Thanks for the encouragement guys. Agree on the badges. It may even be a issue with the law? Someone may report they saw a S 63 even thou it really isnt so
BTW the guy who arranged the works gave me a free bee and had my wheels foiled with smoked sheets.
Will post some before and after photos soon.

Love the mods! But I would definitely debadge... Beautiful well modified car but badgeing it as a performance AMG is a little like building a Rolex with a lower quality Tudor movement. Rolex makes the Tudor cases and parts, but use a base Swiss movement for the watch... Put a Rolex face on it it looks like one, but the heart of the watch is not Rolex... You've got the look and style but the heart of what an AMG is, is the engine, suspension, brakes and hand built components from AMG...
Stay true to what you have.. A beautifully updated V6! Be proud of that and not have the mechanics and service people laugh when they open the hood....
Badge it as it is or better yet, de badge and people can guess at what you have! And not criticize you for trying to fool anyone... Just my opinion.

Great looking car! Just debadge it... Don't be a poser. Keep people guessing as to what the car really is rather than pretend to have something you don't 
Looks awesome though congrats on a job done well!
