how exactly did I interfere in anyone’s business? I’m just pointing out a fact. If someone wishes to let people know they are pretending to be something they are not that is their right.

Yeah ok point out as much as you want. You can also sue us if you want. That is also your right. We also have the right to put the badge we want on ours cars.

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.

I guess that depends. If you installed the new wheel and you have full functionality of all the steering wheel controls then you are a hero. If you just stuck the wheel on and couldn't manage tying in the wiring and coding for the controls that would be pretty lame.

Hi Mr. J, it was supplied with a module and airbags. Installation was basically plug and play. Everything works on it including its small mouse ect... The only buttons that dont work are for the cruise control. The seller advised me of this fact before I bought it. I can always use the stock cruise control stick if i needed cruise control. 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.

Very cool. I'm guessing this was a fairly expensive mod due to the airbags. I do like the look of the new wheel.

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?

The only aftermarket product I bought is the 10.25" Multimidia screen everything else is from my local MB dealer. No body work was performed at all. They basically removed the stock diffuser and exhaust tips and Installed the new C43 Diffuser and exhaust tips. Body work is required for example if the car is not AMG line ie it has the classic exterior body.

I prefer the clean symmetrical look too. Debadged just looks classier to me and it helps to make more of a sleeper.
