Debadging?
Took a look at my car, it looks exactly the way I want it to look except for the badges, Im having buyers remorse now and want to clean it up.
I wanted to get your take on it, Im planning on removing the V8 bades on the side and possibly the C55 badge on the back and just leaving the AMG badge on the passenger rear. Any feedback is welcome, I'd like to keep it stealth/clean.

Im leaning on just the AMG rear/trunk badge wondering if anybody has done this.

I definitely advocate losing the side badges. But with the rear badges, if you're going to have one, I feel like you need the other...it brings symmetry to the rear.
Beyond that, it's up to you man...do what is pleasing to YOUR eye.

Leave it stock. Lose the V8 badges keep the C55. Why would you want to take those off? A C55 badge is extremely rare to see on the street.

just leave both badges on in the rear like amg intended to put it ther eits jut some thing about mooving badges adding or removing that screams poseur im just saying if i say just amg on the right in my head i think damn he must have spent 15 dollars on ebay. if i see just 55 i think well he is half a poseur, the V8 one on the side is the tackiest one of them all it screams wow you feel like you have to prove to everybody that you have a v8 either way if it didnt come on your car when they delivered it. you are posing just my $0.02

Like photo #4, I debadged my C55. I then added custom "5.5 AMG" badges to the front fenders a la "6.3 AMG" badges -- stealthy on the road but looks great in parking lots.

Thanks for all the input.
I removed the side V8 badges I bought, and just left the rear ones on for now, I'm going to see how I like it and make a decision by end of week. I do agree if I remove any of the rear badges, Ill complete debadge it, definitely loops lopsided with just one IMO.

When I bought my car it was completely debadged. I thought it was
a pity that a car with performance and rarity like this, shouldnīt
show itīs true face. Now Iīve badged it my way!
The fenderquestion was tricky, to choose between 5,5 AMG or
the V8. I choosed the V8 for itīs simplicity, -easy to understand.
But I got to put it in the right spot!
Hereīs the result:

For the back of the car I went for C55 and AMG. But I wanted
something more... Luckily I found a chromelist on the net which
fitted perfectly above the licenseplate. Now it looks a little
bit of E-class! The chromelist fits nice I think with the other
chromed details of the car. Finally I put a small Kleemannbadge
just under the licenseplate because I drive their software.

On the whole Iīm very pleased now with the look of the car.
People have different views on badge or debadge their cars, itīs
a free world!
