bumper and wheels are not right, wheel arches are very pronounced, like the AMG, but not the same bumper...probably a pic of a concept or something...

FWIW the wheels are what my dad has on his 2012 CLS...

after looking at it more, looks like a really ****ty photoshop. Just at the top of the passenger side headlight, it looks like the tried to paste a front clip of a different car on there with the white hood gradually fading out into the middle of the headlight

Isn't that just the normal stock standard front bar all 2012 C Coupes come with ??? ie. non AMG package.

IMHO it's a toss up between the 2, both look very good the stock one along with the rear bar and diffuser is neater whereas the AMG version is more sporty

All coupes in the US have the AMG package standard. Aus and everywhere else is optional.

Judging by the sport wheels that are available only in Australia, UK and Europe and the lack of amber reflectors I think that's a euro spec 2012 AMG model. But thats not necessarily a real car, it could have been the final pre-production model that they decided to change slightly after they began building them.

That's a shame you don't have the choice unless your totally content with the AMG kit because the OEM non AMG body kit is very neat as is and alot of people prefer that one

In Aust. we also don't have the amber reflectors up front - and thank goodness for that, I'd be ripping those off immediately they look terrible and completely out of place despite serving a purpose I know
