I definitely want to snag one of those plates. Where did you get it and how much?

Do you need the euro plate adapter to put it on the car?

AFAIK, you can only get them in Affalterbach. I have some friends who have visited the AMG plant - and returned home with them. I've never tried to mount it, so I don't know about the adapter, sorry.

Thanks!

now the hunt begins.

You can order it through the dealership but it is blocked by MBUSA. I guess I'll call my friend and see.

Is there a part number anywhere on that plate or in the box? That would help out a lot! PM it to me please if there is.

Chris,

Beautiful car as always! Nice work on the custom V8 springs!

To complete the authentic AMG look you need to slap your old Monoblock I's back on and paint the centers body color black....oooooh!

PS I like the current wheels also.

thanks!

There are still a few sets of custom Vogtland V8 springs left.

Anyways, I would put my AMG Hammers back on for *****s and giggles but I only have two wheels - which are for sell by the way. The only 2 which would of completed the set were losted.
