Sometime I see big badge on grille and some of them have standard badge on top (from 2007 model onward) what is the difference ?

The big badge on grille look better (more sportier)



Standard one

The badge within the grille is the Sport model, whereas the trad Merc rad and bonnet badge refer to the Elegance model.

No doubt at all that the two could be interchanged if you so wished.

As said the SE and Elegance models have the 'traditional' Merc grille and the sport the big badged one. In Europe they are still doind an Avantgarde model line that has just the grille and a standard bumper, so it could well be an easy job to interchange them.

the white one shows amg body styling, hence a different grill. would be an optional extra.

Matt is absolutely correct - SE and Elegance have the traditional grill and the Sport model (which has the AMG bodystyling as standard) gets the new grill.

You can actually buy the grill and bonnet star through MB accessories if you want the look on the SE / Elegance.
