Where's The Signature???

I had my c32 for six years, never really bothered to look at the signature of the technician that built the engine. anyway while cleaning my filters.....I noticed that the plate on top of the supercharger is BLANK.....no signature...nadda.....PHANTOM TECHNICIAN?!?!?
any of you guys have the same issue???maybe the tech was lazy that day???

maybe I should just sign it myself.....with a black marker too!!!
LOL, seems a little unfair since all the other AMG s have the signatures engraved. maybe it's coz our cars are the entry level AMG

Most all the 2003-2004's have the plate/flat spot on the S/C and the signature. The 2002's didn't even have the plaque mount location. AMG just started adding the sigs later than 02 (to all AMG's).

If you have a blank square on top of your S/C, your S/C was probably replaced at some point in its life and the original plaque went with the old S/C.

Go to ebay.de and do a search for amg. Talk to the seller and ask him if we can ship it to the US. I have bought 2 for 30 euros each about 2 years ago. Some of them take paypal and shipping is a couple of weeks.
