Which Badge Do You Need?
- Tailgate badge — the model lettering badge on the boot lid (e.g. "C63", "A45s"). The single most common upgrade, swapping factory chrome for gloss black.
- Grille badge — the star badge mounted in the front grille itself. Sold separately so owners can match a black grille badge to a chrome or black surround.
- Front grille star — the larger bonnet-mounted or grille-integrated star, included as an option within the Black Badge Packages.
- Black Badge Package — bundles the tailgate badge, boot star and (optionally) the front grille star into one order for a consistent de-chrome look.
With vs Without the Grille Star
Without Front Grille Star (£59–£155)
Covers the tailgate badge and boot star only. Best for owners who want to keep their factory chrome grille star, or who plan to order the grille badge separately.
With Front Grille Star (£98–£210)
Adds the front grille-mounted star badge to the package, giving a fully matching black finish front and rear in a single order — usually better value than buying the grille badge separately afterwards.
All badges are premium aftermarket styling components designed for accurate fitment on genuine Mercedes mounting points, and are not genuine Mercedes-Benz parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Mercedes black badges cost in the UK?
Single tailgate badges start at £15. The grille badge alone is £59. Full Black Badge Packages run £59–£155 without the grille star, or £98–£210 with it included.
Can I fit Mercedes badges myself?
Yes — badges use the factory adhesive mounting points, so most owners fit them at home in a few minutes. Professional fitting is available if you'd prefer it done for you.
Will a black badge fit my exact Mercedes model?
Dedicated badges are available for A35, A45/A45s, C43, C63/C63s (W205) and CLA35/CLA45s (C118) — check the price table above for your model.
What's the difference between the grille badge and the Black Badge Package?

Are these genuine Mercedes-Benz parts?
No — all badges are premium aftermarket styling components designed for accurate fitment on genuine Mercedes-Benz mounting points.
