It is only the exhaust tip you see there ,and it was weld it to the car chassis. I had also the rear bumber modfied for that.
I thought about putting the real deal , but actually it costs so much money ,and the the gain is so little from it , so i just decided to go for the tip only .

The AMG Badge on the trunk is to show that the car has an AMG body kit ,and AMG wheels only ,regardless what engine is there . However, many people in this forums do not like the idea of badging a car that is not truly AMG.
I am not ashamed that the car is a V6 . In fact , i could have removed the CLK 320 badge and put a CLK 55 insted ! but i am proud that is a V6 and i add the AMG beautey to it.
My personal opnion is , if the car did not have any AMG things like wheels, kit .. etc . then it is no sense badging it with AMG.

nice car man! also you might want to try to paint the surrounding of the grill to match your car, i think it would be interesting and suit the car very well ... so then you have the internal bars and badge chrome and the surrounding your body color, just a thought but still love the car

Nice CLK! Love the dual exhaust look
What size tires are those? They look nice and beefy instead of the skinny 225/45/17s I have on my front wheels..
I've been thinking of installing 235/45/17 and 255/40/17 (F and R)

good thing it doesn't get cold in SA, otherwise people would spot the fake tip

Thanks again for your efforts !
