AMG mods on a S560

I read on one of my posts a week or 2 back that someone installed an AMG clock, I can’t find that post now so the guy that did that I like to know more about that. Also, is it possible (in a reasonable way) to install AMG exhaust tips on a S560? Is there any other AMG items that can go on a 560?

Also, I thought the AMG line option on a S560 was supposed to look the same as the AMG S63? I’m specifically referring to the front lower air dam (see photos).
Can parts be changed without much surgery?


A S63 I wanted

The S560 with AMG line

Well at least let me get a couple flat head Black plastic Push-in rivets to cover the awful screw holes made when mounting the front license plate.

No, the amg 'style' kit is not the same bumpers and side skirts as AMGs.
Please don't be one of those people who puts AMG badges on their perfectly fine MB.

Agreed! If it's not an AMG, don't put that stuff on.

I prefer the looks of the AMG not the S63 . Double chrome trim strips add more dimensions to the car that's already looking outstanding

I concur with comments above. However, if you do want to do a conversion, there are after market bumpers that will give you that look without too much cost.

Why does everyone assume I making a clone? All I asked about was the front lower facia and Tail pipes, maybe the clock.

It's not about clone . I also replaced the exhaust tips to E63's in my W212 as well. Because I like the looks of those more than other versions . I have seen worse conversions sadly (W221 to W223 )

I put fake AMG exhaust tip overlays on my car and a AMG chrome license plate surround on my S560. Glad I don't have a real S63. Everything is more money on those cars especially brakes and rotors.

Then the AMG line option popular on so many S550 and S560 is plain silly?
