W220 S55 AMG
s55 amg gen1 but original body kit?
Hi,

I bought S55 amg 2002 a few years ago and I recently realized that my s55 is on the original s500 body kits not amg - not only bumpers but also kick plates.

Does anyone hear that s55 amg gen 1 is on the original body kit? Because here in south Korea, everyone wants amg body kits. Who wants to put the original body kits instead of amg? even in kick plates?

BTW, I live in Korea and my car is from Germany.

Thanks in advance.

I have seen one 2001 S55 amg with non-AMG body kit, only the rear bumper is the amg kit. That's because the car had a accident and the previous owner want to sell the car so he put non-amg front bumper and side kick so he can save a lot of money to fix it ! It happen all the time with the amg car more 10 years or older !
