Marco Polo badge/letters for tailgate

[woodenheart]

Hi, We just bought a 2019 Marco Polo, but there is no 'Marco Polo' logo on the rear. I was thinking of buying chrome adhesive letters. Can anyone suggest quality chrome letters or knows if a Mercedes dealership would order them.

Rather than buy random adhesive letters, why not just pop into your local MB dealer and order the real thing?
Oh, and welcome to the forum by the way

Thanks, but I was just asking for advice and if anyone had ordered the ‘real thing’

I've not ordered myself but I would definitely go for OEM from your dealer rather than non-MB if it were mine

Thank you. We didn’t buy our Marco Polo from a MB Dealer. So when I called a local MB dealer, they weren’t very helpful. I can’t find anything from MB to order online.

Welcome - Unhelpful dealers are common unfortunately. Wonder what happened to the letters on a 1 yr old vehicle? Does it have the round silver gas system sticker which is usually by the numberplate? Agree that its best to get the real thing, phone around other locations and get them posted.

I am guessing that they were deliberately removed as a 'debadge' option similar to other MB and other cars. No idea why. Maybe the original owner just plain didn't like them. Good point about the sticker; that could indicate a resprayed tailgate

My first thoughts were that the tailgate had been resprayed. There would be no point in de-badging if you have an awning. Mine doesn’t have gas stickers btw.

My sticker is telling me to get it checked!

I will be asking for mine to be debadged when it arrives. If you can wait until next June I’ll mail u a bag of letters

Why would you want to debadge it? .... or are you just joking

I was going to say the same thing!

Nope. And I’ll remove the Westfalia stickers from the roof too.

I’m surprised Westfalia want to put their name on the roof bearing in mid the problems they are having.
The transfer may be under the lacquer— good luck in getting it off. I suppose we are lucky it‘s not the large star Westfalia put on their own campers.

My transfer on my replacement roof has definitely been applied over the lacquer. It would be easy to remove

Hi I removed the badges from my old MP because I had some interest from the local thieves , but sold it because of a few issues meanly the roof , reg ended in OKO and I am sure it went to Scotland

 

[BrianR]

Hi all, just jumping in and ask if anyone managed to order a new gas sticker the silver circle one next to the number plate? I’ve just had my tail gate repaired and lower half painted but they had to remove the sticker.
Will call Mercedes tomorrow and see if they can order a new one.

Hi, I think that could be the one we bought in Darlington. Can you tell me what issues you had? We haven’t found any problems yet.
Thanks

The vehicle needs a new roof if you contact Mercedes of Teesside they have one ready to fit for you the other problems where leisure battery would never fully charge and the other was rear seat but think that sorted now

Hi, thanks for letting us know. Mercedes in Hamilton are repairing the rear seat and fitting the new Marco Polo badge in January. The leisure battery seems to fully charge ok. We can't see anything wrong with the roof, (although may need to get ladders to look at it properly) but it opens and closes fine. Can you tell me what the problem was.
Thanks
