Soooooo, that is a CLK 430 right?

If so why do you have AMG badges on it?

The exterior of his 430 is as much AMG as the 55 is..... Interior is a different story so don't go puttin AMG inside the engine compartment.

Why would he put badges on the engine when they are already there? To get that AMG badge on the back you have to have the suspension, transmission, engine, interior, right?

Or does the body kits suffice as an AMG?

2005 E55, 2002 CLK55, 2005 SLK350 also a 2009 BMW 335-IX
So what was it when it left the factory?

Did it have an MB 430 engine or an AMG 55 engine? What does the VIN say?

And it appears to have standard headlights...

I recall that all CLK55's (W208) came to the US with HID's standard...

At least mine did.

1- AMG badge was there when i bought the car ( 430 is a smallest engine i have, so i'm using the clk to commute everyday)
2- everyone have his own taste, so i think i like the way my clk is.
3- my lambo? i just tinted the tail light and put 19" GFG on it only, oh yea, a 10" sub too.

Looks real mean, race type clk, especially with those wheels,

Yeah the rear amg badge may be a lil mex, but the hood badge looks good and you cant see it unless youre up close.

Well, all you need is a blow dryer, some fishing line and some goo gone. Remove the poser badge and you'll be all set.

Dude, you live in a RANCH, in San Jose, with ZERO PROPERTY, and you are trying to tell us you have a Gallardo??? Nice try.

I wouldn't PARK my M5 in that neighborhood. And clean up your damn driveway its filthy.

I personally hardly believe young people to have such expensive car. You are not drug dealer right? But who knows?

I have seen people in welfare and driving a brand new E class. You just can never know.

And you know what? I have a co-worker 30 something, who has $400K in cash. (He sold his college investment home at the peak price couple years ago) I wish I had done something like that
