The previous owner removed all the rear badges accept the MB emblem.

My question is that on the invoice my c300 sport has the AMG style package. Am I able to put an AMG badge on the trunk lid without disgracing MB drivers?

Depends where you are. In Asia, I believe there are cases where dealers do put the "AMG" on cars that have the AMG style exteriors, but in the US, only full AMG cars come with them. If you're just looking to make it look factory, just a "C300" on the left side, facing the trunk, would do, and a "4MATIC" on the right side if you happen to have one.

//AMG on a non //AMG is frowned upon greatly in the MB community.

You know, I personally would never place an AMG badge on my car, and im sure many others on this forum wouldn't either. But with that being said, it is your car and you can do as you wish, as long as you like it, thats all that matters.

Its your car, do what you want with it but if you happened to find a picture of your car on here or at any other websites, labelled as a Poser, don't get mad.

Idk if i would do that. when i think of AMG, i think of power not a c300. But like others said if it makes you happy do it but it is greatly frowned upon and you will more than likely get a lot of crap on the forums for doing it.

One thing i would be most embarrased about is if a real AMG pulled up on ya and looks over at your AMG badge,

I would just leave it alone, any badge you put just won't look right, it will always be crooked and you'll never get it right. I like the clean look of debadged cars, but I'd never take mine off just cause I know I'd never get it to look like it did when it came from the factory if I ever wanted to put them back on.
