Change badging on 55 to 63?
Hello Members,
Please forgive me for my question.
Is changing the badging on my 55 to the 63 badging a big no no?
The cars are indentical besides the badging and engine.
Would this be a MB enthusiast no no?

The 55 is respectful in its own way. If I had one I would personally leave it as a 55.

I personally prefer the Supercharger. I'm not biased or anything!

Without reading past the first post I can say why do such a thing? The CLS55 is already an extravagant car and the true enthusiast know it SCed and things could be lurking there besides the factory stuff. A CLS63 is amazing on its own but can you see or understand an owner re-badge it to 55 badges?

But Why ?
You don’t say what your motivation is ?
Is it so passing folks will think it's a newer model year, 2008-2009 ?
Everyone love’s the 55 motor and the CLS55 is a rare car in most of the world. 5 short years from now the average mileage on a CLS55 will be 100,000 miles. Since only 2,765 were made in 2006, twenty five years from now the CLS55 will highly prized and rare ($$$) at auctions. I suspect the CLS63 2007-2009 production will total 12,000-15,000 cars and will be much less collectable then your 2006.

A 63 badge costs about $115K +/-, even less with a trade in.

Why bother ,Jump straight to the 760li, and then GT-R for the 350z?
Seriously though, if you changed the 55 to a 63, You would fool 99.9% of the people on the road, BUT you'll be the 100% poser at the dealer.
