I just saw the most horrible w202 today
Ok, so I'm driving on Torrance Blvd. in Torrance today and I saw this post 1997 (i.e. facelifted) brilliant silver w202. I was driving slowly (since my car is still in break-in right now) and I let it pass me. When they passed me it had "CLK 320" on it's decklid. I tried to take a picture, but couldn't get my phone out in time, nor could I position myself right behind her (it was a hispanic looking lady driving it).
My question is, why would anyone do that? Why would you put on symbols and things on your car that totally aren't true. The only people that they're fooling are the ones as stupid as themselves. I love it when I'm in Glendale and I see clear S430's (they don't even have xenon headlights, and the "honeycomb" rims) with S600 and v12 symbols all over their car. People that do this make me laugh and kinda get to me b/c in a way they're trying to "show-off" but in doing so they insult so many people's intelligence and the people that actually have the real cars.

I've seen that a few times in the boston area. I don't think the owners did that themselves, as one of the cars I saw was a elderly couple :p
Some body shops put on the lettering if the trunk has been replaced, which I believe the lettering they order comes in packages, so like if you need the "C" but the body shop orders the "CLK" lettering and they just throw all the letters on. Seen it happen before, not too uncommon.

Maybe he did have a V8 under the hood....
