Yeah I know if I put lipstick on your ugly face you will still be a pig. Laughing for no reason proving again that you are a total idiot. Who said that installing the new AMG steering wheel makes the car AMG? Where did you get that from?? Did I say that anywhere? Again I will change whatever I want in my own car, and its not of your God damn business what badge I decide to put on my car stupid weird moron.

What is it to you whether an AMG, an AMG line or else? What is your business anyway? The trash bag is your face.

To each their own but I find it odd to put on fake badges. Be happy with what you have. Don’t pretend to be someone you’re not.

Yeah I totally agree: to each their own. We love fake badges around here we love playing around with our cars. We don't take things so serious nor personal and we dont judge others. In Europe they do the same and they have forums and groups on facebook. Again to each their own 👍

It’s honestly embarrassing. I own a base model and never have I thought of slapping a AMG badge on it. And when people do it it’s shows visually and performance wise. I have seen plenty of people doing it and it’s just a joke lol the fact they even show up to car meets is beyond me. But at the end of the day people spend their money on what they want and will do what they want, as they have a right too. And for people to go around writing, de badging and actually touching their car is out of pocket. Snap your pic, expose them and go about your day.

As matter of fact I never used cruise control, we dont have long highways. Lebanon is a small country is only 10,452 square Km.

Did you buy the exhaust tips and diffuser from MB or did you find an aftermarket seller? I'm curious if you had to perform any body work to get them to fit?

Fake badges are like fake watches. Only for fake people.

Body work is required for example if the car is not AMG line ie it has the classic exterior body.
