YES! Please remove those badges. The letters "AMG" and the numbers "6.3" should not be on your car anywhere.

Does it have a 6.3L engine? Nope.
Was even one bolt tightened by an AMG employee? Nope.

The car is pretty enough by itself, although the slats on the E55 front bumper are a little suspect.

I have to know. What was your reason for false badging? So people think you're richer than you are? I don't get it. Does the AMG badge on your engine cover make your car faster?

I don't understand these people. I certainly understand that the AMG cars look better than the non-AMG cars. Hell, I even did the AMG conversion on my E-Class, but you won't find an AMG, 55, or 63 badge on my car anywhere. EVER!

Car looks nice though. Are those Brabus replica's too?

Yes, the wheels are reps also. But considering that the roads there suck as he states I wouldn't want to run nice wheels any way.

I think he said it's dangerous to look poor in that culture. Who knows, the extra badging could be the difference between life and death.

I can see it now. You're in the marketplace and the bad guy approaches. Is that a real Rolex? OK, you can you can pass. Oh, fake Rolex. Sorry, I have to pop a cap in your ***.

To the OP, I'm just mess'n around. The car looks nice.

Well said.

To each their own...however, it's pretty weak to badge a car for something it is not. Should probably go out and buy a ROLOX too...

Lol, he** ya. I know what you mean. I remember a friend of mine when she first rode in my car. She fell in love with the pano roof. (It wasn't a big selling point when I was looking for a car. I was only looking for appearance and premium packages). So, about 6 months later she bought a 2008 C300 sport, white with pano roof and said how she had to have the pano roof no matter what. The girls just love it. Actually even if I ride in the back, I love looking up at it too. If only it would open all the way over the back too like a 911 targa. How sick would that be?
