why don't some AMG engines have a name plate?

I was wondering why some engines are not signed by the builder? Is it because their machine made?

Probably can but it wouldn't sit right on the SC.. Newer ones have the flat part on the SC where it sits correctly..

I remember a few threads and people have retrofitted the plate onto 02' superchargers.

When I was looking for '02 C32's, none of them had the plaque. I'm guessing my S/C or motor was replaced because my '02 came with a builders plaque. Anyone know if you get a replacement S/C from the dealer if it comes with a plaque? The previous owner didn't know anything about it. He was the only owner previous to me.

There was a guy on Ebay a while ago selling plaques that he made himself. They didn't look anything like the original, but still looked ok. I think it was the same guy selling the CF engine covers.

It's possible to get a hold of AMG with your VIN, and have an authentic plate ordered.

post july 2002 cars are 2003 models. they have the space for the plaque, but no plaque was added till mid 2003.

my local shop guy had tons of them when he was with Brabus where he pulled them and replace it with Brabus plaque when they had engine work done.
