c43 has the same engine, same hp, same torque, and it has amg on the rear. ok to put amg on c450 rear now?
of maybe not a good idea, amg cars have letter follows by 2 numbers not 3 numbers.
Absolutely nothing wrong putting an "AMG" badge on the back of your C450, afterall...Mercedes-Benz themselves refers to the car as a "C450 AMG". Heck, the C450 even has AMG badges on the front fenders, and "AMG" displays all bright & proud on the center console when you start the car up! Keep in mind though the C450 is not considered a "true" AMG...it's AMG "modified", hence why the "C450" badge comes stock on the left side of the trunk lid.
The only things the C43 has over the C450 is an ever so slightly different wheel torque bias, a 9 sp transmission, and the option of a louder exhaust...that's it...same suspension, same motor on both cars. So many C450s in my area have and AMG badge in back, and my dealership even offered to slap one on as well when I purchased my car (for $75)...I declined and just ordered one on ebay and installed it myself. I like the way the trunk lid looks more balanced with a badge on each side. Technically speaking, putting an AMG badge on the right side of the trunk lid is just referring to the car as Mercedes does!

To your point, is C45 AMG out of the question? I get the historical reference, but like 45.
What.......do mine first? How bout MASS45's, err, MASS450's? (Sorry 'bout that homie; had to see how it looked)
I sort of jumped all over this poor guy who put an AMG badge on his otherwise debadged C300, along with a C450 grille and exhaust tips. His rationale was that his car had an AMG Sport appearance package.
With the C450 though the car clearly has everything that matters in common with the C43. I think the C450 should have an AMG decklid badge.
Remove the 0 from 450 and you'll have a C45... And confuse a lot of people! Lol. I have "4matic" on the right.. ;-)
It's your car, do what you want. I recall MB themselves used to put AMG on the back of some ML550s because they had the AMG package. I recall them doing it on the CLK 430s also...

Damn right! That's traditional AMG badging pre-M156 V8......old C43 was a 4.3 liter V8 and the 55s (E/S/CLS55) were supercharged 5.5s. Always matched displacement, and since 450 alludes to the equivalent of 4.5 "V8 power", why not?
But, gotta get my RennTECH tune 'fore I do the 45 badge; swap it out with your 4matic (not really; I just have a 450 on the left)......but only if they give me their blessing. Don't wanna look too ghetto-poserish.
I’m a firm believer in its your car so modify it to your liking. The car is listed as a C450 AMG.
I like changing it up personally. So I’d ride a few months clean/debadged and then maybe with the AMG badges. Who cares...as long as you’re happy.
I ordered my AMG badge for the deck lid. If you type in the VIN for my C450, it comes back as a C43. I found that interesting. I won’t change the C450 badge but I want to put on the BITurbo 4matic badge on the side instead of the AMG badge on the front quarter panel as well. It’s literally what it is so why not?

Its your car badge it as you want. the people who believe you don't care. and the ones that do know will laugh but they dont matter.
It ur car I agree with putting the badge you want also remember the 450 is an AMG line so it is common sense to bade it as AMG
I feel like this is still a controversial statement. if there is not 2 numbers and it is not made in German is it really and AMG. I mean it could stand for Alabama Motor group
It's your car every if AMG did not make it one man. The Sport AMG engine in the C450/C43 has Nano cylinders protection which the C300/C400 did not have. AMG update the suspension taking parts from the C63. You will on your under side of your AMG and not Mercedes stamps. The Transmission is tuned by AMG ( I found this out when Mercedes could not solve my transmission program in which AMG was involved to solve it). The C450/C43 was and is AMG entry level or AMG Sport models whereas now, AMG now starts at the 53 Level.

anyways thanks for bringing it up, more on nanoslide: Standard
NANOSLIDE cylinder wall technologyThe cylinder walls of the diecast aluminum block are created in a patented process that benefits performance, efficiency and durability. NANOSLIDE technology uses a twin-wire arc spray to coat the bores with an ultrahard layer that's honed to an ultralow-friction, mirror-like finish. Without the added weight of cylinder liners, the bores and lightweight forged pistons are matched with even greater dimensional precision, for more immediate and consistent power over a longer service life.
No, the new cars have the Nano but the 2014+ W205 did not have this, only the C450 and the C43 did have this. Since it's the same engine, if you look at it, you would not see it. On the AMG Private Lounge there is information about what AMG did to the M276 engines for the C450 and C43 but nothing about them touching the C300 or C400 at the time.
I think it would be safe to say that sometime in the futures after the original W205 and the changed Mercedes was making with all their cars around this time, they may have changed it and made it standard. Nanoslide was a feature added by AMG and for their own products but I can see how a writeup from Wiki would not state such a things even though AMG Private Lounge stated such things.
The Mercedes-Benz M276 engine, introduced in 2010, did not incorporate nanotechnology as a standard feature at its inception. While AMG did later tune and enhance the M276 engine, there's no specific information to suggest the use of nanotechnology was a standard addition by AMG. https://www.rbmofatlanta.com/mercede...haust%20system.

Yes I realized after I posted that you were specifically talking about the W205 when you mentioned C 300 so there was zero point of me for linking the W206 C 300.
