Hi All,

She arrived 2 days ago.
Only non factory fitted options are C63 Wheels and Bot Lip Spoiler.

I love it.

Happy days

what's up with the AMG badge?

PHYBENZ

I agree... no offense, but that's not an AMG, so you really shouldn't have the badge.. the wheels look nice and that's fine, but the badge has got to go.

Nice ride is the RIM 19" ?

How do u find the advance agility control ? Non of my friends here got that option ...... apparently it has to order with AMG pack

But i have to say the standard suspension is pretty good already, I would drop my ride when more after market kits available locally.

I am sure you will like this C class more and more.

oh oh,,,,, here we go again with the AMG badge.

you know, not all the authorized dealers are the same. Maybe that's something the Australian MB dealer put on the sports model.

I know for a fact that, BMW dealers in Taiwan put the M (for the M series) on regular 3 series in the past.
Same way with audi putting S-line on the regular A3, A4, and A6.
So, the AMG badge could have been done by the dealer, not the owner himself.

hi, i love your car is beutyfull, about the AMG, I think your car have amg rims so you can put AMG on it, i think that the bumpers are not thee standards, are the sport packege AMG bumpers, so your car is AMG. And i think that it comes from the factory with that AMG, mine is coming with it and i didnt order that so i think is amg in some countrys.

So Your car is beutyful i love it dont get mad with this guys.

Jey... guys go and buy a C63 and start talking....

yxc145

I just want to add.

There is no sports package in Taiwan, only the luxury, and some other model. To get the AMG body kit, you actually have to pay $5000 to $6000 to put that on at the dealer as an AMG appearance package. so that AMG badge probably comes with it.

erikguti

Same in my country... so i think is AMG, if you dont like the AMG go and put the luxury bumpers and wheels.

If you can enter your VIN on the AMG owner's website then you have an AMG...if it tells you that your car isn't an AMG and you can't join the AMG owner's club then you should listen to it and quit telling everyone that your rims and body kit make it an AMG. I've got all the same stuff on mine and it definately is NOT an AMG.

Or you could say that it is your car and you could put whatever you want on it....and you'd be right.

Most dealers will sell you an AMG badge to put on your car if you want one...even in the US. You'd probably end up on someone's AMG poser thread and those "in the know" will look at your car and shake their heads...but if you don't care about that then go for it....you buy the car = you control the badging.

Edit: Here's the link to the AMG Owner's Lounge for anyone who's interested in trying it out.... http://www.mercedes-amg.com/privatel...n_external.php

Beautiful car Marty.

Post more pics (but this time include some Aussie girls!! )

Ron Jr

That would be a lovely thing. Maybe wearing Wicked Weasel swimsuits

Rick Hunter

This thread is hilarious.

We'll lay off on the AMG talk if you post some hawt Shielas in WW bikinis.

Until then, welcome! And that ride is a nice & tight NON-AMG

I agree, the AMG talk is getting over-exaggerated. Owners from all over the world will do with what they please to their own vehicle. I think it's overblown anyway... it doesn't really bother me, but then again I'm just a a diehard MB fan that doesn't get rattled or offended by someone slapping an AMG badge on, for example, a W204 C-Class sport/avantgarde. I don't think MB doesn't mind neither, if anything it's more publicity for them.

And regarding the AMG PL, obviously to sign in & participate you would need a genuine AMG car... and it should end at that. Those without an AMG vehicle obviously can't use the site... and it should end at that too. Can't we all get along? We all drive the same marque. And we all cherish our own cars, as well as enjoy others' MB models. IMHO, just enjoy and happy My .02

Hi MB Tex - Thanks.

I will not talk about the AMG badge thing ever again. My car.

Hi Milsons & tanktube67 - They are 18's they came straight off a new c63 they are brand new. I bought them for $3k Aussie. Cheap as Chips
In Aussie you can't order 19'' for the factory ( something about our roads)
They are a dealer fitted option. They look ace of my car.

Yxc 145 & erikguti - Thanks.

Wblynch, Ron Jr,Rick Hunter. Pixs are coming very soon.

PS - Lucky in didn't buy those AMG door Sills

LOL
