OOOOooooo he told you

Ahmed

Maybe? I'd say definitely a better driver going straight!

NardoNZ

that doesn't say anything good about you...... especially considering the fact that your car has launch control....

Can someone archive this thread or something? Definitely one of the funniest I have unintentionally been apart of hahahaha

I still think the W208 CLK430 -> CLK430 AMG is the most faked one in my area. However the W220 S430/S500 -> S55 AMG is really being made popular by the African American crowd the last few years.

I honestly don't notice too many fake BMWs in my area. The first I've seen was just last week where a 640 was rebadged as M6, but aside from that I only see a few fake "M" badges from time to time but none are as bad as the Benzes I see.

Yes sir!

P.S. Chappy, where have you been?

Ahmed

I'm not aware of any C63 around here in my neck of the woods that can do a flat 11 second pass! But I must agree with you, beating that Acura should have been easy for me, I must be a lousy driver not beating an 11 second Honda!

Shame on me, shame on me! I have let down the majestic AMG owners!!!!

Career change + 2 young kids.....

Always a pleasure seeing old faces around here!

Take good care of them Chappy, and enjoy every moment! They grow fast!

Check pictures on this link https://mbworld.org/forums/sl-class-...r-r231-sl.html and wanted to see anyone comments on this. SL550 2013 from dealer. I don't think putting AMG badge on non AMG Mercedes especially SL class is wrong.

AMGAffalterbach

Okay, so next putting a Mercedes badge on a smart car will be ok? It's faking an AMG which is wrong, I mean let them do it if they want but I don't think they know how incredibly stupid it is. It is ESPECIALLY bad to do so on such a nice car, why ruin a new SL550 like that?

HCUBED

His AMG badged SL550 VIN will not get him in the AMG Lounge.
Without an AMG VIN, you are not an AMG owner. Very simple.

Yep, obviously it won't. Now let's ask ourselves why. It's not an AMG thus it is NOT AN AMG.

I got a question, I have a CLK550 with the AMG appearance package. I would never think about putting an AMG badge on my rear. With that said, I am looking for new centercaps. Is it acceptable to roll with AMG centercaps on AMG wheels, while driving a non AMG car. Opinions? I am looking for some new centercaps, something a little different than the Mercedes symbol.

It's your car, do what you want

mbslowner

I totally and obsolutely agreed with togaclk55100%. It's your money and your car do whatever you like and want and no one can stop from what your doing. This is a feedback from AMG owner(s) that you've been waiting for. There is no right or wrong putting AMG badge so it's time to STOP talking about the poser and moving on.

AMGAffalterbach

I think so if you have AMG wheels. I don't see a problem with it. Just like people put the aluminum AMG doorpins on their cars without driving AMGs I think it's acceptable.

ESKOOT

I used to own an E420 that had an AMG "Sport Package". It was "badged" (standard motor, suspension etc). An ex MB sales guy told him his dealership did it, so it might not be the owner's fault.

AMGAffalterbach

No AMG Sport Package came with an AMG badge, ever. You're right in that dealers sometimes badge their cars like that but no engine no badge and it should be taken off.

siopaolover

exactly. it doesn't matter who put the badge on (whether it was the dealer or the previous owner or your grandmother or the dealer's grandmother) the badge should not let people falsely claim to own an amg or be tricked into buying an "amg"

Perhaps we should just sticky my post from a few pages back: https://mbworld.org/forums/5489618-post1462.html

Not sure why there is still confusion on this at all. That should be the national anthem of mbworld lol
