I've noticed that some of the CLS55 AMG's have a badge on the front fender that says V8 Compressor but mine doesn't. What is the difference?
I believe they only made the CLS55 AMG for one year, where did the V8 Compressor badge come from and why only some of the 2006 CLS55 AMG's got it?

Mine doesn't have the "V-8 Kompressor" either but trust me it's under the hood. They are just "stick on" anyway so if you feel the need..... For me I love the surprised look in the eyes of that Corvette driver I just smoked in my "dads sedan"!

A quick search on eBay and I'm sure you can find them.

Get the AMG 5.5 badge , that Kompressor badge looks dated.
