frankenstein 2001 CLK 430
Identity Crisis :D
I am mixed opinions that my totally modified CLK 430 qualifies to be an AMG or not:

here is what is on the car

w220 S500 engine
w220 S55 NA transmission,
w211 E55K supercharger,
w210 E320 3.07 differential,
w208 CLK 430 ECU,
"AMG" TCU speed shift
w210 E55 18" Alloys

Why not ask the experts?

Just type your VIN in over here: http://www.mercedes-amg.com/privatel...ogin/index.php

The 500 engine is still an M113, its external dimensions are the same as the CLK430 and 55.

Chappy has the correct idea...for sure, your VIN is for a CLK430, so it will not get you into the AMG Private Lounge.
No VIN, no engine, no badge.
Engine transplants from a non-AMG donor car do not qualify as an AMG, no matter how quick or fast they are.

the only good thing in not being an AMG is the insurance heheh

What you spent on to get your "Identity Crisis" would have bought an AMG and insurance for a couple of years.

Probably wouldn't call it an "AMG"...but how about "Frankenstein"

Definitely a great build for a 430 though

Keep us posted
