A disgrace to MB drivers

I almost wanted to jump out of my car to debadge for the owner..

Come on, I wouldn't mind if you have an ///AMG badge since you have the AMG package. But, what the hell is that 55 behind it?

If you are on this forum, please take it off ASAP!

I'd rather be behind the wheel of your tastefully modified E320.

Probably he got the '55' emblem for free after buying new C300. Then, he just stuck it there rather than it stays at home

Actually, it's like having two cars in one.

The owner can decide which car he/she wants to drive that day, and attractively place duct tape over the other emblem.

We all have an obligation to rip those fake badges off on the spot!:

I always find it amusing that some of the true AMG guys DEbadge their cars. Then some standard C platsters AMG and crazy numbers all over their own car.

I would not de badge my SL550, but I did debadge my 07 Honda Ridgeline 4WD. There was more stuff on the tailgate than I wanted to see.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, my '99 S320 is a very special edition. It's an S320 AMG-V-M-SRT-SVT-Super Sport.

I wonder if there is enough room on the trunk lid to add a bluetec (or at least cdi) emblem. My car says "kompressor", so perhaps that could be added too. Again, simply duct-tape over those emblems you don't want to use that day.
