Is it C63 or C 63?

I've seen it used both ways.

Have you noticed how our rear emblem has a larger space in-between the C and the 6 than in-between the 6 and the 3?

Technically, all AMG models have the space between the letter and the numbers. If you look at everything that is official AMG or MB, the space is there (or at least, a half-space). Look closely on your car as well, the space is there.

I was editing my original post when you wrote that. That's actually what got me thinking about it.

The space is definitely there when it comes to logos, but when it comes to literature, Mercedes/AMG have been dropping the space. I guess both ways would be okay.

Disagree with you on this one, every piece of literature I have whether it's online (MB, PL, email) or in print (magazines, brochures, letters) has a space after the model name.

That said, I personally like the flow better of C55 AMG rather than C 55 AMG, and use it this way knowing it isn't technically correct.

Here is a quick snap shot of the AMG's website.... as you can see, there is no space between the letter or the digit when used in a font. But when used in a logo, the space exists

Wow, I stand corrected, nice find. I'm surprised no one in corporate has caught that, most major companies have departments that watch for and are veryyyyyyyyyyy particular about their branding, logos, fonts, colors, sizes, spacing, uses, etc. I've had to deal with it before.....

Actually in many of their menus and navigation bars, there was no space available. However, they could be in the midst of changing their style one way or the other To me, both styles look pretty good

Are we talking about in writing or the trunk badge? They could have different standards you know. However, I do agree that C63 reads much better than C 63.

Well this might not have come up often, but if you need to have your car repair and getting the badge put back on, then it's important to notice such detail. Once we need to get our E320 wagon in the shop, and the badge came back IN THE WRONG PLACE!

In the 2010 C-Class sales brochure (Canada) there is no space = C63

In the 2010 Operator's Manual (USA/Canada) there is a space = C 63

Depends on context I guess.
