I de-badged my '09 and it looked too plain, even with the chrome grille (it is black/black), so I put a Mercedes logo where the smart logo is on the hood and one where the script was on the tailgate.

ALL Benz stars are slightly curved in at least one way, sometimes 2 ways, so use these for a perfect fit.
I also got the euro-style 'fortwo' script from the pre-'08 smarts from a Canadian dealer for the lower left of the tailgate.
