photoshopped C55. Note the CLK nose's only on the C55, not other C-class.

I forgot where I posted the original picture. Either mbworld, mbklasse, or bnzsport.

Search my name + C55 to see if you can find the pic.

EDIT: nevermind...found the picture for you guys.

The top pic is photoshopped. Notice the oval foglights + CLK front + AMG caliper + sport sedan 5 spoke wheels = doesnt make sense. The C55 has rounded foglights and CLK front.

But I have to agree that I dont like the sport version of 203s all have AMG bodykits.

that's a negative too. The picture is photoshopped from the C55 picture. It's not anything at all. see the bottom of the first page for the original picture.

only the C55 has different headlights. even though it has the sport badge on the side and sport bumpers, not amg car bumpers.

if anything it would have to be a debadged c55!!
someone with a C55 changed the front bumper and added the sport badge!! :p

Thats from the MBusa site..
DO you think they would use photo shop on it?
I don't think so.
False Advestising is serious
The bottom line is MB sold us out.
Now anyone can have the AMG look..
Weak..
I am going to pounce every 05 non amg sport model I see

the black C320/230k is not photoshopped.

and like I've said before, I could care less. The AMG bodykit was not exclusive to the C32 to begin with. It has been offered as the AMG pkg through out the world since before the introduction of C32 AMG.

pretty much, but majority of people can't tell anyways.

if you check the W209 CLK gallery you'll find one of the picture of the CLK500 picture looks odd and it has the CLK320 rims.

edit: this pic right here.
