Default Commemorative Z06-not

I have a 2004 Z06 machine silver with commemorative edition front and trunk badges. I am the second owner and assume the previous owner added these badges since all true CE cars are Le Mans blue. Does anyone disagree?

All 2004 CEs came in Lemans Blue. It's my favorite color.

There were less than half Machine Silver Z06's made in 2004 than the CE Z06's.
Makes the Machine Silver more rare.
To be honest there were more Blue CE Z06's made in 2004 than another other color.

Only 967 Machine Silver C5 Z06's were ever produced.
(2004 was only year for Machine Silver).

2025 CE Z06's were produced.

I would take the CE badge off... It does not belong there.

Thanks for the info. I am planning to sell the Z06 and the badging was confusing.

I'll agree, that car is not a CE Z06.
