Lol, this whole deal just cracks me up, having been on here for a few years I have seen so many of these threads regarding badges on cars and they really never get old. I'm laughing right now so I guess I can officially call myself a comedian...right???

I usually hold my breath when someone posts new pics of their c55 w208 or AMG CLK 320/430. Some of us get it and some don't and those who do realize it's going to be this way forever. My advise to those who think they have an AMG but dont is to de-badge your car and let people wonder what it is. It looks good and no-one can call you a poser...

Yes, you do remember correctly. I posted this same pic earlier in the thread. Back when it was still about smoked tails.

What kind of loser steals a badge you can get off ebay for $10? (except for maybe the kind of guy who sells them on ebay for $10)

Do you have comprehensive insurance? This would definitely be a vandalism claim (zero deductible in most cases)

I used dental floss and a blow drier to heat it up. I then wet sanded off any left over residue.
