finally got an r230!

hi all, ive been trying to post for the past few weeks but i couldt, finally figured my problem out and solved it...
anyways
i was suppose to ask u guys what car to get, but now its too late.. i went for a 2002 r230 sl 500.
but.. it looks like an amg, and goes like one..
am i allowed to badge it as one?
i dont have the brakes or the amg interior, else wise i think they r the same
it has a 55 block, brabus heads and the rest is all kleemann, stage four i think.. even the exhaust all the way to the pipes then with amg tips.
dynoed at 650 rwhp.. i still want more dunno if i can get more lol.
anyways as i said my question is, should i keep the 55/amg badges on it or not?
i will be getting the pics real soon...
