[W126 Coupe] Fw: Trunk badge

[Louis Miller]

I purchased my 1990 SEC recently, without the number/letters on the back. However, at a certain angle, I could see where they had been set at the factory since there was a slightly different shading of the paint. Fortunately, the former owner who had taken them off still had them and I was able to reapply them.

If your car hasn't been repainted, and maybe even if it has, you might be able to do the same thing.  

If you want to give me an address, I can send you a picture of the placement. I'm afraid my computer skills are lacking in the emailing department.

Last weekend I bought a 560 SEC, smoke silver with mushroom hide. First registered Feb 1989 (build Nov 1988). 

Unfortunately it's missing its boot badge... A new one is only £12 from the local stealership, but I need to know the exact location on the boot. 

Having looked at pictures, it seems that the 'C' (in SEC) is located on a vertical line above the inside edge of the tailamp... is this correct ?

Secondly, how many mm is the underscore (the chrome underline, that the letters sit upon) above the top of the chrome boot strip ?

I'm looking for precise measurements.

Many thanks,

Fred.
