Thumbs up Pix of my c55

Hello AMG Bro's

2 months ago, I purchased a c55 with 60,000km (after owing a c32) and boy this car is amazing... The c55 is an outstanding machine, AMG and MB really made an imprecive sports car.. I can't stop driving it

Here are some pix, sorry for the quality:

Nice pickup.

Might want to consider removing that V8 badge.

Sharp ! I've always loved the C55's !

Why take the V8 badge off ? Just curious guys. I've never seen one come with a V8 badge.

Must be something with the Euros??? I say keep the badge and get another one and maybe use it on the sides if none are there.

the euros like badges as us yanks dont

keep your badges
in fact you might want to add more on the fenders to let everyone know how much you pay in road tax and gas on that thing

I think the V8 badge on the fenders would look good; I've even considered doing it myself.

But the V8 badge next to the C55 letters just looks horrible and tacky.

Beautiful car...V8 badge must go away schnell!!


Two reasons to dump the trunk baggage:

Trunk starts to read like an eye chart at the doctor's. And V8 is a vegetable juice.

They don't come with V8 badges on the trunk. Someone put it there and it needs to come off.lol

OP - Car looks great aside from that. What made you go from a 32 to a 55? Congrats on the new ride.

Yeah , I kinda figured they didn't come with them. But still , I don't see anything wrong with it. Now if it was in black letters or ricey looking , yeah , take it off . Hmm , I wonder if they come with V8 badges in that country though ?

Nope, other than the fender badges which are the same as all the others around the globe.
