Nice work. And as soon as I saw the pics, I knew you'd be caught in an AMG badge argument. Dealerships even in the US sometimes will badge the mercedes as AMG. Even if you have the AMG body kit which does not come standard outside North America. This doesn't mean it's an AMG though. It needs the engine. One easy way to find out if Mercedes recognizes your car as AMG is try to access the AMG lounge with your vin number. If you can't get in then not even Mercedes recognizes it as an AMG.
But to everyone else, understand that different countries play by different rules. If all the MB dealers in Vietnam choose to recognize AMG sport kit with the badge, then OP is just doing what's customary for his country so lets not be too harsh.

Debadge all the amg so you won't look like a poser and the car will look great. Hate seeing m3,rs,amg badges on cars that are not. People need to be comfortable with what they have.

Well, apparently in some countries (including certain North American regions/dealers), they've decided that AMG-styled vehicles deserve the badging/branding either as an extra feature or for pure marketing purposes.
It is quite easy to understand if you think about how buying a standard BMW and add an "M Sport" package or a standard AUDI and add the "S-line" package, where you can discover multiple places with ///M or /S logos/branding. Quite similar to the idea of having the AMG sport bodykit and the rims.
Just keep in mind that AMG-styled =! AMG-powered. Much like BMW's own different wordings between "M-powered" and "M Sport."

Nice car. Looks good. I really like the camera work.
All South East Asian nations have a C300 AMG and C350 AMG. It's Mercedes Benz Asia that badges them straight out of the factory. I've seen them in Thailand, Philippines and even Hong Kong. The only difference with a C300 AMG and a regular C300 are the bumper kits, sports seats, rims, brakes, suspension. It's essentially the same as the sports package that we get in the USA. Different countries, different rules. I hate it's lame over here to put AMG badges on a non AMG car but I get laughed at by people from other countries too. My Chinese friends from China laugh at me when I look for a fortune cookie at the end of my Chinese meal and my Japanese friends laugh at me when I go to a Japanese restaurant and order rainbow rolls and California rolls. My Italian friends made fun of me for thinking that Spaghetti was an actual dish and not a pasta variation. So... Different country, different rules.

I owe you an apology then, assumed you put on ALL the AMG badges yourself. Didnt realize it was done by MB in Asia. I'm sorry! Car does look great though 
btw, how do you like the sprint booster?
