Jp's_C230k_W203

What's up everyone? I called the dealer one time because I wanted to know what kind of audio system I have because I wanted to install my head unit. So I gave them my vin # and they proceeded to tell me all the stuff that was on my car as far as packages are concerned. Anyways, the did tell me that mu car has an AMG package. Is this right? I'm sure it is but I want someone on here to verify. Is it all the W203's with the sideskirts, and mesh in the front bumper the ones with AMG package equipped? So as far as my point of this question is to see your opinions on putting an AMG emblem on the car. Now I'm not trying to make it look like an AMG vehicle. I wanted to uy one and put it in the actual sideskirt or something. I just want opinions to see if you guys think it will be tacky or what not. I think it will look good as long as I'm not trying to fake people out because I'm not. If the car has an AMG package then why not right? All input is appreciated.

no do not put an AMG emblem on your car.

londonbenzkid

Agreed.

It looks tacky and people may want to race you since you have an "AMG"

My opinion is that you can put wings on a pig, but it still ain't gonna fly.

Obviously, do what you want - it's your car. But my opinion is that unless you have the engine, you don't have an AMG. It's like the "S-Line" option that Audi has on their cars, somewhat tacky.

No I understand that and I'm not trying to make it something it's not. I'm not planning on debadging the car or anything. Anyone who knows what they are looking at will know that it's not an AMG car by looking at the trunk. It's not like putting vtec on a Mitsubishi. If the car actually has an AMG package then it's representing something that's actually on the car is what I'm saying. That doesn't mean I'm going to do it, just further describing my point. It looks so far that it's a no-go.

No-go. I was bashed for just having CLK on my trunk (I didn't put it on purposely, the shop that fixed my trunk put the wrong emblems on).

You got the benz, dont worry about it being AMG or not.

AMG package maybe, but an AMG package does not make an AMG vehicle. Key is, if it was supposed to have the badge, it would come with it from the factory.

Jp's_C230k_W203

Yeah true that. I appreciate everyones input. In my mind I just thought it would be different because I wouldn't be putting it on the trunk like an AMG vehicle. Either way. That's why I wanted to ask opinions before I made a dumb choice. I value other peoples opinions, especially knowledgeable people from this forum. Thanks again guys.

At the end of the day, if your car didn't have a AMG badge from the factory it doesn't belond on there.

How about those benzes that come with an AMG emblem factory but don't have an AMG engine? What's up with that Benz? (blaming Benz for putting the emblem)

I believe it's an S550 AMG

e1000

what?

W203E35

When I went to the dealer for service (maybe year and a half ago). I saw 2 brand new S550 (if I recall correctly) and it had an AMG badge on it. Brand new. What's up with that?

W203E35

So I was not crazy. It seems the idiot dealers do put them to attract people.

giannidy

Wow dealers can be such a-holes

Jp's_C230k_W203

Damn man. I hope they aren't really that stupid lol!

W203E35

I don't know if you guys caught this but this one is real sad.

Not even the AMG body kit?? That's like them putting an AMG badge on the C class luxury (not sport).

You need to start your own car thread so you can put all your questions in one area so its easier to access and get quicker responses. Plus it'll put less clutter in the forum

If you must bear the letters, do it discreetly. I still wouldn't though, haha.

They make that for the trunk, to, I believe.
