Noooo! There's nowt wrong with the Clio badge! What's all this badge removal about? (My daily is a Merc cabriolet with badges removed on advice of Merc salesman, but still don't get it!)
I used to sell Mercs and never advised people to do it - they only did when it was like a C180 Kompressor because it was the cheapest of the 'Sport' range! A Merc with no badge is just weird IMO.
