Hey guys have a new to me S65 and am wanting to make people not question it. I understand it has no holes behind the rear S65 and AMG badges but are the V12 Biturbo badges ok to remove?

I would like to then perhaps put another badge on. I am thinking a perhaps C180? I am torn on leaving the AMG badge with the C180 so people can have that smug he's a poser with a AMG badge on his C180...

Please critique my plan as I want to make sure I have thought of all the angles.

So are you trying to make your S65 a sleeper by badging it as a C-class? That's just strange.

I guess yes a sleeper would be somewhat accurate. What would make a better one no badge or C badge? Obviously anyone that knows MB cars will know what it is.

I am not 100% sure I want to do it so looking for what other people have done or feedback on how terrible an idea it is.

If anything de-badge it.

I've thought about rebadging as an s320 bluetec just to freak out the greenie crowd that I got something they didn't know existed. Their follow up calls to the dealership looking for one for themselves would be priceless. I wouldn't rebadge as a C, it makes no sense. Anyone who knows anything would think you were an idiot.

w0ss

Yeah I will probably just keep it as is for now.

I have never, ever heard anything as crazy as what you posted on your original post. I've been mostly lurking on this board for a while now and I'm guessing you are joking about the C class badging. If you're not, it's a really, really, really bad idea. People will think you're an absolute... well, just don't do it.

Debadging would be best, but seriously, just leave the badging as it is would be my opinion.

HOw many miles on your 65?

w0ss

I will be leaving all the badges alone for now.

It is a 2006 with 70k miles

Put one of these on it and maybe a fake single huge fart can tip and have some fun.

Quit wasting your time talking about un/re-badging....just get a tune and most people won't have a chance to see what it says.

Second that advice. Properly tune the S65 and it becomes a sleeper even with the S65 badging.

You can debadge the Biturbo as they are stuck on with adhesive. I removed mine a couple years ago and then rebadged. MB replacement fender badges did not match the original when I decided to rebadge... it was like they changed the size and font a bit, so beware if you reorder. They can be removed and replaced if done very very carefully.

I am not sure if they changed the replacement items as I sold my 65 and got an S63 2013.

It's a different look and I've seen more debadged MB in Europe. I'd leave them on, but would never put a C class on there.
