Well, you'll be sure to catch some flack for the AMG badge, but thats all part of the fun.
Welcome to the forum! Car looks nice!

Gotta love those rims, but I don't love the AMG badge.

Thanks everyone for the stunning replies. I have been thinking about rebadging the c230 and amg letters on the trunk lid. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Thanks. So I have been thinking about debadging the amg badge and c230 badge. I don't know why the dealer put that amg badge at the back

I'd debadge the AMG, but debadging the C230 doesn't make any sense to me. What would you put in its place? It does look weird to not have anything back there - I had that on my car for a while, and it just looked weird.

What's next? Gotta keep modding.

Thanks for that info. I would keep the original badge and get rid of amg. I would also love to put a lil bitty of stuff done to my car but I don't want it end to up being so overdone.

Any suggestions on modding?

I would say front cf splittler, sways if you don't have 'em, drop it with coilovers. Then interior, stereo, and whatever else you can think of. Even on these cars, there's a good amount that can be done; just depends on money.

Thanks. Stereo upgraded already . I have the Dynavin d99+ installed now. I have changed stock grill too. Can I still lower with 17" rims? Wouldn't it be too low?

Stereo looks very nice. Seeing those pics, though, makes me think that you could use a better steering wheel. There's a F1 Medic steering wheel that you could get (do a search - it's a very sweet little upgrade).

And yes, plenty of space for you to drop your car. Check out phister's thread; good info there.

Looks good. Ya, same thing as everyone else, scrap the AMG badge. I like mine debadged, just looks cleaner to me and gives it a sense of mystery.

Easiest way to debadge is just get some dental floss, leave the car out on a hot day, and around 3:30 pm, take the dental floss under the lettering and gently push it through the adhesive on the backs of the letters/numbers. If it doesn't come off easily, then a heat gun or hair dryer if it's stubborn. Then remove the remaining adhesive (I just rolled it off with my thumb, but some goo gone can encourage it), and immediately wax the area once it's clean.
