R129 SL55 AMG & W208 CLK55 AMG
amg versions of my car were resaling in the low 20k's($) when i bought my car. i bought my car cl500 for 13.5k's($), replaced it with the cl55 amg engine (2k's($)) and amg transmission (1k($))) and now i have the same drivetrain of the AMG. although i still am using the brembo calipers instead of the AMG calipers/rotors....
perhaps what you're really referring to is the little plastic AMG logos that always end up broken on the seats?!?!???!
I am sorry, I'll stick with my seats that don't break....or the little logo on the tach? lol i upgraded to AMG for the power and quickness, not silly logos and plastic emblems that fall off due to bad design.....reminds me of the abc system....i just want the amg boot badge because im proud of my drivetrain, just like anybody else who wears the amg badge. i am not somebody wearing an amg badge with a stock displacement powered drivetrain. the differences between the cl500 and cl55 are very minimal and tedious at best 
so say what you will, in my eyes i saved myself 4k by doing an engine/tranny swap instead of just buying the cl55 amg. which by the way isn't insured by as many insurance companies since it's branded amg(common reason for engine swap in american cars)....ALTHOUGH this wasn't even my plan to begin with -
somebody put bleach and dirt in my gastank so my old m113 cl500 engine developed a loud "lifter noise" that was quite unpleasant for a mercedes, so instead of replacing the valvetrain i decided to go AMG since it's the same car otherwise...
edit:not only did i save myself money buying the cl500, and by not fixing the valvetrain (very tedious work) but i got to upgrade to amg in the process. so like i said, suck on my nuts son!!

Pehehe, i knew a guy who pulled an Ari Gold - bought his wife a SL550 and re-badged it so she thought it was a 600, of course she found out when she took it into the dealer for service herself and almost ended their marriage

Seems like quite a few of us are not die hard MB fans here which is kind of a relief to the posers! LOL.
No insult intended gentlemen!
I wouldn't know, because my CLK was a 320 not a 55.
I found it very fitting to post those pictures in this particular thread because once upon a time, I was a poser myself. So I know the game and I know the excuses that came with it!
I don't care how hard you try, if it didn't come from tehefactory with an AMG badge on it, you have no right to put one on if you really appreciated the brand of car you're driving.
Front parking sensors, there was one in the back top liner as well.
Yes they are indeed. 
Thank you sir, the color was designo purple with two tone designo purple interior with designo magic eye trim.
The wheels were 18" replica SL mono design.

..........do you pay attention to the nonsense that spews from you? or are you one of those people who just enjoy listening to themselves speak?
what does having a job and buying health insurance have anything to do with what we're talking about? your bandwagon peanut gallery opinion is not only useless, it's downright mind numbing. please refrain from any further nonsensical thought vomiting
and who here is talking about a sl500....? you guys have fun with your shiny little plastic logos.
yes, i enjoy working on my car and rebuilding my car, having the knowledge and resources at age 21 is a nice thing to take advantage of. especially when you have time to kill. i'm done with this thread....

congratulations we are happy you put an amg badge on your stock 6 cylinder, i was trying to be polite by complimenting your car....there's a big difference between "an engine/tranny swap" and "claiming it's an amg and you just putting random badges on your car that don't even match the engine"......please do not confuse us to be one in the same. i also realize i am probably dealing with a bunch of right wing conservatives who wouldn't dare touch their precious car besides to change a simple pulley or air filter so i understand if the concept of a drivetrain swap might be a little beyond your mental capabilities. so like i said, carry on with your plastic emblems and such

I grew out of it, matured and saw the light! And got myself a real AMG!
Now I just pass on my wisdom to others who make the same mistake I did.

Passing down wisdom? All you're doing is explaining how you put amg badges on a stock 6 cylinder lmao. Not only did you pretend to have an amg but you also pretended you had a v8...
You guys are more clueless than I thought, the box on the back of the engine is a flux capacitor. You guys really need to start working on your own cars instead of paying other people to do it and maybe you'd know something
