Why????

If you're going to do this at least get the right badges, the right tailpipes and red calipers to appear slightly convincing...

It's a generic plate: NS(F)W, and "FN" which stands for F_____ Newb. Seriously, how small does your country have to be to get away with a two character license number?

1) Not a small country
2) Each state has unique plates
3) These are custom plates. He pays $500 a year for the privilege to only have two letters.

I have no idea what that sticker is on the plate holder but it's definitely illegal.

maybe he put it on as he's got a AMG LINE.

not great imo but each to their own if he put body stuff on and brakes etc. Then I'd be miffed but it's a badge. Who cares.

Saw a second vehicle in the same area that was a C250 with an AMG badge. I'm staring to think a dealer is adding this to AMG Line cars on their lot to convince people to buy them.

I have seen a few of them around and one C 200 with nothing but a Brabus badge on the top left corner.

In some markets MB installs AMG trunk badges with the Sport appearance package. They did it in the US on the launch of the 07 S550 but only for that first year.

It's not standard here but that's two cars in 24 hours in the same suburb!

There's a difference between modifying your vehicle to make it look the way you want than pretending to be an AMG which it clearly isn't.

That's interesting to know. I actually just saw an S550 with an AMG badge last week and I was thinking to myself, "why try to up-badge an S550, it's a freakin' S550".
