Need a favour from 107 SL owners please

[P.Nott]

I have had the car resprayed but, stupidly, didn't measure the position of the chromed '500 SL' badge on the rear of the boot before peeling it off. I have a new badge to stick on but could somebody please be kind enough to measure the exact position on the bootlid for me please, from the lower edge of the bootlid to the bottom of the badge and from the left hand side of the bootlid to the far left of the badge.

Hoping somebody can help and thanks in advance.

Can anybody help please?

On my 380, which may be different, but doubt it it's 50mm in from the shut line to the edge of the bar and 40mm up from the boot edge( inc the chrome trim)
Though you should have holes for the badge?

[P.Nott]

No holes on the facelift models. The badge is simply stuck on with double sided tape.

Many thanks for the measurements. Is the dimension up from the lower edge of the bootlid, to the very bottom of the badge or to where the actual letters start, if you see what I mean?

[Humper]

Better idea that, mine's leaked water into the boot.

Measurement was from the edge of the boot to the bottom of the bar under the letters as shown

That's great. Thanks very much for the info. Your car looks nice by the way.
