engine was a Mercedes design and it said so on the intake manifold. Putting the "Powered by M-B" badge on would just let the people following you know that you don't know squat about your own car!

My car has M-B logos on the license plate frome (the dealer frames the car was delivered with) and a MBCA (Mercedes-Benz Club of America) sticker on the rear 1/4 window. I'm only in the MBCA because of the B 200 I own.

The Daimler product windshield sticker would be far more appropriate.
